If you've never been there, you don't know what you're missing! This is such a great event - a worthy cause, delicious food, wonderful music, and lots of friendly faces. If you're from the Norristown area, it will feel like "This is YOUR Life!" I enjoy being a vendor there - it's a chance to see folks I've known from different times of my life. Thanks for doing such a great job covering the event, James.

People are simply ignorant. The pastor of my church on West Marshall Street is daily picking upRead More empty snack bags, soda cans, and trash that either walkers drop, or motorists throw. We tried to get a trash can, and the borough refused.

Mary Ellen, if you would like to share a neighborhood for The Norristown Project to clean, bringRead More pictures of the area when you come to the Moore Street cleanup. Our volunteers pitch ideas for future cleanups which is how we decided on Moore Street. Maybe Kohn or Main will be a project in July. The possibilities are endless as long as we have volunteers coming out and pitching these ideas.

Dang! I wish I read this when it was posted. I would have loved this opportunity! I know a girl atRead More NAHS who just started a club called F.L.O. (For Ladies Only). The discuss fashion, beauty, etc. If they knew about this they could have fund raised to be apart of this. Being that its one month away, I doubt $750 will be just lying around. I hope Harcum will offer this next summer as well, it's a great school and a wonderful opportunity to get the skills needed to survive in the Fashion Merchandising realm of College.
