Good Morning, Upper Merion!
Happy Saturday! Last night’s first snow of the season gave us just enough winter magic to make everything sparkle, but without the need for shovels. ❄️✨ For that, I’m thankful!
Santa’s making his rounds today with two chances to see him in action. Don’t miss your chance to wave hello! 🎅
Looking to unwind? YogaSix is hosting a pop-up event at Workhorse Brewing, blending relaxation and refreshment in one unique experience. 🧘♀️🍺
And let’s celebrate some local community members: Upper Merion’s Holiday Lights Contest winners have been announced. Be sure to take some time to check out the great pictures!
Ok, let’s get to all this good stuff! Ciao for now!
