A Saturday in each

Perkasie

  • Country Place Restaurant: Family-owned restaurant and bar that's been at it in Perkasie for 50 years, with a menu that ranges from steaks and seafood to baked ziti.
  • Threddies: A Perkasie shop that's been making scrunchies and hair elastics in 20-plus colors since 1999, sold at wholesale-to-the-public prices.
  • Menlo Aquatics Center: Perkasie's borough pool has anchored Menlo Park since 1939, rebuilt in 2007 with a lazy river and a drop slide off the 13-foot deep end.

Sellersville

  • The Washington House Hotel & Restaurant: The dinner-and-a-show half of the Sellersville Theater complex, sharing a wall with the 325-seat STG stage so you can eat and walk next door without moving the car.
  • Sellersville Beverage & Cigar: A family beer distributor since 2006, with a walk-in humidor of a few thousand cigars set behind the cases of craft, import, and domestic.
  • Lake Lenape Waterfalls: The spillway pours over a low WPA-built dam into the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek, the natural halfway point on the loop that circles this 122-acre park straddling Sellersville and Perkasie.
