Those summer days

The dog days of August are upon us, so we thought we’d offer a few summer photos of days gone by to help you enjoy this hot weather.

In one photo, from 1980, you see Jim Kline from Lansdale rowing his boat at Fischer’s Park in Towamencin.

According to this photo from The Reporter archives, this was part of the North Penn YMCA day camp held at the park that year.

In the photo above, also from 1980, a bunch of kids seek relief from the heat by playing in the Towamencin pool.

Hope these help to cool you off!

I was a North Penn YMCA Day Camp counselor at Fischer's Pool in the summer of 1980! Wow, it takes me back. Boating was my favorite activity there. I think we called the director Uncle Buck!
