COMMUNITY
|
Upper Merion Township is a donation site for Feel The Warmth's Children's Coat and/or Holiday Toy Drive again. Boxes are located in the lobby of the Township Building. Thank you for your donation.
Welcome Signs Tweaked
The six "Welcome to King of Prussia" gateway signs are more colorful, thanks to the KOP-Bid. The NEW day/night vinyl is perforated, which allows them to appear black in the day but in color at night. Also, new energy-efficient LED lights were installed that enable KOP-BID to change the colors periodically for holidays, themed months, and other events.
Sensory Friendly Christmas
This concert is designed for the special needs community and for families with young children. Please join us on Saturday, December 19, at 2:00 PM at the Valley Forge Presbyterian Church ((191 Town Center Road, King of Prussia. For tickets call 484-393-2832 or visit ValleyForgeChorale.org.

A warm and heartfelt thank you to Township residents Rob DeFelice, Lydia and Neil Sardines, and Eric Huhn who volunteered their time to helping the Parks and Recreation Department pull off another great Holiday Hoopla on December 4! All of you played an integral part in the set-up of the event. Rob D put the final lighting touches on the tree and Atrium to really brighten up the event!
