Harvest Day Like 'Christmas' For Yardley Councilman's Daughter

YARDLEY, PA —The 54th annual Harvest Day drew praise from borough officials and organizers with one council member recalling the excitement of the event by his daughter.

"My daughter said it's her second favorite day next to Christmas," Councilman Matt Curtin said. "It's a big day for the borough."

Crowds flooded the event Saturday though organizers or borough officials did not reveal any attendance figures.

Councilman David Appelbaum, a member of the Harvest Day committee, thanked the police department and staff for their work in putting the event together and Pennsbury students who stayed to clean up and collect trash.
