☕️ No April Fools - Just The Best Events

45+ events, a new local business bulletin, and an adult easter egg hunt

Good Morning Chester County,

I’m happy to inform you that this will (likely) be one of the only emails you see today without an April Fool’s Day joke, pun, or otherwise eye-rolling “gotchas.”

Not because there’s anything wrong with having some fun…but because your inbox, timelines, and conversations as a whole today will be filled with it.

Well, the Buzz is a safe space today so sit back, scroll through, and see what’s going on this week.

This is what we’ve got on tap:

  • New Business Bulletin - Need Your Feedback

  • Adopt Bougie & Ethel

  • West Chester’s Adult Easter Egg Hunt

  • 40+ events to enjoy this week

The Blend

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

📍 Introducing: The New Business Bulletin

Supporting local businesses is core to what we do at ChesCo Buzz.

But starting a business is hard enough without having to pay for advertising… and sometimes it can be hard to stay up to date with all the newest businesses around you, so we’re launching something new:

A free, weekly spotlight of new local businesses.

Every week in The Blend, you’ll get a quick, easy-to-scan list that looks like:

Business Name | Type | Location | Quick Info | Links

Each business stays listed for at least one month, depending on number of entries.

Maybe you’ll discover your new favorite spot or go-to contractor?

This will be a work-in-progress, so expect things to change & improve as we go.

Let us know your thoughts!

♥️ Adoptable Pets of the Week

🐶 Meet Bougie

Don’t let this handsome fella’s name fool you, the only thing he needs to make his life complete is your love. He is dog friendly, happy to go on a walk, and is ready to meet his forever family.

🐱 Meet Ethel

Ol’ blue eyes here is ready to find a new home after her previous owner had to surrender her. She’s sweet & affectionate, but is not the biggest fan of being picked up. All she needs is a chance to show you she’s the one.

🧐 Games & Trivia

If you read last week’s issue - here are the answers to the word scramble & trivia:

Word Scramble - Longwood Gardens

Hint: Hiking, kayaking, swimming, & more are all on the menu for this favorite summer hangout spot.

A closer look at the standout events happening this week

This week the adults get to have some Easter fun with the Downtown West Chester Adult Easter Egg Hunt

When: Friday, 4/4 from 5 - 7 PM

Where: Downtown West Chester, 2 N High St, West Chester, PA 19380

What to expect: Remember the thrill of hunting for Easter eggs as a kid? It's back, just with prizes you actually want! No chocolate or loose change; these eggs are stuffed with local restaurant gift cards and sweet discounts to your favorite borough shops.

With multiple hiding sessions throughout the evening and eggs tucked in shops and along main streets, you’ll get a fair shot at the goods.

Not feeling the hunt? Swing by the game station at the Historic Courthouse for yard games with prizes. The best part? It's completely free—no tickets, just grab your crew and join in, rain or shine!
