We're back! We were delayed last week due to the wild derecho that left most of our crew without power!
Chester County has moved to yellow which means things are changing around here. Businesses are slowly starting to reopen and people are coming out of their homes. These changes have a big effect on our town, so this episode we are talking to people around town who are helping to make this transition successful and leaders who have helped guide us through the last few months. Special guests include Joan Cadigan of PCEF, Joan Moore & Keely Wrigley of Lulu Boutique and Gifterie, Michal Kortsarts of the Colonial Theatre, and Mayor Peter Urscheler.
School is also out for summer so that means the COVID Chronicles is going to take a break for a while. See you in September!

They'll end up with the Lockdown Lowdown when the kids dish on how they really feel about online school.
