This weekend, you won’t be rude when you tell your friends to go take a hike! 🌳 We were thrilled to hear about the recent reopening of @tylerarboretum’s 11.5 miles of trails. It took hard work and a large financial investment to clean up the damage caused by the invasive emerald ash borer. Thankfully, the Arboretum is ready to welcome guests back for adventures among the spring ephemerals. 👟 We hope you will come out and support this #Delco treasure!

Have you tried @cakeadifference? This #Delco home-based bakery was founded by Laurie Moyer, past public school teacher turned baker with a mission to make it easy deliver tasty treats directly to schools. Even better? A percentage of the purchase is donated right back to the school you deliver to, and Moyer employs other stay-at-home parents creating flexible, rewarding part-time jobs. 🤩
Check out Laurie`s story (link in bio ⤴️) and learn how the business has grown to include classes, public workshops and new locations in Delaware County. We think you will be as impressed as we are with this Delco success story!
