WEST CHESTER, PA — A West Chester resident and father of three, Paul Richards, is running the Pennsylvania arm of Zippy Lawnz — a robotic lawn mower company — out of his garage on Miner Street, with his front yard serving as a live demonstration space. A former technology writer, Richards recently published The New American Lawn, a book arguing that quiet, electric, autonomous mowing is a practical and overdue alternative to the gas-powered status quo. The company offers installations, service contracts, and free test mows for interested homeowners in Chester County. Find more info at www.zippylawnz.com

LIONVILLE, PA — Karen Slyman, a local historian and Uwchlan Township resident, will present a deep-dive into the history of the Lionville Historic District on June 14 at 2:00 p.m. The talk is part of the Uwchlan Township Historical Commission's Speaker Series and will be held at 715 N. Ship Road in Exton, inside the historic James Simpson General Merchandise building. Attendance is free with no registration required.

EAST BRANDYWINE TWP — East Brandywine Township's Summer Concert Series returns to East Brandywine Community Park with three free Thursday evening shows: an Elvis tribute on June 25, Chico's Vibe on July 9, and the Fabulous Greaseband on August 6. Food vendors open at 6:00 p.m. and music begins at 6:30. Rain dates are set for the following Monday of each event.

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — The Trades Alliance is bringing together local contractors, tradespeople, designers, and business owners for an informal evening of networking at one of Downingtown's familiar gathering spots.

The Summer Kickoff Happy Hour is set for Wednesday, June 11, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at The Borough in Downingtown. The event carries no formal agenda — it is intended as an easy, accessible opportunity for people working across the trades and design industries to meet, reconnect, and expand their professional circles in a relaxed setting.

For newer contractors or business owners still building their local networks, it offers a low-pressure entry point into the broader trades community in Chester County. For established professionals, it is a chance to catch up with peers before the demands of summer work make scheduling difficult.

The event is open to anyone in or around the trades.
