UPCOMING EVENTS

Postponed- Filming the movie REMORSE. A new cast has been signed for the movie, but funding is needed.

July 26th - Moonlight Memories in Hatboro  Member Pat Stayt came with her son and his 1966 big block V8 Plymouth Belvedere.  Member Chelsea Smith brought her Pontiac Firebird.  The town was shut down to traffic and we had a good time gawking at all the neat cars.  We distributed a flyer on the restoration project to all car owners.  Thanks Pat.

August 16th - (Note date change) Fourth Annual HPHA Barbecue and Corn Boil.  At the Penrose-Strawbridge House.  Free for HPHA members and their families.  We have also invited our sponsors, donors, volunteers and supporters.  The Horsham Paranormal Society will be there to display information about unusual activities detected at the house.  Games, prizes and a tractor for rides.  The sweet corn should be at its best. 

September/October - We hope to have a presentation on barns.
