DOWNINGTOWN, PA — The Chester County Intermediate Unit hosted its annual Breakfast of Champions on Friday at the Downingtown Country Club, closing out the 2025-26 Chester County Academic Competition season. Competitors, coaches and sponsors gathered to mark months of weekly practices and matches, with remarks from Jay Della Ragione and Melissa Smith of the Intermediate Unit, along with Brielle Ridgeway of Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union, the event's premier sponsor.

The keynote came from Isaac Hirsch, a former quiz bowl competitor and multi-game "Jeopardy!" winner, who urged students to value the experience of competing over wins and losses and to stay open to new directions after graduation. The morning's awards recognized Brian Johnson of B. Reed Henderson High School as Coach of the Year, while the Howard M. Reinard Jr. Competitor of the Year Award went to Sidharth Muthiyattu Sumesh, also of B. Reed Henderson and his team's MVP. Valeria Wakeman of Octorara High School received the Heart of the Team award.

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — The Mediterranean fast-casual chain CAVA will preview its newest Downingtown location with a Community Day event on Thursday, May 21, at 1090 East Lancaster Avenue in Brandywine Square. From 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., the restaurant will offer free bowls or pitas to area residents ahead of its official grand opening, with guests required to register in advance for one of three time windows: lunch (10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.), midday (2 to 5 p.m.) or dinner (5 to 8 p.m.). Registration is limited to one meal per person, and each guest must present a digital ticket.

The event also doubles as a fundraiser for Meals on Wheels of Chester County, a nonprofit that provides meals and regular contact to homebound adults across the region. CAVA has pledged to match donations up to $1,000, with the funds also supporting the diversion of surplus food to residents experiencing food insecurity.

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — East Caln Township officials are alerting drivers to upcoming lane restrictions on Bell Tavern Boulevard as part of the municipality's ongoing stormwater repair project. The restrictions will be in place on Monday, May 18, and Tuesday, May 19, weather permitting, along the segment of Bell Tavern Boulevard between Route 113 and Bell Tavern Road. Crews will be repaving and repairing portions of the road previously affected by stormwater infrastructure work. Motorists traveling through the area are encouraged to use caution and plan ahead for short delays during the two-day window.

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — Meg Kuhnle, founder of Mega Thrive Coaching out of the Downingtown area, recently joined Jenny Leigh on the Good to Know in Chester County podcast for a conversation that a lot of moms around here needed to hear. A Unionville High School grad and two-sport collegiate athlete, Meg combines personal training and life coaching to help moms feel strong, grounded, and supported — no matter what stage of motherhood they're in.
