Chester Merchants Press Release
      
     |   | Hello!  
 I think I saw Noah's ark on Route 3 today - or maybe it was an 18 wheeler. 
 The landscape is very different in Chester this week - there's more water than land. 
 Even the drive through has a marine element. |  | 
 
    |   | Tonight
 , Wednesday, there is a tennis tournament at the Chester Tennis Club at
 6 pm with four South Shore clubs participating. It's not Wimbledon, but
 you don't have to get on a plane to see it. Free admission. |  |
