5 Fun Things To Do This Weekend In Bucks County

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — May went by pretty fast as we kicked off the "unofficial" summer season and move right into the June swoon of soaring temperatures. Those thoughts bring beaches to mind as many of us will start our annual trek to the Jersey Shore.

But the sand is even closer here in Bucks County.

At Peddler's Village in Lahaska, "Safari in Sand" is taking place this weekend. There are also car and arts shows, and an opportunity to pick up some gardening tips. And if you have kids, go see Elmo and company at Sesame Place.

These are some of the events planned for this weekend in Bucks County:
