A&T Chevrolet-Subaru Celebrates St. Patrick's Day with the Pennridge Chamber of Commerce

A little rain wasn't about to stop the festivities in store for the Pennridge Chamber of Commerce's first St. Patrick's Day Parade and Celtic Fest. 

We were happy to join in on the fun, driving Sellersville's Mayor Hufnagle, Perkasie's Mayor Hollenbach and State Rep. Staats along the route, which began in Sellersville and ended in Perkasie. 

 

Congratulations to everyone who worked very hard to make this event happen. See more photos from the parade here on the Pennridge Chamber of Commerce's Facebook page.

Ready, Set, Go! Perkasie Cub Scout Pack 196 Annual Pinewood Derby Racers Compete for Speed and Design

A few of the back roads were drifting with wind-blown snow but that didn’t deter the racers of Perkasie Cub Scout Pack 196 from gathering at Deep Run Presbyterian Church for the annual Pinewood Derby Friday, January 30th.

Nearly 40 scouts proudly showed off their racers, hoping to capture one of the several gleaming prizes being offered. From classic car designs to objects such as barbells, lemons, sneakers and Wii remotes, the creativity on display was amazing. 

On hand to judge the designs were three local auto industry professionals: Tom Mayberry, Collision Shop Manager of A&T Chevrolet-Subaru; Rob Ruggiero, Owner of Ruggiero’s Auto Body and Rob Kemmerer, Service Manager for Bucks County Auto Care. Each judge was tasked with choosing winners in three categories: Most Creative (Connor Smith), Best Workmanship (Dakota Leopold) and Coolest Car (Aidan Goodwin).

The main event – the race itself – took place with each car racing six times to determine whose racers were the three fastest. When the dust cleared the overall winner was Josh Lackner (Webelos Den), with Stephen Glaudel (Tiger Den) in second place and Ben McKay (Tiger Den) in third place.
