GALLERY: Second Annual Taste of Spring-Ford

played host to the event, put on by the Touchdown Club on Thursday night. A variety of local eateries were on hand to give out food to hundreds of students, residents and children between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m.

Last year's event was put together in three weeks, but with more time to prepare this year, it was a packed house with lots to do, including a gymnasium full of athletic events like tug-of-war and football toss, and another gymnasium with fun children's stuff like a balloon artist and face painting.

The event was organized by Jessica Reigner, whose husband, Doug, is the senior class principal. Reigner was assisted by a plethora of willing volunteers. Reigner said that there were the same number of vendors as last year, but more entertainment for this year's event.

The Spring-Ford football team has only one loss this year and with the 27-20 win over Pottstown last week, have made districts for the first time ever.

"We had those expectations," said second-year head coach Chad Brubaker. "We tried to instill that from the start. I thinke everybody has the same goals, so when you come into the season and the goal is to win the league and make playoffs, then we're no different than everybody else, I'm sure."

During the first half-hour, the football players helped out getting prepared, filling drinks and cleaning up, but found it to be a nice day off from football.

"Our goal is to do well PR-wise with the community," Brubaker said. "It's nice. They've been looking forward to it all week and I think they enjoyed it."
