ABOUT THE EVENT
Historic Yellow Springs is teaming up with the West Pikeland Township, the Chester Springs Library, Salt Performing Arts and Life’s Patina Mercantile and Café to host a village wide open house event on October 23rd from 12 – 5 pm, rain date October 30th.
Yellow Springs was first noted in a Philadelphia newspaper in 1722. The report described the “yellow waters” and their curative powers. Over the past 300 years, the village has served as a health spa, a Revolutionary War hospital, a Pennsylvania Soldiers’ Orphan School, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Country School, and a movie soundstage for Good News Productions. All with very little change to the landscape.
Guests will enjoy a fun Fall afternoon of activities in the village! Explore the preserved buildings and structures on a history scavenger hunt! State Representatives Carolyn Comitta and Katie Muth will be introducing our event to kick off the kids Halloween costume parade started, led by the Street Beans Band in a second line down Art School Road to start the concert! Bring a lawn chair or a blanket to the music meadow and savor the soulful sounds of Dylan Zangwill, a recent contestant on America’s Got Talent! Food, craft beer and wine will be available for purchase.
The scheduled activities include Glow for Good, a nonprofit pumpkin carving contest and a chance learn more about other local historic sites and organizations in Chester County! The pumpkins will be on display and votes can be made via donations! Other activities include trick-or-treating, a “Meet and Greet” with Cinderella and Prince Charming, a Revolutionary War history talk, kids crafts, games, raffles and more. This event is free and open to the public. For a full activities schedule visit our Facebook event page: https://fb.me/e/1QJRETYPe
