Frankford As Seen by Joe Menkevich

Joe Menkevich channels the ghosts of our past.  He is so steeped in historical research, that at times when you see him describe what he has discovered, it appears that he is actually watching the scene take place as it happened.  You can see him at this link Imagining Frankford.

The slide show below was compiled by Joe and it entirely his work.  My contribution was the titles at the bottom and I hope they are close to accurate.

Overington Park Fall Festival 2012

This past Saturday, October 20th, Friends of Overington Park held our annual Fall Festival. The weather was perfect, crisp air, falling leaves, a beautiful day in our park.

We had a big crowd, a good mix of adults and children. Little ones romped through the straw patch to find their pumpkin, faces were painted by the good folks from Grace Alone Church, ‘Operation Glow In The Dark’ puppeteer preformed to a laughing audience, and apple cider, ginger snaps, and pretzels were served.


 

Treat bags filled with goodies were handed out, and our seasonal worker, Lisa, an Overington park Friend, designed wonderful games for everyone to play and enjoy.

Little ones showed up in costume as well as all the adult Friends of Overington Park! We were truly blessed with a day filled with fun, laughs, and gathering of the community, sharing the true treasure that is Overington Park.

Thanks for all the support given to Overington, it means a lot, Diane Kunze, president, Friends of Overington Park
