The Coopersburg Halloween Parade 2013 was a
great success. It was a cool and cloudy, with some
sun as the day went on. Crowds lining Main Street
were bigger than ever and were enthusiastic as
usual. The parade included four bands: Southern
Lehigh H.S. Marching Band, Southern Lehigh M.S.
Marching Band, Palisades H.S. Marching Band, and
the Geryville Hobo Band. Also included were various
Civic Organizations. Coopersburg, Upper Saucon,
Richland Township, Quakertown, Springtown, and
Lower Milford Fire Companies and the Upper Saucon
Ambulance Corps ended the divisions. A plaque was
presented to this year’s parade marshal, William H.
Miracle, of Coopersburg. Bill and his wife, Susan,
moved here 35 years ago. He’s worked 21 years with
the Historical Society’s Community Day (10 years
as co-chair), served on the SoLeHi School Board for
16 years, JOC Board of LCTI for 16 years, and was
Trustee at Large on the Board of Trustees for LCCC.
Judges for the parade were Samantha Bauer, David
Diaz, Tim Paashaus, Pam Page, and Marci Weaver.
John Marshall, parade chairman, would like to thank
the committee members and parade captains for their
hard work and devotion. Thanks also to the Police and
Fire Police for providing traffic control. The winners

From the moment Linda Kenyon hurries into the train
compartment that she will share with you for the next 45
minutes, you will forget that Eleanor Roosevelt died in
1962 at 78 years of age. Linda Kenyon is Eleanor Roosevelt. Her warmth and friendliness are immediately evident as the former First Lady candidly shares highlights
and low points in her amazing life. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Eleanor Roosevelt.

Chestnut Hill Church:
Celebrating 125 Years
Chestnut Hill Church, located in Lower Milford
Township, will celebrate the 125th anniversary of
the laying of the cornerstone for the present church
building on Nov. 17. During the 10am worship
service, the church’s religious history and heritage
will be traced. At 2pm will be a recount of CHC’s
story, placing it in the larger historical context of the
late 19th century. There’ll be some fun with a trivial
pursuit, multiple choice quiz to help understand
the church’s past, followed by a viewing of the
present and future in their cultural contexts. All are
welcome to both events. Lunch will be served and a
reception will follow the 2pm event. The completion
of a handicapped restroom, new office space, and
a major repair on the 140 foot high steeple will also
be celebrated. Chestnut Hill Church is a centuries
old landmark in the community. Although there’s
reason to believe the origins of the congregation
date to the 1720s, the present church building is
the third building atop Chestnut Hill, named for the
presence of chestnut trees in previous years. Come
join in celebration of history and God’s work in this
small corner of Lower Milford Township. Chestnut
