Providence Township to host Night Out activities

7/31/2019

 
    Last year's event exceeded organizers' expectations.
    "We didn't know what to expect," Providence Township zoning officer Heidi Martinez said last week. "We've had about 50 people come to our annual picnic, so we didn't know how many would come out for the first time we combined that with the National Night Out. We got between 400 and 500 people [in 2018]. We did not think we would get that many."

7/26/2019

 
    Organizers of the Solanco Fair Parade are trying to encourage more individuals and groups to design and build floats for the annual event.

St. Paul’s finds success with daytime VBS

7/23/2019

 
    They've tried evenings. They've tried weekends. But organizers of St. Paul's Church's annual vacation Bible School have found holding the event on successive Wednesdays in July works best for them.
    "We started doing this in 2014," director Patti Chase said last week. "Except for last year, we've done it in the mornings at [Quarryville's] Huffnagle Park. We tried evenings because we thought it would allow us to attract more helpers, but it didn't."

Working to honor veterans

    It would have been cheaper just to write a check.
    A songwriter they met on the trip made that point to Ron Storms and Meghan Schreiner.
    "He asked us how much we had put into creating the truck and financing the trip. When I told him 'it was about $15,000', he asked, 'why didn't you just write a check',"  Storms recalled.
    But that would not have promoted the cause the way this did, Storms said.
