The âBeepingâ Egg Hunt Returns: The Newtown Rotary Club and Montgomery County Bomb Squad are prepping for this Saturdayâs âBeepingâ Egg Hunt at Goodnoe Elementary. The bomb squad provides specialized audible eggs so that children who are blind or visually impaired can join the hunt by sound. Itâs a local favorite proving innovation can be just as sweet as Easter candy.
A âFreedom Through Affordabilityâ Push: Local Rep Joe Hogan helped launch a major legislative package today at the Capitol. The initiative (called âAffordability Starts Hereâ) proposes immediate 6 month tax cuts and sales tax holidays on essentials like groceries and fuel. The core idea is combatting the rising cost of living for families in the region. Amen to that.
Warning Over âViral Pranksâ: Maybe my childhood isnât dead just yet? Ding-dong-ditch is making a comeback. Sort of. Except now police in Warrington issued a formal alert regarding a spike in âsocial media-inspired ding-dong ditch pranksâ. While it sounds like relatively harmless old-school âfunâ, the social media effect is (probably not surprisingly) ruining it. Authorities say these modern versions often involve trespassing and filming residents without consent. Not cool, kids, not cool.
â¤ď¸ Local Heart: A âGreenâ Legend Honored
Big congratulations are in order for Mike Feeney, owner of the iconic Feeneyâs Wholesale Nursery in Buckingham. He was officially awarded the 2026 Distinguished Service Award. Feeney has spent over 40 years growing his 55-acre farm into a 325-acre staple of the community. Beyond selling plants, heâs been a huge advocate for land conservation and local beautification through his work with Bucks Beautiful. We appreciate you Mike, congrats!
đĄLocal Hack: The Libraryâs Secret Museum Pass
If you want to feel like a VIP without the price tag, hereâs an insider tip: The Museum Pass Program.
Instead of paying $15â$30 for tickets to the Mercer Museum, Fonthill Castle, or even the Michener Art Museum, you can check out a physical or digital pass from your local Bucks County Free Library branch.
The Secret: These passes often allow admission for up to 4 people for free.
The Pro Move: Log into the library website exactly at midnight or early in the morning on the day they become available to reserve them for popular weekends. Itâs the easiest way to take a âstaycationâ and see the countyâs world-class architecture for exactly 0 dollars.
