Bridesburg Reunion (Spring Fling) A huge success.

The Bridesburg reunion put together by Mary Kate Roonan, Keith Charlton, and George Smith was a huge success. 

The event brought together many residents who grew up in Bridesburg.  There were people from all ages at the event, but most were between 35-45 years old.  The event allowed me to touch base with a few that I lost touch with over the years.  Being a resident of Bridesburg there were many there that I am still in touch with everyday.  Some brought old pictures with them, and some told funny stories of events from our grade school days. Many thanks go out those who put the time and effort in to bring this together.  My only complaint was that the music was too load at times and it was hard to hear the conversations. although I had a camera with me I took only 3 pictures the entire night. 

Origins of BRIDESBURG
A village south of Frankford Creek and upon a tract of land formerly belonging to Point-no-Point. It took its name from Joseph Kirkbride, who for many years was land-owner there and proprietor of a ferry over Frankford Creek, and to whom Legislature gave a right to build a bridge and receive toll for passage over the same by act of March 20,1811. On April 1, 1833, the County of Philadelphia bought the Kirkbride bridge and two and a half acres of land annexed for $5,500. Kirkbridesburg was considered too long a name for convenient use, and the shorter one was adopted Bridesburg was incorporated as a borough on April 1, 1848.
