Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• October In Pottstown: Fall Fun, Festivals & More (patch.com) — Pottstown residents can look forward to a full October of local fun, from the Pottstown Fall Fest at SunnyBrook and the Spooktacular Bash at the Carousel to Halloween Fun at the FARM on High Street. Nearby Phoenixville and Boyertown add pumpkin patches, hayrides, and orchard activities, giving families plenty of close-to-home options all month long.
• Pottstown Cluster food pantry still operating despite fire (readingeagle.com) — Pottstown residents who rely on the Cluster of Religious Communities food pantry can still get help, even after a recent fire closed its main building on North Franklin Street. Services and hours remain the same but have shifted next door, while the nonprofit seeks donations and support and awaits word on whether it can repair or must replace its damaged facility.
• The 2026 races that could decide control of the Pennsylvania House and Senate (riverreporter.com) — Pottstown voters are part of a pivotal 24th state Senate District race that could help decide which party controls the Pennsylvania legislature and shapes policy on issues like wages, cannabis, and family leave. The article breaks down key competitive House and Senate districts statewide, explaining how both parties are targeting suburban and exurban seats similar to Pottstown's.
