Earth Hour

Noticed that our front page of the web site is black. We are showing our support for the tonights Earth Hour! While the rest of Skippack and the surrounding Philadelphia Area is not involved in Earth Hour. We our. The Coffeehaus will be black with all non-essential electrics and electronics turned off for the evening. We will be at home between 8-9PM with candles lit and sitting outside enjoying the night sky!

Coming in April! Acoustic Song Circle

The idea of the jam & song circle is primarily to have fun. On April 9th, Rochelle Nordmann and friends will bring an acoustic song circle to Skippack Village. Join us at 7PM to experience our first song circle.

SONG CIRCLE is a traditional, relaxed way to share time, fun, art, and community. Acoustic instruments of all kinds are encouraged, but not necessary if you simply love to sing. No one dominates, but anyone
may lead the group in song or entertain when it is their turn.

Going Ape by David Butler

For a while now we have had a ape ("Going Ape")gracing our walls, and now he is gone. David Butler the artist has moved the ape on to bigger and better walls. The ape was located behind the musicians as they played. To say farewell we have written this poem:

Hanging so Tall.
