‘Heather Heather’ Supports, Rocks Out At S.A.F.E Event

There comes a time when everything must meet its match. Tuesday nights stormy weather, met a beautiful, uplifting rainbow. Dangerous travel in Lower Bucks County, now meet powerful, Sharon Rearick.   Rearick (who lost her son John while he was hit walking on New Falls Road last July), is the founder of the S.A.F.E (Sidewalks Are For Everyone) cause ‘Sidewalks for New Falls Road’.   Rearick is no rookie when it comes to planning events (in light of gloomy weather) throughout the community in support of safer travel in Lower Bucks. In fact, every S.A.F.E event has experienced two things: dreadful, rainy weather, and a positive, embracing rainbow to meet its match.  “Ya know, I complain that it rains, but do you see that rainbow?” said Rearick as she spoke passionately to an event goer. “Happens every time.” In fact to long time S.A.F.E supporters, the rain no longer holds them back, they see the rainbow as a clue that John is letting them all know he’s watching.

Tuesday night’s S.A.F.E event at Dairy Delite on Rt. 13 brought out the largest crowd to date. Supporters sipped on milkshakes, licked ice cream cones, signed the S.A.F.E petition and enjoyed the sultry sounds of local favorite ‘Heather Heather’.

The band ‘Heather Heather’ who has been seen making waves across the region, performed songs from a varying collection. Some songs, for the parents in the crowd, while others, younger children could jump up and down and sing all the words to.

Rearick was seen dancing around herself, enjoying the sweet treats, uplifting music and the large range of supporters that filled the parking lot of an old-time favorite ice cream parlour.

“There is so much support, its amazing,” Rearick stated. “All the girls here, doing face painting and making the balloon animals, are donating their time and their supplies, of course they are charging customers, but they are donating all the money to us, which is truly amazing.”

To date S.A.F.E has almost 1,000 signatures on its tangible petition, and over 3,200 on its online petition.The Jewelry Exchange (located by Oxford Valley Mall) when approached with the idea for the S.A.F.E’s Tuesday night fundraiser, swiftly handed over a $100 check, no questions asked. The check was presented to the Rearick family amidst all of their supporters Tuesday night. In all, S.A.F.E has raised thousands of dollars.
