As the weather warms up and we approach the start of Summer, Tacony is really coming alive with community events! Just this week, we were excited to attend the Tacony Historical Society Spring Meeting on May 13th and get an update on their projects (big things coming to Disston Park soon!), followed by a Job Fair hosted at the Tacony Library on May 14th. Both of these events saw great turnout; it's always exciting to see people of all ages interested in learning about and improving the Tacony neighborhood! Even more events are popping up in Tacony in the next few weeks, read on for more details.
