SoulJoel’s to Host

Philly Cheesesteak Festival

A new food event is coming to Pottstown as SoulJoel’s at SunnyBrook hosts the first-ever Greater Philadelphia Cheesesteak Festival on Sunday, April 26 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The festival will celebrate one of the region’s most iconic foods, bringing together cheesesteak vendors from across the Delaware Valley for a day dedicated entirely to the local favorite. In addition to cheesesteaks, attendees can enjoy donuts, water ice, soft pretzels and live music, creating a full Philadelphia-themed experience.

Each ticket costs $40 and includes five sample tickets, which can be used to try cheesesteaks from participating vendors. Additional food and beverages, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, will be available for purchase.

The event will take place at 50 Sunnybrook Road and will feature free parking and a full bar. Organizers note that all ticket sales are final and non-refundable.

Billed as a celebration rather than a competition, the festival aims to bring together food lovers for a shared appreciation of the region’s signature dish.

Lower Pottsgrove Easter Egg Hunt

Set for Saturday

Lower Pottsgrove Township is preparing for its upcoming community Easter Egg Hunt, set to take place this Saturday, with organizers encouraging families to come out and enjoy a day of seasonal fun.

The Easter Bunny will be in attendance, adding to the festivities, which will include treats, activities and opportunities for families to celebrate together. With sunny weather in the forecast, organizers are expecting a strong turnout, though attendees are encouraged to dress warmly.

For younger participants, the egg hunt area for ages 3 to 4 will be clearly marked with pink ribbon to help guide families.

In addition, the Pottsgrove Soccer Club will have a snack stand open during the event, offering refreshments for attendees.

Sánchez Dominates as Phillies

Top Rangers on Opening Day

The Philadelphia Phillies opened the season with a 5-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Thursday, powered by a dominant outing from Cristopher Sánchez and home runs from Kyle Schwarber and Alec Bohm.

Sánchez struck out 10 batters over six shutout innings, allowing just three hits and no walks in his first start since signing a long-term contract extension. The left-hander kept Texas off balance throughout his outing and exited to a standing ovation.

Philadelphia’s offense provided early support. Schwarber launched a two-run home run in the first inning, while Bohm added a three-run homer in the fifth, extending the Phillies’ lead to 5-0.

The Rangers mounted a late rally, highlighted by a two-run homer in the ninth, but the Phillies held on, calling on their closer to secure the win.

Rookie Justin Crawford also made an impression in his major league debut, recording two hits.

The victory gives Philadelphia a strong start to the season as they continue their series against Texas.
