Souderton is the Place to Be Tomorrow!

Do you "love a parade"? How about outdoor festivals with music, games, food, fun, and friendly-faces? Fireworks, anyone? How about a beauty contest where the best beard and best period costume are the ticket to win? Perhaps a bike decorating contest for all ages is more your speed?

Souderton is celebrating its 125th Anniversary this year and tomorrow the celebration will be HUGE!

Yes, yes, I know. Souderton does not fall within the boundaries of the North Penn School District. But, anyone who has been following NPUT for a while knows that, when special events come up that are worth the drive, I make exceptions. Such is the case this weekend. (And, really, Souderton isn't that far!)

What originally drew my attention to these festivities is the Chestnut Street Playground Community Block Party that is the crown jewel in a weekend-long celebration. You may remember the recent post about the "New Special Needs Accessible Playground in the Works" which will be a wonderful place for many so families in the greater Bucks-Mont region.
Here is a quick rundown of events for tomorrow:

The Bike Decorating Contest starts at 10AM. The registration and judging will be at the Univest Plaza located at Main & Broad Streets.

Beginning at 11AM, the 125th Anniversary Parade will be staging at Grace Bible Church on Main Street. The parade will proceed down Main Street to East Broad Street and finish at School Lane.

Best of all, the Chestnut Street Playground Community Block Party starts at 11AM! The fun will be located at Wile Avenue & West Chestnut Street. North Penn Under Ten is pleased to be a participant in the Block Party which is raising funds for the Chestnut Street Playground Project.  

The Block party will feature 100 vendors with food, carnival games, and giveaways. Plus, a dunk tank, moon bounces, DJ, live band, fire truck rides, face painting, fire juggler (woah!), and more!

Bring your appetite and enjoy pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, water ice, funnel cakes, BBQ pulled pork, "sausage grillers" from Leidys, Rita's water ice, Kona shaved ice, Coldstone Creamery ice cream, baked goods table, ice tea, chocolate milk and lemonade from Lehigh Valley Dairy, root beer floats, and smoothies!

If all that isn't enough for you, return to Souderton Sunday night for Concert Sundaes in the Park at 7PM in the Souderton Community Park for a fantastic firework display following the Concert Sundaes performance by The John Hoey Swing Band.

Hope to see you tomorrow!!
