As a child, I have distinct memories of my grandparents & parents in daily conversation with neighbors over our backyard fence. The sharing of the day's news over that old fence has now been replaced by the telephone & internet. I give my wistful acknowledgement & a tip of the hat to that long gone time, & open this blog for the neighbors of the Phoenixville area to communicate on just about any subject that comes to mind. Welcome to my backyard fence, where the gate is always open!

Phoenixville's 4th of July!
I'm sure you'll join in my kudos to D & M for the fantastic 4th of July fireworks show in Phoenixville last night! The 35 minute extravaganza leading up to the explosive finale was rivaled by the thunderous applause and unrestrained cheers of appreciation from the crowd gathered at Friendship Field!
Thank you, D & M!
I also want to take this opportunity to once again thank our sponsors, Phoenixville Federal Bank and Trust, Phoenixville Hospital, the Phoenixville Jaycees, Susquehanna Bank, Petrucci's, Tracy Wilke, Lowes, the Phoenixville Area Business Association, Kendrick Buckwalter, the Michaels, and our numerous private donors.
Our volunteers who worked on fundraising for the fireworks event deserve a big hug the next time you see them! Courtney Harvey, Stephanie Pontin, Kristen Caperila and family, Pam Gates, Bryana Gates, Kayla Johns, Cami Johns, Sandy and Joe Horvath, Michael Hill and Tony Reily. Job well done! Thank you!
A heartfelt thank you goes to all the Phoenixville Borough Streets Department employees, as well as the Police, Fire Department, and Public Works Director Brian Watson, each who took time away from family and friends over the holiday to work making the event a flawless and safe venue for all our residents. Your attention to detail and your presence under such extreme heat conditions was incredible. Thank you!
Thanks also go out to our wonderful vendors who provided much appreciated food and refreshments for the crowd!
In this wrap of the 14th annual 4th of July Phoenixville Fireworks event I want to say God Bless our troops for their service to our country, and God Bless each and every one of you!
I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July!
