Middletown Area High School To Hold Open Stage 2019 Homecoming Celebration Sets Reopening

R045784

Middletown Area High School (MAHS) has announced that the members of its 2019 homecoming court are (front, from left) Kate Fitzpatrick, Marie Schopf, Noelle Zimmerman, Jordyn Dupes, Makenna Redline, (back) Luke Fegley, Joey Spear, Dane Ebersole, Garrett Miller, and Mason Stoltzfus. Look inside this issue for more information about the members of the court and the upcoming homecoming festivities. (Photo by Terry Lupia.)

Open Stage will open its doors to the public on Thursday, Oct. 24, after a major renovation. At 11 a.m., Harrisburg Mayor Eric Papenfuse and state Rep. Patty Kim will join members of Open Stage’s staff and board at the new front entrance at 25 N. Court St., Harrisburg, to cut the ceremonial ribbon and open the facility for tours and entertainment. For 27 years, Open Stage presented its productions at its second location in downtown Harrisburg, but struggled with visibility due to the lack of a front entrance. Stuart Landon, who took over the position of producing artistic director in 2017, worked with founders Donald and Anne Alsedek and the board of directors to create a plan for the future of the performance space. Part of the capital campaign has gone to the overhaul and renovation of the facility, which includes a new lobby with a bar and small entertainment stage, as well as a 60-seat black box studio theater, where Open Stage will extend programming and have live performances up to six nights a week. These shows will include plays and musicals, accompanied by variety shows, jazz concerts, cabarets, performance art, comedy, improv, and readings of new works. The former lobby area has been converted into an updated classroom for students of the Alsedek Theatre School, which serves as a training facility for artists ages 5 to adult. See Open Stage pg 16

Proceeds will support the Emily Whitehead Foundation and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Central Pennsylvania. The 5-mile race and 5K will step off at 9 a.m. in front of the Lawn Fire Company, 5596 Elizabethtown Road, Lawn. Race-day registration and check-in will open at 7 a.m. A T-shirt and goodie bag will be provided to all preregistered participants.

Local meteorologist MaryEllen Pann will serve as the master of cere-

monies for the day. According to the Blood, Sweat, and Tears 5-Miler website, the event has donated more than $23,000 to the Emily Whitehead Foundation over the last three years. In 2012, Emily became the first child in history to be treated for her cancer using her own re-engineered T cells. After relapsing from her bout with leukemia, Emily entered a clinical trial at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), where she underwent this radical new therapy. She almost died and was on life support for two weeks and in a coma, but the doctors at CHOP fought to keep her alive while they addressed the side effects from this new treatment. Emily fought hard too and awoke from her coma on her seventh birthday. Detailed medical tests revealed she was cancer-free. Seven years later, Emily’s story continues to inspire people as doctors and researchers have built on Emily’s case, and now the same treatment is being used to save the lives of many children and adults. The Food and Drug Administration gave its approval to the new treatment in the summer of 2017 so that it could go nationwide and help save the lives of more children. Since then, it has been used internationally. Today, Emily is a healthy and cancer-free 14-year-old. Her family established the Emily Whitehead Foundation in order to help fund more innovative treatments in fighting childhood cancer. Emily has made appearances on various news shows and has had the chance

In some cases, I have worked with their parents and now the next generation,� said Julie. “We have been there for each other through births, deaths, marriages, and health issues. There is a genuine caring and respect. I see how hard they work for their families and the community. I am so grateful to have known such upstanding business leaders and quality, honest people.� “From our family at EPC, we want to thank each person who has been a part of our evolving story, from the advertisers to the readers and the vendors,� Jocelyn said. “And Denny and to our team of dedicated employees, thank you for your many years of service. There are not enough words of gratitude that can be expressed for the amazing impact you have made in order serve the communities that we do.� Many longtime employees recalled fond memories from their time as part of the EPC family. “I have a great memory of Mrs. Pauline Engle,� said Carol Bowles, customer service. “When I ran the bindery in Mount Joy, there were times that on a skid by myself. Mrs. Engle would take a walk around the pressroom and head back towards the bindery. She would say, ‘Good morning,’ with a smile and then head straight over to the pockets and started to feed them to help out. She would also help out at the tables inserting the Merchandiser when things got behind - and she did it all in high heels. Amazing.� “One of the sweetest memories I have is one afternoon shortly after returning to work after having my daughter,� said Ruth Ebersole, customer service. “‘Mrs. E,’ as I like to refer to her, met me at the door with a baby gift. It was a hand-crocheted baby blanket that she had made for me. It was certainly unexpected but so like her and (an example of) how she

Every day I see the pain and hardships that our clients encounter. If not for EPC, many of them would have no path for a brighter future.� Another organization supported by EPC is Rainbow’s End Youth Services (REYS) in Mount Joy. “From the earliest days of Rainbow’s End Youth Services in 1982, when the youth center was just a few small rooms meeting a “...They also taught us to give couple hours a week, to the back and help those in need in our current full youth center community.

Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money available to beautify your community. Also, spending locally instead of online ensures that your sales taxes are reinvested where they belong - in your community!

2. You embrace what makes your community unique.

“(The Europeans who first lived in this area) made practically everything they needed (from red clay): bedpans, roach traps, jugs‌â€? said Bob Hughes, potter-in-residence at Conestoga Area Historical Society (CAHS), 51 Kendig Road, Conestoga. In his shop, located with other craftspersons’ shops on the ground floor of the CAHS main building, Bob has those very items on display. Because some of Lancaster County’s soils are rich in red clay, which can be easily fired, redware pottery was common among the Europeans who first moved into the area. “When I find roach traps, they usually smell like molasses,â€? Bob said, holding a small, conical vessel - almost like an old-fashioned beehive - in his hand. Roaches seeking molasses or honey with which the trap was baited would

crawl in and be stuck. The potter’s shop was reorganized this year, and Bob stocked the shelves with examples from his collection. There are shelves of crocks, jugs, vases, and inkwells, and there are even two shelves full of bundt pans and similar ring-shaped baking dishes. “I love the way everybody solved their problems a different way,� Bob said, commenting on the variations in design. In contrast to the practical items, Bob also has a shelf of ring vases that are adaptations of designs spotted in places like the Winterthur Museum in Delaware. “I’ve turned them into story pots,� Bob said. Pointing to a cheerful songbird, he added, “This bird is a 3-D interpretation of (one from) a fraktur.� Redware production was relatively low-tech, and a farmer could work part time to produce the necessary vessels. In contrast, stoneware was a more involved process. Stoneware took over See CAHS pg 4

Keep your eyes on the night sky, and you just might catch a glimpse of a friendly, flying witch making her way to the Lebanon Valley Expo Center to attend the Witches Fly North Antique and Artisan Show on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 4 and 5, in Lebanon, Pa. For 13 years, this event has showcased the best in early antiques, vintage wares, primitives, industrial, salvage and artistically created jewelry, clothing and more. It gets better with each passing year, and Witches Fly North 2019 is sure to please all attendees again. This fall show is hosted by Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques. Owners Diane Gibble and Troy Tranquillo have watched this event grow from a small backyard casual event to a bustling, busy venue full of vendors and shoppers sporting witch hats and capes. But don’t let the hat fool you, it’s all in fun and a great way to bring both vendors and shoppers together for a busy two days of selling and picking. The show has grown in leaps and bounds each year, creating the need for bigger and better venues. If you thought last year’s event held at the Tulpehocken Manor couldn’t be better, think again. The Lebanon Valley Expo Center won’t disappoint, with plenty of climate-controlled space indoors, as well as covered, open air space outside. Since the show must go on, rain or shine, this venue will keep vendors and customers comfortable and provide plenty of parking. Although every talented vendor contributes to the spirited atmosphere of the show, hosts Gibble and Tranquillo are excited to introduce several new vendors this year. Among them are Sue Whitney, the founder and creative genius behind Junkmarket. Founded in 2000, Junkmarket has become the national leader in the “rustoration� industry. Whitney is also the author of “Junk Beautiful� and several other inspiring books and has been featured on the Hallmark Channel’s “Home and Family Show,� “The

J Joseph B. Hostetter retired from a successful farming career in Rapho Township and purchased Gabe Moyer’s Hardware Store (on W. Donegal St. T in Mount Joy) in 1927. The business, which has been family owned and operated from T tthe beginning, has undergone several changes since it began. In 1929, it acquired Brown Brothers Hardware at 35 West Main St. in Mount Joy. During the 1940s, the store added General Electric (GE) and Maytag appliances. In the 1950s, the business began sselling GE televisions. The store incorporated as JJB Hostetter and Sons Inc. in 1963. Later that summer, Joseph passed away. The business continued to branch out, joining the 3000 T member True Value Hardware Wholesale Cooperative in 1970. The co-op currently has over 5000 members. Hostetter Hardware T Inc. formed two years later and acquired H S Newcomer and Sons, a hardware store located at 93 East Main St. S Arthur Hostetter and his wife Clara, along with their sons Jack and A Kent, owned and operated this new location. The most recent location change came in 1982, when Arthur T Clara & Ar purchased a 5 acre plot of land at the store’s current location, 1225 West Main St. Construction on the 35,000 square-foot building began in 1983, with the two stores merging and officially opening to tthe public on July 5, 1984. In 1994, another expansion occurred with the addition of more than 21,000 square feet of warehouse space and two a greenhouses. Two years later in 1996, the business added the rental g

On Wednesday, Oct. 23, Hart will present his lecture, “Putting on Our Blue Jeans:

included prospective member parties at Medieval Times in Maryland, Laserdome in Manheim, and SkyZone in Lancaster. Upcoming activities will feature a Halloweenthemed activity and an outdoor field day. Elizabethtown Chapter, Order of DeMolay, is a fraternal organization for young men between the ages of 12 and 21 for young men from the Elizabethtown, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lititz, Lower Dauphin, Manheim, Marietta, Middletown, Mount Joy, New Providence, Quarryville, and Lebanon areas. Through its varied activities, the Order of DeMolay teaches the principles of good citizenship, fraternalism, and leadership. A basic chapter program includes public speaking, athletics, social functions, travel, and civic service projects. Elizabethtown Chapter is sponsored by Abraham C. Treichler Lodge 682 Free and Accepted Masons, Corinthian Royal Arch Chapter 224, and Lancaster Commandery 13 Knights Templar.

Allie Bucher, communications manager at Hospice & Community Care, shared, “Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. has been an amazing supporter of Hospice & Community Care over the years. It is because of their commitment that we have been able to bring awareness about the importance of hospice care to the communities we serve and provide care and comfort to all patients and families. They are a true asset to the community. Congratulations on celebrating 65 years!” Looking to the future, Jocelyn hopes to continue EPC’s community partnerships, and she believes that local investment is even more crucial today. “With the overwhelming amount of options and ease of convenience, the focus needs to remain on supporting the community of businesses and neighbors,” Jocelyn pointed out. “The strongest, most impactful opportunities to serve and support local communities need to be done in local communities.” “It is an honor and privilege to be part of EPC and contribute to its legacy,” Daryl added. “Our Christian heritage is at the core of all we do and is the foundation for our commitment to the local communities, businesses, churches, and organizations that we serve.” When describing EPC’s service to the community, Charlie quoted John Wesley, who stated, “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you can.” “As I look back on the 65 years of Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc., I remember our parents instilling in us children a desire to do a good, quality job or service on time and at a fair price for our customers,” Charlie related. “However, it was much more than that. It also aligned with what Rotary considers to be the Four Way Test for actions: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? 9KNN KV DWKNF IQQFYKNN CPF DGVVGT HTKGPFUJKRU!

group has been selecting a Peace Fellow each year since 2006. Detrick said that both men and women have been selected for the honor, but Hart is the first African American and person of color to be named to the role. “ We always try to have speakers that have universal themes that apply to a variety of times,” noted Detrick. The board members have historically alternated between selecting academicians and practitioners as Peace Fellows. “Drew Hart does both. He is the best of both worlds,” Detrick stated. The ECPF is an organization of Elizabethtown College alumni, current and former faculty and staff members, and friends of the college. Its mission is to affirm and promote the values of peace, nonviolence, human dignity, and social justice in the global community - reflective of the Elizabethtown College mission statement.

Bethel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, 128 W. Fairview Ave., Marietta, is planning a celebration to mark the 200th anniversary of its founding. Bethel is recognized as the oldest continuously operating church in Marietta. The Celebrate 200 banquet will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19, at Heritage Hotel, 500 Centerville Road, Lancaster. Everyone is invited to attend and join the Rev. Charlie Mae Thomas and the officers and members of the congregation in celebrating this milestone. The theme for the evening will be “We’ve Come This Far by Faith.” Dinner will be served, and the Rev. Bryan McAllister, pastor of Bethel AME Church in Camden, N.J., will be the guest speaker. Tickets are available for a set fee. Interested individuals may call 717-4263528 to reserve tickets. According to Thomas, in 1819, a group of people of color and of African descent gathered regularly for religious services in a pasture area of Marietta called Heisey Woods, which became known as Cassel’s Park in later years. Bethel AME Church was established, and documents show that in October 1833, land was acquired from Christian and Margaret Hershey in the 100

The property was described as including a stable, orchard and a carriage house. The congregation remodeled the carriage house and worshiped there until it was destroyed by a fire in 1861, according to documentation in the Pioneer Fire Company minutes book. After many hardships and prayers, a new church building was erected

on the same site. In 1969, that building was torn down to make way for a more modern structure, which was made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Anthony L. Resch. The new church building was dedicated on April 26, 1970. The cemetery beside the church is the resting place of several black Civil War veterans, including Wesley Armstrong,

who fought with the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which was featured in the film “Glory.” Weekly Sunday activities at Marietta Bethel AME include Sunday school at 10 a.m., followed by a worship service at 11 a.m. All are welcome.

Memorial University. Hess will explain how, during the Civil War, neither the Union nor the Confederate army could have operated without effective transportation systems, as coordination on a massive scale was required for moving men, supplies, and equipment. Both sides of the conflict faced challenges in maintaining national and region-

al lines of transportation, and both armies tried to destroy the other’s transportation facilities, firing on river boats and dismantling rails to disrupt opposing supply lines. Hess is the author of more than 20 books on the Civil War, including “Civil War Infantry Tactics,” winner of the 2016 Tom Watson Brown Book Award from the Soci-

ety of Civil War Historians. The 2019 Lessons in History program is free to the public. Regular museum admission applies for entrance to the museum galleries.

Chatter Hi, everyone! Happy middle of October! We are racing to the start of the holiday season, aren’t we? I am so excited I can hardly stand it! So, I thought I would list some other holidays that are happening this week. These are a little less known. Oct. 16 - Boss’s Day: Now here is a day that gives you a chance to both tell and show the boss what you really think of him or her. And, it is an opportunity to give your boss the appreciation that he or she truly deserves. Oct. 17 - National Pasta Day: Choose your favorite pasta shape (there’s over 600 of them), add your favorite sauce, and chow down! Oct. 18 - No Beard Day: Bare it all and show off your chin. If you don’t like it, you can always grow it back. Oct. 19 - Sweetest Day: Herbert Birch Kingston, a Cleveland, Ohio philanthropist and candy company employee, started Sweetest Day. He wanted to bring happiness to orphans, shut-ins, and under-privileged individuals. His intent was to show these people that they were not forgotten. In 1922, he started this holiday by giving candy and small gifts. He often used movie stars to distribute the gifts. Sounds like Herbert was the sweetest! Oct. 20 - Brandied Fruit Day: This holiday celebrates sweettasting fruit, soaked and marinated in brandy. This is a day that you have most certainly booked on your calendar, in eager anticipation. Well, it has finally arrived. Oct. 21 - National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day: It’s easy to enjoy this special day. Go to a cheesecake store or bakery and buy a pumpkin cheesecake. Or, better yet, make a homemade pumpkin cheesecake. It’s fun and its easy. I’ve included a recipe a little further down in this column! Oct. 22 - National Nut Day: Pick your favorite nut on this nutty holiday and not only enjoy a delicious snack but also a very nutritious one as well. Trick-or-Treat Night is Oct. 31 in Middletown and all the surrounding areas. Believe in Yourself Once, there was an older man, who was broke, lived in a tiny house, and owned a beat-up car. He was living off $99 social security checks. At 65 years of age, he decided things had to change. So, he thought about what he had to offer. His friends raved about his chicken recipe.

He decided that this was his best shot at making a change. He left Kentucky and traveled to different states to try to sell his recipe. He told restaurant owners that he had a mouthwatering chicken recipe. He offered the recipe to them for free, just asking for a small percentage on the items sold. Sounds like a good deal, right? Unfortunately, not to most of the restaurants. He heard “no” over 1,000 times. Even after all of those rejections, he didn’t give up. He believed his chicken recipe was something special. He got rejected 1,009 times before he heard his first yes. With that one success, Colonel Harland Sanders changed the way Americans eat chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC, was born. Remember, never give up and always believe in yourself in spite of rejection. Happy Birthdays First off for this week, a special birthday wish goes out to my wonderful dad, Charles “Butch” Pilsitz of Middletown! His cake-day is Oct. 17. I hope your day is the best yet for you, Dad! I love you with all of my heart! Next, another special wish goes out to my sister-fromanother-mister Angie Stewart of Middletown! Her cake-day is Oct. 17, as well. I hope your day is almost too much fun to handle, Ang! I love ya big time! Happy birthday to Courtnie Cole of Middletown! Her cakeday is Oct. 16. I hope your day is magnificent, Courtnie! Happy birthday to Leann Lawson of Middletown! Her cake-day is Oct. 18. I hope your day is lovely like you, Leann! Happy birthday to Scott Vorodi of Londonderry Township! His cake-day is Oct. 19. I hope your day makes you feel like a king, Scott! Happy birthday to Marsha Leach of Londonderry Township! Her cake-day is Oct. 18. I hope your day is full of sunshine and happiness, Marsha! Happy birthday to Michelle Rife of Lower Swatara Township! Her cake-day is Oct. 19.

DMVA Issues Reminder For Veterans The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) wants to see that everyone leaving the military receives every benefit they earned with their service to America. Former military members should register with the DMVA and apply for federal health care benefits soon after transitioning to civilian life. Hand-in-hand with applying for benefits is safeguarding military paperwork so these important documents are not misplaced or lost. Not having easy access to military paperwork could cause unnecessary delays when applying for benefits years down the road. Veterans can sign up for the DMVA Veterans Registry by computer or mobile device at www.register.dmva.pa.gov. In addition to veterans, family members and people who work with veterans can sign up for the registry to receive helpful information about programs, benefits and services. Information about how to apply for U.S. Department of

Veterans Affairs (VA) health care benefits can be found by going to www.va.gov/health benefits/apply/. Also, it is important for veterans to safeguard their DD214/215 and other military documents by immediately filing them at their county courthouse of record. The DD-214 is an official document that contains the information needed to verify military service and help to avoid verification issues later in life. The DD-215 is used to correct errors or make additions to a DD-214. These documents can also be uploaded to the Veterans Registry for safe keeping with the DMVA. Additionally, any National Guard member who has not been ordered on active duty will not receive a DD-214. The discharge documents for National Guard members are the NGB-22 and NGB-23. Anyone needing assistance from the DMVA to locate their DD-214/215 or other military documentation can call 717-861-8910 or email RA-REQ@pa.gov.

DAR Grant Supports Mansion Gifts That Give Hope Fair Renovation To Move To New Location With the support of the Donegal Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), DAR approved a Special Project Grant to restore the main visitor door entrance of the Haldeman Mansion, 230 Locust Grove Road, Bainbridge. The Haldeman Mansion Preservation Society (HMPS) was awarded $2,469 on Oct. 8, 2018, for the project, which included the installation of a stone threshold. The mansion’s six-panel Cross and Bible door was renovated with its original strap hinges and forged iron door lock with an elbow lever latch. DAR was founded in 1890 to promote patriotism, preserve American history, and support better education for the nation’s children. Its members are descended from the patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. DAR has more than 185,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide. To learn more about the DAR, readers may visit www.dar.org. Information about applying for a Special Projects Grant is available at www.dar.org/grants. HMPS president Ken Beard noted that the renovation and DAR’s support have enhanced HMPS’ efforts to restore and maintain the Haldeman Mansion for future generations. HMPS’ mission is to use the mansion and its Locust Grove property as a community gathering place and a local history and educational center. The mansion was built by John

Haldeman (1753-1832) and his wife, Maria (1760-1835). John and his father, Jacob Haldeman (1722-1783), supported the Colonies’ independence movement. Jacob was a member of the Committee of Observation from Rapho Township, which existed as a part of the preliminary political and military activity in Lancaster County at the beginning of the American Revolution. John served in the 3rd and 7th Battalions in

the Lancaster County Militia. The Haldeman Mansion and its Locust Grove property are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is known for its Native American, Colonial, Early American, and scientific heritages. Tours are provided on the third Sunday of each month from May to October and by appointment. For more information, readers may contact Elaine Jackson at 717-426-3794 or elainekjackson@centurylink.net.

This year, the Gifts That Give Hope (GTGH) Lancaster Alternative Gift Fair is moving to a new location. The 12th annual event is set to take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, in Landis Hall at The Junction Center, 1875 Junction Road, Manheim. People may visit with representatives of 30 nonprofits that are providing life-changing benefits to people in both local and global contexts. Individuals will have the option of purchasing charitable gift donations to honor loved ones, and each of those gifts will include a greeting card and an explanatory insert about how the donation will sustain and provide for others. Founder Jenn Knepper said that the fair also offers plenty of options for individuals who would rather purchase something tangible to gift those on their holiday shopping list with as well. In addition to the 30 nonprofits, approximately 12 marketplace vendors will sell fair trade items. “We try to emphasize that there’s something for everybody,” explained Knepper. “And if you are going to buy tangible things, make it something that is ethically sourced. People want to make those choices, and the fair brings a lot of options into one place.” The fair serves as a strong community-building event as the nonprofits that participate are able to share their stories and missions with shoppers, building both relationships and awareness. One of the new participants in this year’s fair will be Bridge, an award-winning cultural exchange startup established by Somalian refugee Mustafa Nuur. “We are a social enterprise company, and we use cultural events to connect people in the community with refugees,” explained Nuur. Bridge, which allows people to purchase in-home dining experiences with local refugee families,

The Gifts That Give Hope (GTGH) Lancaster Alternative Gift Fair, founded by Jenn Knepper (third from right), will be held on Dec. 7 at The Junction Center in Manheim. Representing a sampling of the organizations that will take part in this year’s event are (from left) Feleen Nancarvis of Lancaster Meals on Wheels, Beth Weaver of AIM to Empower, Mustafa Nuur of Bridge, and Deb Becker and Carla Horn of Connection Ubuntu. offers refugees an opportunity to use their existing skills to make a supplemental income and provides Americans with cross-cultural experiences in their own hometown. Exclusive gift certificates will be available for GTGH attendees to purchase. Another new GTGH participant for 2019 will be AIM to Empower, a nonprofit organization founded by Beth Weaver in 2017 with the intent of creating connection and opportunity through the practice of yoga. “I’ve seen the positive impact (yoga) can have on people, so we want to take yoga to underserved populations,” Weaver said. AIM to Empower has implemented yoga programs in places including Lancaster County Prison, Lancaster County Youth Intervention Center, Refugee Center and Community School at Reynolds, and Lourdeshouse Maternity Home. At GTGH, plenty of food will be available to purchase from local vendors such as Upohar, Reunion Food Truck, Grape Leaf Cafe, and The Lancaster Stroopies Company, so Knepper encourages attendees to come hungry. A new food tour will allow people to purchase tickets and receive a stamp card that will di-

rect them to the eight booths at the fair participating in the tour. A volunteer or business owner at each stand will provide food education or information about the business, as well as samples of small dishes such as samosas and Liberian rice bread. Children can participate in a scavenger hunt centered on the Declaration of Human Rights in honor of Human Rights Day, celebrated on Dec. 10. Participants who complete the hunt will be eligible to receive a book about human rights. Since it began in 2008, the fair has become a staple for many Lancaster-area residents as they shop for the holidays. Knepper, who resides in Lancaster and works as a nurse in Hershey, read a newspaper article about an alternative gift fair happening in Harrisburg and thought it would be great to bring one to Lancaster. “I just loved what they were doing, because I’ve always been kind of a minimalist, and giving gifts that would also serve a deeper purpose really resonated with me,” Knepper said. To learn more, readers may visit www.giftsthatgivehope.org /lancaster or search for “Gifts That Give Hope: Lancaster’s Alternative Gift Fair” on Facebook.
