Take Your Children on an Adventure This Columbus Day
Monday is Columbus Day, and students are off from school. Take your children on an adventure and make some memories at these local places open on Columbus Day.

I am the editor of the Perkiomen Valley and Limerick-Royersford-Spring City Patches.
I grew up in Souderton, and I have a degree in journalism from the University of Maryland.
I have been with Patch since August of 2012, and I love covering local news!
I live about 20 minutes away, but I spend most of my days (and a lot of my weekends) in the area.
I am most often found at Wegman's in Upper Providence, DaVinci's in Collegeville or the Lucky Lab in Royersford...but I'm always looking for new places to work...all I need is WiFi!
