Perkasie Pride Recipients

At the Monday, June 21st public meeting, Borough Council voted 7-0 in favor of awarding five homeowners with the prestigious Perkasie Pride award.

The "Perkasie Pride Award" was established by the Mayor and Borough Council to recognize up to five properties within the Borough that have made a significant contribution to beautifying the town.  Here is a list of the award recipients (in no particular order):

Edward & Nancy Snyder, 818 West Callowhill Street
Scott & Bonnie Gehman, 2 South 7th Street
Dennis Walters, 911 Arch Street
Joseph Hartz, 501 Vine Street
Linda McDowell, 809 North 7th Street

The improvements, restoration and/or beautification recognized by the award did not necessarily have to occur within the calendar year that the award is given. 

Awards will be made at Pennridge Community Day, July 11, 2010. 

Any person may nominate a building or property for consideration for the Award by contacting the Mayor, any Council member or the Borough Office at 215-257-5065.  Such nominations should be received by the Borough, along with a brief paragraph describing the improvements. It is asked that nominees include any historical information about the buildings so that information can be preserved for the record. 

Borough Council will select five properties to receive plaques.  Once nominated, a property would remain in nomination for subsequent years.  

The Mayor and Council will award a wall plaque suitable for outdoor display.  This plaque is approximately 7 inches in diameter and contains the words "PERKASIE PRIDE AWARD", the date the award is given and is embossed with the Perkasie Hickory Nut Tree.  The plaque also shows the year the building was constructed.
