Made on the Main Line (MOTML), an LMSD version of Made in America, was hosted at Narberth Park on Saturday, October 23rd. After not having MOTML last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the community was eager to join together and help the Harriton community once again. Harriton students provided music and entertainment, sold food, and raised money for their school clubs. 

One of the activities at MOTML was a watermelon eating contest. Several students stepped up to the plate to see who could eat a watermelon first without using their hands. The contestants gave their best effort, and the cheering crowd was entertained. The winner received a kite and, of course, bragging rights!

Along with watermelon eating, Harriton business club, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), had cup pong for players to enjoy for $1. If a player got the ball into the cup, they were entered into a raffle to win a gift card. The money raised at the FBLA table went to funding entry fees for the club to be able to participate in higher-level competitions.

Along with FBLA, 84 Days thought of an amusing, yet messy, way to raise money: students paid to pie each other in the face. Watching friends pie each other was a great laugh, and donating to the charity was a fantastic way to give back. The pie money went to the 84 Days charity, which donates feminine products to people around the world who do not have access to them. When the women do not have substantial products, they are forced to miss 84 days of school a year due to their period, so the money raised will help to diminish the possibility of this for women all around the world.

Although various clubs decided to sell food, a bestseller was the delicious dumplings sold by Asian Culture Club. Customers lined up at the table to buy the famous dumplings, and by the end of the day, over a hundred were sold. This was a creative way to raise money at the event since it shared a taste of the club’s culture with the Main Line.

At the event, the annual Made on the Main Line shirts were sold, with a new design this year. As the only apparel sold, they were coveted by students. Wearing the shirt was a fun way to show pride and excitement for the school, and the money made helped fund this major event.

For music and entertainment, the day started with Grace Deneen on the ukulele, then Rose Weather singing her Spotify songs, followed by Pitch Please showing off their a capella skills. Another group that performed was RQH, and by the end of their performance, there was a crowd of people singing and dancing along. Lastly, the Disco Donuts, Mark Riggio and Zach Brownstein ended the day.

This year’s Made on the Main Line was one to remember, and now we wait patiently for next year’s event. We cannot be sure what is in store for us, but we sure are excited to see.
