Kicking off the summer? Ending the school year? It doesn’t matter because Boyertown Fun Days herald the start of summer.
This annual community favorite is three days of carnival rides, delicious food, great music, AND those heart stopping, hoof biting competitive races between Brittany Spear Ribs and Lady Hog Ga… to name just two of the little “hoggets” brought in by Roasire’s Royal Racing Pigs. It’s hilarious! It’s glorious!
No one seems to recall exactly when the first Fun Days were celebrated. Best guess according to the awesome ladies at Boro Hall, is that it became kind of an official “thing” during the mid- 1980’s. It is a home-grown celebration that has enough variety to appeal to both young and young at heart.
This year, watch for a change: faithful attendees will notice that instead of fireworks, Fun Days will culminate in a Laser Light Show choreographed to music.
It has been over forty years since a chemist job in Malvern lured Julie Cordingley away from her up state, New York home. She is a proud resident of Gilbertsville! Besides working in industry, she has been a stay-at-home mom, and has just recently retired from Phoenixville Area School District as a (wait for it!) chemistry teacher. It has been a life-long dream to be a writer. She figures she can work at that craft while also traveling with her husband in their drivable RV…a retirement present to herself!
