READING, Pa. – People in the city of Reading were enjoying a free pool day Sunday.
Not only was the College Manor Pool free, but so was the food.
And there was a little something for all ages. Kids could enjoy face painting, music, and the best poolside dessert –ice cream.
There was also nonprofits at the pool with information about resources available to Reading residents.
Reading Councilman Wesley Butler tells us why he chose to host the event for the city.
“Not having to worry about getting something to eat, paying for something to eat. Having that to offer. Just trying to please as many people in the community that we can,” Butler said.
Councilman Butler says they hope to make this a summer tradition for Reading.
