Local butterflies, World Cup goals and state champs
Sending this to you from Atlanta. Because sadly my full time job is not exploring our county. This is day 2 here and I’m already homesick. Though truly hoping today’s fajita bar solves that 💃
Even 800 miles away, the good news home has to offer is still on my mind. Let’s get to it!
Neshaminy reaches the mountaintop
Neshaminy brought home its first ever state baseball championship.
But the journey wasn’t exactly low stress. The Skins punched their ticket to the finals by edging rival Pennsbury 2-1 in a semifinal that likely sent local cardiologists into a very strong quarter. The heart palpitations were real.
They followed that up by taking down Butler at Penn State to finish the job. For at least one glorious season, PA baseball runs through Lower Bucks.
The butterflies have returned
One of Buckingham’s favorite summer traditions is back. Bountiful Acres reopened its butterfly atrium this week.
Meaning you can wander through a cloud of monarchs while pretending you’re in a nature documentary narrated by David Attenborough.
The best part? It doesn’t cost anything to visit. The worst part? Convincing your kids it’s time to leave.
A local company is headed to the Cup
The World Cup is going to show off the biggest soccer stars on the planet. And when they score, it’ll be into goals with a Bucks County connection.
Quakertown based Kwik Goal was selected to provide the goalposts, netting and training equipment for the tournament. It’s the kind of random fact that instills pride and helps you win trivia night at the bar.
No rain delays here
The River Crossing YMCA has soft opened its new indoor sports center in Doylestown. This creates more space for youth clinics, community programs and adult basketball leagues.
Local athletes now have one less reason to obsessively refresh the weather app on game day. Your jump shot, however, remains solely your responsibility.
I’ll be attending a Braves game tonight against my will. Unless it (oh no) gets rained out. In which case, I’m heading back to the hotel early to watch the Phils 😤
Enjoy your Tuesday and I’ll be back in time for the weekend!
May you find a way to mention our World Cup goalposts in casual conversation,
Cait, From Bucks
