Bucks County Dog Walks: An Interview With JC Sager
If you’ve been following along with our Photos Of The Week at Bucks Happening, you may have noticed the recurring photography of JC Sager, a local photographer with a love for dogs. His passion for photography is matched only by his passion for canines. He owns Bucks County Dog Walks in Yardley. According to BCDW’s website, they have a simple goal: to supply the most personal care and attention to their clients and their clients’ four legged friends. We recently sat down to talk with JC about his work with photography and dogs. After speaking with JC, we definitely think they’re reaching their goal.
Shad Fest Returns This Weekend
This weekend marks the 31st annual Shad Fest in Lambertville. The festival began in 1981 as a method of highlighting the great local art that Lambertville and New Hope have to offer. It coincided with the first blooms of Spring and the annual shad run. The festival has grown from a local celebration to an award-winning regional event.
OK, so first things first: What is a shad? The American Shad is the largest fish in the herring family. Every spring, shad migrate from salt water to fresh water to reproduce. Fishermen call this the “annual spring shad run.”
Shad Fest offers a fantastic variety of family, fun, art, food, culture, and (yes) shad. (It’s OK if you don’t like seafood, because there is a great variety of food at the fest!)
