Good Morning Chester County,

We learned last week that the second Friday of January is called “Quitters Day.”

It’s the day where people are most likely to abandon their new years resolutions.

I’m all for the creation of random holidays (I’m looking at you, National Donut Day) but this is one I won’t stand behind.

Making any change is damn hard and I give anyone credit who is trying to pull themselves in a positive direction.

So, if you accidentally celebrated Quitters Day already here’s your reminder to get back on the horse and keep at your goals. We’re rooting for you.

This is what we’ve got on tap:

• Senior pets ready to be adopted

• Serene Snowy Moments in the borough

• Ben Bailey is bringing laughs to Phoenixville

• +30 other great events happening around the county

The Blend

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

 🦅 Playoffs Are Upon Us

It’s that time of year again.

Whether you’re an Eagles fan, root for another team, or haven’t watched a game this season we all know one truth: “Go Birds” is now an acceptable way to express…well…just about anything in the greater Philly area.

If you’ll be watching next Sunday (@ 3 PM), are you staying at home or going out to your favorite local spot?

🔧 Getting Better Every Week With Your Help

Last week we asked whether you’d prefer shorter event descriptions (featured last week) or the more detailed descriptions which we’d been writing regularly.

85% of votes came in asking to keep the event descriptions concise - so we’ll keep moving in that direction. With that in mind, we’re always testing ways to improve and make our newsletter better for you.

We may be the writers, but this newsletter is all of ours. We’ll continue to try out new things, gather feedback, and iterate. One step at a time!

The Featured Pour

A closer look at the standout events happening this week

This week’s featured event is: Ben Bailey (of "Cash Cab" fame) w/ Special Guest Chris Coccia Live

When: Saturday, 1/18/25 - Doors at 7 PM, Show at 8 PM

Where: Colonial Theatre, Phoenixville

What to expect: Comedy fans, get ready for a treat! Ben Bailey, the Emmy Award-winning host of the beloved game show "Cash Cab," is bringing his hilarious stand-up to ChesCo.

Before he became famous for quizzing unsuspecting New York taxi passengers, Bailey was crushing it on the comedy circuit, performing at prestigious festivals like Montreal's Just for Laughs and becoming a regular at The Comedy Store. You might also recognize him from shows like "30 Rock," "Brain Games," and "Blue Bloods."

With three Emmy wins under his belt and two Comedy Central specials to his name, Bailey has proven he's much more than just a witty cabbie. Don't miss your chance to catch his show this weekend.
