Q:  Why did the scarecrow win an award? 
A: He was outstanding in his field! 

South Ardmore neighbors, what kind of scarecrow will you make this year? 

Build your own scarecrow with materials lying around the house: an old button-down shirt, pants, gloves, plastic milk container, stockings, plastic bag. Old newspaper or leaves make ideal stuffing. Old broomsticks work well as a scarecrow frame, or sit your scarecrow down on an old chair or bike. Be creative! Your scarecrow can be scary, classic, or have its own theme. Or maybe you'll make a scarecrow family! Scarecrow-making tutorials can be found online if you need some ideas.  See last year's winners HERE. 

To join the contest, submit your information HERE by OCT 31.

Check back here to vote on this year's winners! Winners will receive gift cards to local businesses, plus bragging rights. Can't wait to see your scarecrow!

Bodega Neighborhood Night is coming to South Ardmore on Wed 10/28!

Bryn Mawr's Bodega by La Cabra restaurant is offering pre-orders and deliveries to neighborhoods throughout the area as part of their Bodega Neighborhood Nights initiative, and we thought South Ardmore should get in on the fun!

Place your order HERE by Mon 10/26. 

Pre-orders can then be picked up anytime between 5pm and 6:30pm (no timed slots) on Wed 10/28 on Normandy Road next to Normandy Park (look for the restaurant van and tent).  Take a sneak peak at the menu below and think about what you and yours might want to order for dinner for this mid-week pick-me-up!

Note: This is a food pick-up event, not an invitation to gather in groups at the park. Social distancing and masks are expected if you are waiting in line with other neighbors. You are welcome to eat at the park by yourself or with your family if you'd like (weather permitting), responsibly.
