A dog show and polo match at the beautiful Tinicum Park.The Tinicum Polo Club will be hosting this event on Saturday, Sept 22, 2007. If you’ve never been to a polo match, it’s a lot of fun for the whole family. If you have been to one of the matches, you already knew that.
Polo is a fast paced, intruiging game that requires superb athletic and equestrian skills.
The pooch show promises to be a lot of fun with categories such as least obedient, and best vocal performance. At the end of the day, there will be a pet parade. Gates open at 1pm. There is an admission charge but there will be a complimentary buffet courtesy of the Willow Grove Great Britains Automotive Group.

Once again knights and ladies are at the rennaisance faire in Wrightstown on Sunday, Sept 16, 2007.
There are lots of things to do and see for everyone. Pictured above is a trebuchet, a medival seige engine at about 1/4 scale or so. (Actual trebuchets apparently stood about 40′ tall). They were throwing cantalopes and other assorted fruits and veggies about 300 yards with it.
One of the highlights was a well done human chess match with some unexpected twists…. ie. knights boxing and swordfights … samauri style.
The afternoon jousting is always an attention getter. The event begins with demonstrations of training such as catching rings on lances and ends with two mounted knights shattering lances on each other’s shields.
There were a number of vendors and prices were very reasonable for goods and food. You could find everything from arts and crafts to broadswords.
If you missed this year’s event try to put it on your calendar for 2008. It is definitely worth the cost of admission. It’s educational as well as entertaining.
Here is some info about an event to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society that will be held at the Temperance House in Newtown, Pa
Hello,Next Wednesday, Sept.19th we are having a Beef N’ Beer Blast to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. As you may know, many good people in the business community have stepped up to help organize several fund raising events for this cause. Some have stepped up as these diseases have impacted them personally and others have joined in to simply lend a hand where it is needed. I have been truly humbled by the kindness and generosity that the people in the community have demonstrated with this cause. On Wednesday, we’ll be celebrating our good efforts (Beer, Food, Music, etc.) while continuing to help others.This is a great opportunity for you to spend time with some friends and people who you know are willing to contribute to a great cause. We’ll have live entertainment and plenty of food and beer. What else can you ask for in a party?Tickets are available at The Temperance House or by calling me at 267-987-2287. You can also hit reply to this email for more information. We hope to see next Wednesday night and I look forward to toasting everyone who comes out to support a very worthy cause.Thank you,
Peter Casey

The Village Renaissance Faire will be held at the Middleton Grange Fairgrounds in Wrightstown Pa on Saturday and Sunday September 15th and 16th.
There is something for everyone at this event. We attended about 2 years ago and had a terrific time. Events included: A huge chess game that the kids could play, renaisannce era plays, kids getting to fight knights in armor (with nerf swords), fencing, pony rides, archery, arts and crafts and dozens of other activities.
One of the highlights for us that year was a working trebuchet. If you’ve never seen one of these medeival seige engines at work, they are truly amazing. This particular model could throw a watermelon over 300 yards. (of course, the trebuchet may not be there this year).
If you go, don’t miss the jousting at the end. They began with a play of sorts to set the mood. The action then moved to the field with various mounted demonstrations such as catching a ring with a lance. The particpants are wearing full armor. The demonstrations were followed by jousting. Seeing two mounted knights charging at each other and shattering their lances on the other’s armor is amazing. The scene later shifted to dismounted swordplay. When we attended we found out that the good guys don’t always win.
Anyway, in our humble opinion, the Faire is a fantastic way to spend a day with kids of all ages or just by yourself.
Tips
- Bring plenty of sunscreen
- Wear comfortable shoes and clothes.
- Bring some extra money for events such as the kids dueling with a knight and food.
- Plan to spend the better part of the day, especially when they are doing the jousting
- Bring a camera and/or video camera, especially if you bring the kids. It’s not every day you get a chance to get a picture of your kid fighting a knight.

I ran into something i have not seen before in our ten years in BUcksCOunty. There was a small hole in the ground about 10′ from our front
door. I noticed some wasps flying to and from it.
i didn’t realize at first how lucky we were. As i read up on it ifound that the wasps are deadly if you disturb the nest. Thercan be
over 5000 in one underground nest.
i figured out how to safely get rid of the hive. Caution is a must –
or hire a pro.
IT would be a good idea to take a careful look around for waspactivity. Do NOT try to use gasoline or kero as it will get into our
ground water.
