Good Morning Chester County,

We have a great week ahead.

Why?

Temperatures are supposed to stay above freezing most days, for one.

The Eagles are going to the Super Bowl, so this is either the happiest or the 2nd happiest you’ll see the greater Philly area all year.

And I just found out I could save 15% or more on car insurance by switching to Geico.

If you get that last reference, congrats, you’re at least old enough to say you watched commercials on TV growing up instead of just streaming all of your shows on Netflix.

Alright, enough nostalgia.

This is what we’ve got on tap this week:

• An update on Chester County Coffee Club T Shirts

• ChesCo history trivia

• PXV Firebird Festival this weekend 🔥

• +30 other local events happening this week

The Blend

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

☕️ ChesCo Coffee Club T Shirts Update

Samples for our Chester County Coffee Club shirts should be coming in early February!

We’re taking our time with the production of this run because we want to make sure the quality is top-notch.

Many of you reached out saying you’d be interested in a shirt, so we wanted to send this poll again to get an idea of how many shirts we should order.

On this first run, we’re planning on limiting the first order to 50 shirts. Once they’re gone, no more. 

That number could change with your feedback, so let us know below ⬇️

This annual celebration honors Phoenixville’s namesake with the burning of a massive 20-foot-tall wooden effigy that takes three months and countless hours of community effort to build.

The festival is all about art, culture, and the cycle of life and renewal.

It’s a chance to come together, celebrate creativity, and enjoy amazing performances, local crafts, and delicious food.

REMINDER: It’s completely FREE to attend and complimentary buses will be running and are located at:
