You know the old weather saying about March? It comes in like a lion, and out like a lamb? I think this year it may be the opposite!
Nevermind. Stay in the moment, enjoy the weather, eat some delicious local food and skip worrying about climate change for a weekend.
We’ve got a farm potluck, a warm cinnamon bun sale, firehouse breakfast and more ways to shop local.

Thursday, February 23, Friday, February 24 and Saturday, February 25 9 am – 3 pm, Central Bucks Senior Center, 700 N. Shady Retreat Rd., Doylestown, PA
Picture this: a warm, gooey cinnamon bun next to a piping hot cup of coffee (or tea). This could be your weekend breakfast if you stop by the Central Bucks Senior Center to pick up some of their fresh-baked cinnamon buns, handmade by the members of the center. You can enjoy the buns plain, with raisins or nuts, or both! Learn more about the sale here or call the center for more information.
The cinnamon bun sale has been going on at the center the last week of every month for at least 25 years. Here’s how these volunteers make 300 gooey, sweet and sticky buns in the morning.
