The event will be held at Conoy Park, 2115 River Road, Bainbridge, on Saturday, Sept. 21, and Sunday, Sept. 22. The festivities will kick off with breakfast served by the Conoy Lions Club beginning at 7 a.m. both days. Opening ceremonies will be held at 9 a.m. on Saturday,

A fishing derby for children age 15 and under will be held following opening ceremonies. Participants should bring their own bait and rod. A tractor parade will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday and at noon on Sunday.
With a theme of “Made in Pennsylvania,” both days will feature live entertainment from bluegrass bands, demonstrations, re-enactors, vendors and food.
A benefit auction will begin at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
“We will have lots of variety,” said event volunteer Tonya Bernhard, describing the auction. “There are usually a lot of antiques, but we never really know what we’re going to have because it’s whatever people donate.” New this year, the event will offer an opportunity to win a variety of giveaway baskets, featuring gift cards to local businesses and attractions, personal care products, a “Taste of

In 1954, Alvin Engle bought a printing press with a dream of starting his own publication. Alvin, who had been working full time in the printing business, put the press in the basement of his home in Mount Joy, and together he and his wife, Pauline, laid the foundation for what would become Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. (EPC). As
EPC celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, the company invites members of the community to attend an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21, at its facility at 1100 Corporate Blvd. in Lancaster.

“Frozen JR.” shares message of the power of love
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Love can conquer all, and that message will take the spotlight when Susquehanna Stage presents “Frozen JR.” The show will be performed at the theater, 133 W. Market St., Marietta, on select dates between Friday, Sept. 13, and Saturday, Sept. 21.
Based on the popular Disney movie, “Frozen JR.” tells the story of two sisters, one born with magical powers and one without, said Brielle Grove, who portrays Elsa in the show.
“Anna and Elsa grow up together, but when they were children, there was an accident with the powers, and Elsa hurt her younger sister, and they slowly separate after their parents pass away,” she explained. “The whole show is basically Elsa learning how to control her powers and also share them with her
kingdom and embrace it.”
Like the movie, “Frozen JR.” features well-known songs such as “Let It Go,” “Fixer Upper” and “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” The stage version, which is a shorter show designed for young audiences, also includes new songs, including “Hygge,” which is performed by Oaken and his family.
Performing in the show is exciting, said Jordyn Good, who plays Olaf, but it also comes with a bit of pressure.
“Everybody knows these characters,” she said. “Olaf is happy and fun, so you just have to be happy and fun. It’s kind of difficult to be the way Olaf would act, but then to put it into your own character. You just have to have fun with it.”
For Brielle, an eighthgrader in the Lampeter-Strasburg School District, mastering the song “Let It Go” has been challenging, but she’s up for it.
“I’m definitely nervous about it, because it’s such a well-known song, so there’s a bit of pressure,” she said. “But it’s also really fun to sing it, especially in your own way. Getting to sing it my own way is super fun.”
She’s also working hard on mastering a difficult quick change, when her regular dress transforms into Elsa’s snow queen outfit during the song.
“The quick change is kind of stressful, but at the same time, it’s going to be so fun and cool, especially for the little ones in the audience to be like, ‘Whoa! How’d
she do that?’” she said.
“Frozen JR.” features a cast of more than 50 students and is part of
the theater’s Children’s Workshop programming. Students range in age from

complimentary ice cream from Kreider Farms while supplies last.
Live entertainment will be provided by Blessing & Fowler from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Comprising musicians Zach Blessing and Nate Fowler, the duo performs soulful tunes and classic hits throughout central Pennsylvania. The event will also feature a live broadcast from WJTL from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and local mascots Johnny from Achenbach’s Pastries and Cylo from the Lancaster Stormers will make an appearance.
The open house will feature a variety of yard games and activities for children, including face painting and balloon twisting, and Cherry Hill Orchards will provide pumpkins for kids to decorate.
Guests may participate in several prize drawings during the open house, and prizes will include items and experiences donated by local businesses such as an espresso machine from Martin Appliances and a zip lining experience from Refreshing Mountain Retreat and Adventure Center. The prize drawing will also feature tickets to local attractions such as
American Music Theatre, Field of Screams, Decades and Go ‘N Bananas.
Attendees will have an opportunity to look behind the scenes at EPC during a self-guided tour of the plant, which will offer a close-up look at each department and how the company’s publications, including weekly newspapers, are made.
Multiple community organizations and local first responders will be present at the open house, including a firetruck from West Hempfield Fire & Rescue, an officer from East Hempfield Township Police Department and the Lancaster County 4-H Seeing Eye Puppy Club. Representatives from local chambers of commerce serving Lancaster, including the Lancaster Chamber, the Mount Joy Area Chamber, the Southern Lancaster County Chamber and Northern Lancaster County Chamber, will also be in attendance.
“In the third generation of this company, it’s important for us to continue the legacy of what was started,” said Jocelyn Engle, EPC’s publisher. “It’s all about supporting local

Lots of old-fashioned activities and demonstrations will take place throughout the weekend, Tonya said.
“We’ll have both Civil War and Revolutionary War re-enactors. There will be somebody pressing cider.
There’s a shingle mill, a sawmill and a blacksmith,” she commented. “We will have all kinds of hit and miss engines. They might be shelling corn or running water.”
As volunteer Ron Bernhard explained, hit and miss engines had their heyday in the late 1800s through the 1930s. “The engines fire, and then they coast,” said Ron, who collects the equipment. “They are belt driven, and they were used all over farms.”

A kids’ zone will feature old-fashioned games organized by a local church, and additional kids’ activities will include barrel train rides, corn sandboxes and rides to a pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin.
“We have a lot of craft vendors, and many of them have been coming back for years,” said volunteer Sandy Baker. “We have vendors who sell soap. We
have a woman who makes embroidered items. We’ll have a Tastefully Simple vendor.”
Homemade food is also a highlight of the event, said volunteer Jolynn Bernhard.
“We have home-churned ice cream, apple dumplings, whoopie pies,” she shared. “We have lots of food stands.”
The Lions Club will host a new food stand featuring half-chickens, Ron said, with proceeds going to support future old-fashioned days. “All of the money we raise, through the auction and everything else, goes right back into the show so we can keep this going year after year,” Tonya remarked.
The Bernhards have been helping to organize the event for decades, and they said they look forward to it every year.
“It’s just rewarding to see all the families there,”
Ron stated. “Even if people don’t have much interest in the hit and miss engines, which is my thing, there are so many other things for them to see and do. We get so much positive feedback, so it’s rewarding that way.”
Jolynn noted that some families have been coming back year after year. “We have so many generations that come to this,” she said. “We’ll have a lot of three- and four-generation families.”
Ron encourages everyone to come out for at least one of the days, noting that admission and parking are free.
Added Tonya, “It’s a very family-oriented event. People will show you how things were done back then. If you’re watching a demonstration and you have questions, you can ask the demonstrators, and they will be more than happy to talk to you about what they’re doing.”

Along with characters made famous in the movie, the stage show includes a dance ensemble called the Snow Chorus, Brielle shared. “They follow me through almost all my songs,” she said. “They do a lot of fun, beautiful, elegant dancing.”
Many of the students in the production, including
Brielle and Jordyn, have participated in Susquehanna Stage’s workshop performances before.
“It’s so fun being a part of this theater,” stated Jordyn, an eighth-grader who attends Donegal Junior High School. “Anything we do here is so fun.”
Added Brielle, “If your kid ever expressed wanting to do something like
this or loves singing, loves acting, I would definitely recommend starting here because it’s such a fun experience.”
Both girls invite audiences to come to the show for an entertaining hour of singing and dancing on stage.
“If you grew up watching the movie, it’s really fun to see it come to life on stage,” Jordyn said. “It’s definitely
a family show, so if you have children, come see it. Who doesn’t love ‘Frozen’?”
“Frozen JR.” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, Sept. 13, 14, 20 and 21, as well as at 2 p.m. on Sept. 14 and 21 and Sunday, Sept. 15. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.susquehanna stage.com.

Fall Afresh is hosted by The Well Ministries, a nonprofit organization with the goal of promoting music and giving artists the chance to perform in front of people. The event began on a much smaller scale at a local farm but has since grown into a community-wide celebration.
“All of us on the board

This year’s festivities will feature more musical performers than last year, she said, and will feature free bottled water and popcorn during the event while
supplies last. Musical performers will include Elijah Myers, Awake Collective and the worship team from Encounter Church in Palmyra.
Fall Afresh would not be possible without the generosity of sponsors, Lehman noted. This year’s event is sponsored by Top Hat Fibers and Sewing and Phillip Stumpf, Realtor with Kingsway Realty, among others.
