Wet weather across Philadelphia region impacted events such as Haverford First Fest Music Festival and more

"For me, it's great for business because people wander in and want to do something physical, so they come in and take yoga," Jennifer Green said.
We can't control the weather but many people say they're hoping the next few weekends are rain free.
"Hopefully, it will clear up again tomorrow and into next week," Morris said.
The Haverford First Fest Music Festival has been rescheduled for Sunday. Many are anxious to hear good music and see more people in the street.
