Newtown Market Day

Those of us who live in Bucks County, know what a great town Newtown is.  If you are in the area this Saturday, September 13th, I highly recommend that you visit Newtown, and enjoy Newtown's market day.

Market day is a fabulous, fun event, offering colonial style crafts, music, dance, children's activities, games, and hayrides.  Many area restaurants and businesses take part in this wonderful festival.  Parts of State Street, which is the main street through Newtown, is closed, so that vendors can set up displays, and event goers can safely wander through town.  The event runs from 10:00 too 4:00, with the rain date being Sunday, the 14th.

Newtown is a quaint, charming and historic town.  The town dates back to 1684, where, according to historians, William Penn's surveyor, Thomas Holme, devised a plan to for a new settlement he initially called, "New Township".  Eventually the name was shortened to Newtown.
