Happy Sunday! We hope you’re having a lazy morning and reading this with a nice cup of coffee (or tea).
But if you’re already wide awake and in the mood to see (or taste!) some new things in Bucks, scroll straight to the second half.
❤️ Local Heart
Revivals Thrift Shop in Perkasie has become known for neighborly support. The shop (opened on an old industrial site) isn’t just about second-hand finds. It was launched specifically to fund local outreach programs and revitalize the neighborhood.
Since its opening, local residents have rallied to stock the shelves with high-quality donations. And all proceeds go directly back into community driven non-profit efforts to help neighbors in financial need.
We love good neighbors!
🤔 Did You Know?
In 1971 (when the Apollo 14 mission headed for the moon) astronaut Stuart Roosa carried a canister of about 500 seeds from various trees. These seeds orbited the moon 34 times (though never actually touched the lunar surface).
After returning to Earth, the seeds were germinated by the Forest Service. One of those “Moon Trees” (a Sycamore) was planted right here in Core Creek Park in 1976 to celebrate the Bicentennial.
Many of these trees were forgotten or lost to history because NASA didn’t keep detailed records of where they all went. It wasn’t until a third-grade teacher started a “Moon Tree Hunt” in the 90s that the Core Creek Sycamore was officially rediscovered and identified as a lunar traveler.
If you’re a space (or history) fan you can still visit it today near the park’s main office.
