9 Things You Gotta Do in Bucks County This Weekend (March 9 – 11)

Okay. It’s all my fault. Last week I mentioned how happy I was that it was March. I actually wrote, “We’ll probably get a March snow storm” but the “end is in sight.” (sigh) Now I’m staring out the window at nearly a foot of snow. But…the lights are (still) on and we are warm, which is more than I can say for earlier this week.

So, what’s there to do this weekend, besides shovel and/or watch snow melt? Lots! Read on and find something tasty to do.

1Knights of Columbus Lenten Supper

Fri, March 9, 5 – 7 pm
St Vincent de Paul Church Hall

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Even if you don’t abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent, the traditional community Lenten dinner is always fun. Come enjoy homemade soups, salad, mac n’cheese, breads, desserts and beverages, all served by the Knights of Columbus Raymond V. Hennessy Council #6145 (based in Newtown). A good will donation is requested, which will benefit the Poor Clare Sisters Langhorne Monastery.

2Fish Fry
