Once that's done, the Southern End Community Association will seek bids to renovate its public swimming pool.

Dangers posed by the African Swine Fever have brought changes to the market hog competition at this year's Solanco Fair.
In years past, contestants who brought pigs that were either not heavy enough or too heavy to compete were allowed to take those hogs home. When the temperatures head south, so do geese, swallows, and snowbirds –residents of the Southern End who go to warmer states for a week, a month, or the entire season.
Some of those snowbirds are volunteers who deliver Meals on Wheels throughout the Southern End. Finding drivers to fill in for the snowbirds is one of Solanco Meals on Wheels' new volunteer coordinator Diane Hastings' early priorities. "It can be difficult to find more drivers in the winter," she said. While they were waiting for the first new signal pole to arrive, a truck damaged another pole at the intersection of Quarryville's S. Church St. and 4th St.
