(Feature Appearance by Doylestown Native and NBC 10 Meteorologist Michelle Grossman)
The Hepatitis B Foundation sponsored the May 2, 2008 First Friday Doylestown in support of National Hepatitis Awareness Month for a third year.
The Foundation’s role in First Friday was to educate local community leaders, educators, business owners and residents that one in 20 individuals in the U.S. has been affected by hepatitis B. That means someone you know and love has been touched by the deadly virus. Hepatitis B Foundation staff and volunteers were on hand to speak to members of the public about their work. The Foundation tent featured Michelle Grossman NBC 10 Weather Plus Meteorologist; local singer/songwriters Christy Jefferson & Band and The Waltons; O’Liver, the Hepatitis B Foundation’s mascot; a display of Cold Spring Elementary School students’ artwork; hepatitis B literature for adults and youth and much more.
For the Foundation, First Friday Doylestown is an evening to educate the public and celebrate the arts. Doylestown establishments stayed open late to exhibit artwork from local artists and to enjoy the sounds of local musicians.

“We hold several major cultural events in Bolton, including the nationally renowned Bolton Food and Drink Festival, so it is important to share expertise to prioritise safety and security.

When I finally quit crawling and staring at shale, I had turned around to see this. I was completely astonished at how high I had climbed. If I was going to die, this wasn't a bad location.
I imagine the doomed cave in the picture was way, way up that steep slope on the left. I don't think its possible to ever reach it without some serious climbing gear.
Photos from the first day of rehearsal for the DCPA Theatre Company's upcoming production of "Smart People," by Lydia R. Diamond. This acclaimed new play is a biting comedy that follows a quartet of Harvard intellectuals struggling to understand why the lives of so many people – including their own – continue to be undermined by race. No matter how hard they research, question and confront the issue, their own problems with self-awareness make it difficult to face the facts of life. The cast includes Esther Chen, Timothy McCracken, Jason Veasey and Tatiana Williams. The director is Nataki Garrett. "Smart People" runs Oct. 13 through Nov. 19, 2017, in the Ricketson Theatre.
