The Groundhog may have said six more weeks of winter, but I'm cold, and I'm bored, and I'm thinking ahead to warm weather, spring and summer.
If you Daytrippers, Weekend Warriors, and Staycationers are looking for something really different (and SO "Bucks County") to do, I have the perfect thing for you, beginning in May. A Polo Match!
You and your family or a group of friends can catch a real Polo March at Tinicum Park in Upper Bucks County every Saturday from May through September. You'll be amazed as the horses thunder past you, you'll learn what a Chukka is, you'll meet the ponies and the players, and you and your friends can do a divot stomp at halftime.
Parking costs $10 and you can pull right up to the sidelines and set up a tent, some chairs, or a blanket with a picnic lunch. And for someone like me who lives in yoga pants; or Richard who lives in tee-shirts and jeans, it's a fabulous excuse to wear polo shirts and pearls!
Tinicum Park Polo Club will celebrate its 25 anniversary this year. Numerous events are planned for the 2018 season to mark the occasion, including a Black Tie Gala, special tournaments, and a Wine and Polo Event. Opening day is May 25th, and the rest of the schedule is here. Richard and I had such a fun afternoon when we went, and I'd love to go back with a larger group this season!

the party" ~ Kate Reardon
