The flag ceremony at Northampton Days was extra-special this year for many local police, fire and emergency personnel, as well as servicemen and women.
A crowd gathered closely around the flagpole in front of Richboro Elementary School Sunday morning as officials led the annual flag-raising ceremony at Northampton Days. Except, this year, it wasn't so regular. Northampton Days fell on the tenth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, and the committee was determined to make it a special day and to not leave out that very important aspect of the day. In tribute to the almost 3,000 men, women and children who died in the attacks, several local emergency officials spoke at the ceremony, led by Tom Yaegal. Prominately displayed in front of the podium was the i-beam from the World Trade Center itself, an artifact acquired by Council Rock South's art department to later be turned into a sculpture …

Some events have been shifted around to accomodate the soggy fields resulting from the storms the past two weeks. The talent show will be moved indoors to Richboro Middle School's auditorium. Like the stage, several other outings that involve putting heavy equipment on over-saturated grass have been moved to pavement and parking lots. The Car Show will take place at the library and DJ Tony Dee will be situated over there as well. The minigolf station and the blood drive will be at the Senior Center, along with RGM Project big band. As of Wednesday evening the hayride was canceled, and several other activites …
