Hey Phoenixville,

Earth Day is coming this Wednesday, April 22nd and in honor of mother earth, here are 3 Earth facts that you didn't know you needed.

  • Coral reefs are Earth's largest living structures.

  • The Atacama Desert in South America is the driest place on Earth.

  • Earth has an estimated 370 quintillion gallons of water. That's approximately 560 trillion Olympic sized swimming pools.

This is one of those weeks where you could do something different every single night without repeating yourself. Live music on Saturday, Record Store Day is back at Bistro on Bridge, the Farmers' Market is rolling, and the Colonial has everything from Marty Stuart to a Werner Herzog classic on the big screen. And if you just want to stay close to home with the kids, there is an Earth Day festival at Reservoir Park that is hard to beat.

Here's what's happening.

Earth Day Phoenixville is back at Reservoir Park on Saturday, April 18. It kicks off at noon and it's one of the best family days of the year. Local vendors, food, live music, kids' activities, and a whole lot of neighbors out enjoying the park. It's free, it's easy, and it promises to be a good time

Business Spotlight

 

For this week's business spotlight, I want to shine a light on the humble Phoenixville Library. I've always been passionate about public libraries. When I lived in Utah and went back to school, I spent hours at the local public library, and I really believe they're a valuable but often underutilized public service.

Fun fact: did you know your library card can get you access to over 20 museums and popular attractions around Philadelphia?

Second fun fact: did you know that approximately 16% of the Phoenixville Library's revenue came from acting as a passport processing facility? Unfortunately, due to a decision at the federal level, nonprofit (non-governmental) public libraries were ordered to stop acting as passport facilities. This meant the Phoenixville Library had to shut down its passport operations.

The library is a vital public resource, so show your support by attending library events, volunteering your time, and taking advantage of the amazing resources the library has to offer.

Your Dog Deserves Better Than Mystery Kibble

Most kibble is cooked at extreme temperatures that strip out the nutrients your dog actually needs. Your dog deserves better than that.

Spot & Tango's UnKibble is the only human-grade dog food that delivers all the benefits of fresh food without taking up fridge space. Made with USDA-grade meats, plus fresh fruits and vegetables, then gently dried at low temps to lock in up to 99% of nutrients. As vets say: "This is the food dogs were born to eat."

It's pantry-friendly, delivered to your door, and comes with a personalized scoop sized to your dog's exact needs. No guesswork, no prep, no refrigeration.

350,000+ dog parents have already made the switch — and 87% saw health improvements in their pup after switching.

A little gift your dog deserves. Try it risk-free with a 14-day money-back guarantee and get 60% off with code DESERVES60
