Escaped Mini Horse in Chester County Adopted by Responding Officer

WEST GOSHEN TWP — A miniature horse named April escaped from a Chester County rescue and roamed several miles before ending up behind the West Goshen Police Station. Officers were able to gently corral her and bring her to safety. Sergeant Ted Lewis, one of the responding officers, bonded with the horse and later decided to adopt her, giving April a permanent home on a farm connected to his family. Though she still requires treatment for a minor facial injury, her future now looks bright and secure.

Art in the Park Returns to Caln Municipal Park This Summer

CALN TWP — This summer, Caln Township is inviting families to enjoy creativity in the great outdoors through Art in the Park, a free community art program hosted by the township’s Parks and Recreation department. The series will be held on select evenings from June to August at Caln Municipal Park. Open to all ages, the event features rotating art activities designed to inspire self-expression and appreciation for the natural surroundings. Adult supervision is required for children, but no registration is necessary. A special edition of the event will take place during National Night Out on August 5. The initiative is supported by One For All, which aims to foster community engagement through the arts.
