Westchester Chamber Seeks Registrations for Tyke Trike Race on August 8

A new ice cream shop is set to shake up West Chester's culinary scene, as local business owner expands his offerings beyond pizza and cheesesteaks. Residents are excited about the prospect of enjoying affordable ice cream, with one community member noting, "I’m going to have to stop spending $16 for a quart of Kilwin's every Friday."

In addition to the sweet treat news, the Borough Council meeting highlighted upcoming community events, including a unique tyke trike race scheduled for August 8. The Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Foundation are actively seeking adult participants for this fun event, which promises to bring a lively atmosphere to the Sixth Ward. One council member humorously noted the potential for "libations" along the route, ensuring a festive spirit.

The Chester County Visitor Center also received praise during the meeting. A council member shared their positive experience exploring the center, which offers a wealth of information about local attractions, including biking trails and wineries. They emphasized the need for improved signage to help more residents discover this valuable resource.

Lastly, the council reminded the community about National Night Out, an annual event promoting police-community partnerships, taking place on August 5 at Henderson High School. This free event will feature activities for families, including bounce houses and vendor displays, encouraging residents to come out and connect with local services.

As West Chester gears up for these exciting events and new business ventures, community engagement remains a focal point for the Borough Council, fostering a vibrant and connected atmosphere for all residents.
