💡The Champs Are Here!

Good Morning, Upper Merion! 👋

I’m only on day 5 of my summer break, and I feel like the weather escalated pretty quickly. Rest assured, I’ll be putting my pool pass to good use this week! If the pool isn’t your thing, I saw a bunch of indoor options on the new calendar I’ve put together for you. I’m looking at you, .99 cent bowling and $2 mini golf at Arnold’s🎳⛳.

Also, I wanted to give a big shout out to the Upper Merion 9u district baseball team for winning the district 2 tourney this past weekend. States are up next! As someone who had to endure 4 softball games this weekend, I can appreciate the grit it surely took to power all the way through to the end! Good Luck at states!

ONE LAST THING…..

I’ve been walking past this sign for the better part of 5 years. Probably more to be honest. For reasons unknown, I just became curious to the reason it is there. I inquired in a local FB group and enjoyed reading the responses. I was going to try and gather some information to write a “story,” but that’s not really my strength…or something I care to do 🤣. Plus, I really enjoy connecting with you online!

So, I started a thread over on the Spotlight’s FB page. If you have a memory to contribute OR if you’re interested in learning why this sign exists over at Heuser Park, CLICK HERE and let us know.

Thanks for reading!

STAY COOL!
