New Hope, PA Restaurant Week-March 21st-26th
Restaurant Week, March 21st-26th – New Hope
The Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce has pulled together 17 restaurants in the local community for the first ever New Hope Restaurant Week. The event begins Sunday, March 21 and runs through Friday, March 26. The special includes a three- course, (prix-fixe) meal at any of the participating vendors for only $29.95.
The town’s people hope local and tourist diners take advantage of the promotion and patronize additional businesses in the historic river community. “We are thrilled to have received such great enthusiasm from our local restaurateurs,” said Carol Ann Della Penna, chamber spokeswoman. “New Hope is home to many of Bucks County’s finest restaurants, making this a rare opportunity to taste exceptional cuisine at an exceptional value.”
Sponsors of the week include E&J Gallo Winery, Effen Vodka, Stella Artois, National Penn Bank and Bucks Life Magazine.

Doylestown, Pa – Bucks County – The Great Toy Exchange
The Great Toy Exchange will be held Saturday, January 9, 2010 at 8am to 10am. Located at Superior Woodcraft’s Showroom, 160 North Hamilton Street, Doylestown, PA.
Every parent knows how quickly children develop and move on to new toys. Every parent also knows that the older toys develop into clutter and new toys are costly. This is where The Great Toy Exchange can help. The Great Toy Exchange is a way for parents to exchange their children’s toys that are no longer age appropriate or played with by their child for other toys that are age appropriate and will interest their child. The Great Toy Exchange will help you reduce clutter, save money and provide your child with new and different experiences to help with their development and interests.
How – Simply bring your clean, unbroken and generally good conditioned toys to The Great Toy Exchange. Place them in the area of estimated value. Then review the other toys at The Exchange and select toys that are of the approximate value to what you contributed. Parents will be using the honor system and The Great Toy Exchange is free a program open to the community; so please always apply the golden rule.
Specifics – The Great Toy Exchange will only accept clean, unbroken, reasonably used toys that have not been subject to any recalls. Stuffed toys will not be accepted. Toys with fabric might not be accepted. Toys that are dropped off and have not been chosen can be picked up at 10 am at The Great Toy Exchange during the day of the exchange. Any toys remaining after 10 am on the day of the exchange will be donated to charity. Neither The Great Toy Exchange nor Superior Woodcraft, Inc. provide any claims, warranties, or guaranties concerning the quality or safety of the toys that are part of the exchange. Parents should contact the toy manufacturer directly concerning any quality, safety or other concerns pertaining to a toy. The Great Toy Exchange is a non-profit community service program provided & administered by Superior Woodcraft, Inc. for the benefit of the families and children in our community. Neither The Great Toy Exchange nor Superior Woodcraft receives any monetary, financial or other similar benefit from The Great Toy Exchange.
If possible please leave children at home. For more information visit, http://www.superiorwoodcraft.com/ or email me for information.
