Willow Grove 300 Broadcasts Historical Presentations
From this week through October, the Willow Grove 300 Committee will broadcast its Historical Presentation Series.
For those who were unable to attend one or any of the historical presentation series film screenings, which took place during the Willow Grove Tricentennial celebration from April to June, history will now repeat itself.
"People who are interested in finding more about the history of Willow Grove will be intersted in seeing these," Richard Booth, Willow Grove 300 committee member said.
Starting this week, broadcasts of the historical film series may be seen twice a day for two weeks.
