Statement Regarding Halloween in Mayfair
The Mayfair Civic Association held discussions on Tuesday, October 30th, and concluded that Sandy's impact on the Neighborhood will not have any affect on the status of Halloween.
"We understand the concerns of neighborhood parents regarding the safety of the children, however to coordinate spreading the word about delaying the Halloween trick-or-treating to those who either don't use or don't have access to Social Media platforms, is a difficult task on such short notice. Parents should exercise their own judgement regarding the safety of certain streets when it comes to their children trick or treating."
"Halloween is on." *
Mayfair Civic Association spoke with PECO and expects all power to be restored by Wednesday Morning, at the latest, and cited no safety hazards in town that would prevent children from trick-or-treating. Most people that lost power in Mayfair were restored early Tuesday afternoon. Avoid areas where tree collapses have occurred.
All power should be restored, and tree damage has been minimal and isolated. We are saying it’s still on. We don’t see why we wouldn’t have Trick-or-Treating.
* If Government Officials issue a directive/schedule change, we will update this post. Parents are free to schedule their own events.
Recommendations for Costumes:
• Costumes should be bright-colored or have reflective tape to highlight them.
• As much of the costume as possible, should be labeled flame-retardant.
• The eye holes on masks should be large enough to see through clearly.
• Keep costumes short and form-fitting from the knee down, to avoid getting caught under feet and causing slipping or falling.
• Children should wear sturdy shoes and temperature appropriate clothing underneath their costumes. Most of already missed a couple days of school due to "Sandra".
Trick-or-Treating:
• Children should be accompanied by an adult. It's best to take smaller children out earlier in the evening.
• If older children are going out unaccompanied, go over the ground rules first! They must travel in a group, and an adult should know which neighborhoods they will be in.
• Carry a flash light or glow stick to increase visibility to drivers.
• Only trick-or-treat in familiar areas that are well lit. Only approach houses where the outside lights are on as a signal of welcome.
Pedestrian Safety:
• Cross streets at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.
• Always walk, don't run, when crossing streets.
• Make eye contact with drivers and watch for cars that are turning or backing up.
Tips for Motorists:
• Be especially alert. Remember that popular trick-or-treating hours are during the typical rush-hour period.
• Drive more slowly and anticipate heavier than usual pedestrian traffic.
• Be sure to drive with your full headlights on so you can spot children from greater distances.
• Tap the horn to let Pedestrians know you are there.
Happy Halloween !!!

Please join us on Sunday, November 18th, 2012 (Rain Date – Sunday, November 25th) from Noon to 3:00 for our 36th stroll down "The Ave"!
We want to celebrate our community and all of the local business who have been the financial backbone of our neighborhood. Many generations have come to the avenue for this fun filled family event each fall whether they still live here, or have since moved away.
This year we have made a few exciting changes!
Since our parade route travels along three different neighborhoods, we found it only fitting to ask the Presidents of those the three neighboring Civic Associations to be our Grand Marshals this year. We are honored to have Rich Frizell, President of the Holmesburg Civic Association, Joe DeFelice, President of the Mayfair Civic Association, and Mary Benussi, President of the Tacony Civic Association as our three Grand Marshals. These three individuals do an outstanding job of uniting our neighborhoods behind common causes to protect the neighborhood, working to bring in projects or events that have a positive impact on our citizens, and are tirelessly dedicated to the betterment of the community. It was with that thought in mind that we chose this year theme to be - "Neighborhood Unity"!

PENNYPACK CREEK BRIDGE
Built circa 1697 at a Lenape Indian trail crossing, it is the oldest roadway bridge in continuous use in the nation. The tri-arch stone span was an important link on the King's Highway, one of America's oldest roads. It served American and French combined forces on the march to Yorktown, known as the Rochambeau Route, in 1781. The only major modification to the bridge was widening in 1893; the upstream side is essentially unchanged from the original.
