Good Morning Chester County,

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, and for our friends who may have enjoyed things just a little too much for St. Paddy’s celebrations…well, I hope you have some electrolytes and ibuprofen nearby to power through the day!

We’re still in our first full year of writing the Buzz, having started in late October.

Now there’s almost 9,000 of us connecting over the best things to do here in ChesCo.

Wow.

Having started this as a way for my wife and I to find new things to do outside of our same-old plans, I still get a big smile every time you reach out and share your favorite restaurants, things to do, or good times had from an event you found reading this.

We’re inching our way into Spring, and with that you’ll find some of the great annual events that happen around our County each year.

Can’t wait to see everyone out and about as the weather turns (if you see me out w/ my ChesCo Buzz hat on, say hi. It will make my day).

This is what we’ve got on tap:

• Word Scramble and ChesCo Trivia

• Elmo & Slinky are up for adoption

• 35th Annual WCU Jazz Fest

• & 35 other local events to check out this week!

The Blend

A curated mix of local stories, updates, and announcements from our team.

 ♥️ Adoptable Pet of the Week

🐶 Meet Elmo

With so many adoptable animals out there, picking just two to feature each week can be a tough challenge…but sometimes, a photo stops you in your tracks.

With not much known about his background, Elmo is a show stopper with good looks to spare. This 1 year old pup is ready for a forever home that he can call his own.

🐱 Meet Slinky

At 10 years young, tuxedo cat Slinky is your perfect buddy-to-be with his friendly, mellow personality. This former stray enjoys bird watching, playing, and snuggling, proving senior cats still have plenty of love to give.

The Featured Pour

A closer look at the standout events happening this week

This week’s featured event is the 35th Annual WCU Jazz Festival

When: 3/19 - 3/22 with performances throughout each day

Where: All concerts take place in Madeleine Wing Adler Theatre

What to expect: This free (mostly!) event brings together world-class musicians, WCU’s talented students and faculty, and even rising high school jazz bands.

This year’s festival features saxophonist Steve Wilson, who will perform in multiple concerts, including a special chamber collaboration and a big band showcase. You’ll also hear Grammy-nominated pianist Gary Versace, WCU’s Criterions Jazz Ensemble, and the world premiere of a new concerto by six-time Grammy-winner Billy Childs.

Whether you’re a die-hard jazz fan or just looking for a great night out, this festival is a can’t-miss event. Most performances are free, but grab tickets for the High School Jazz Fest and finale.

What’s Brewing

Upcoming events you won’t want to miss this week.

_{If you see “$” in the event description, that means it is a paid event. Events with no “$” are free to attend!}

We’re nearly at spring time y’all. That means outdoor dining, more fun events, SUN..I’m ready.

Send this to the friend who always complains there’s nothing to do in Chester County 😉

Talk next week!

With Gratitude,
