All things Pennsylvania

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Community members are invited to discover or rediscover many of the events, museums, attractions and getaways that Pennsylvania has to offer at the fifth annual PA Family Travel Fair, to be held on Saturday, April 15, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Calvary Church in Lancaster. The event, hosted by Where & When Pennsylvania, will also feature children’s activities, entertainment and food.

Those who visit the travel fair will also have opportunities to win prizes, including vacation packages. “The first 500 (attendees) will get a goodie bag to collect all of their swag from all of the vendors,” said Rachel Stebbins, marketing director at Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc., one of the

Middletown Band Boosters to present craft fair

BY FRANCINE FULTON

The Middletown Band Booster Association will present its first craft fair, featuring more than 60 vendors, at Middletown Area High School, 1155 N. Union St., Middletown, on Saturday, April 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free, and food concessions will be available for sale.

Crafters will be located in the school cafeteria and surrounding hallways. The craft vendors will offer a variety of items for sale such as skin care products, specialty soaps, handmade candles, quilted and knitted items, dog and cat items, baked goods and seasonal décor as well as fine woodworking, jewelry, fused glass and resin home décor.

event organizers. “There is a lot of opportunity throughout the event to register for prizes. Almost all of the vendors are bringing prizes to give away.” The grand prize will be a family getaway provided by the Endless Mountains Visitors Bureau.

The event focuses on providing information about family-friendly activities that are available throughout the entire state, including locally in Lancaster County and as far away as the northern tier of Pennsylvania.

“When you are talking to vendors, they are not trying to sell you things. They are just providing information,” Stebbins emphasized. “The visitor’s bureaus will represent a lot of the (sites) in their areas, but we also have (representatives of) specific attractions that are coming to talk specifically about their places.”

Entertainment will include a magic show at noon by Papa Tater Magical Family Entertainment and a live show at 2 p.m. by Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland. Echo the Bat from Lincoln Caverns and Chipper from Herr Foods Inc. will greet visitors, and the Kids Cookie Break radio show will be on-site doing live interviews. Visitors will also be able to meet friendly service dogs from Keystone Pet Enhanced Therapy Services (KPETS).

Food trucks will be available offering breakfast and lunch, as well as snacks and ice cream. New this year will be Joe on the GO Coffee Co., which will offer coffee, tea and breakfast selections.

Stebbins hopes that people will attend the event to learn about local attractions they may not even

be aware of. “It’s nice to have options with what you can do without having to travel really far,” she stated. “You can have a nice, long weekend or you can go out and do some of these activities and be home at night because it’s just that close. People often don’t realize what is right around them.”

Calvary Church is located at 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster. Admission to and parking at the PA Family Travel Fair are free. The event will be held rain or shine. For more information, including a complete list of exhibitors, food trucks, activities and giveaways, visit www.pafamilytravel.com. More information is also available at www.facebook.com/PAFamily TravelFair and www.instagram.com /pafamilytravelfair

In addition, shoppers will have an opportunity to win craft items that have been donated by the participating vendors.

Proceeds from the craft fair, the food concessions and the prize drawings will be used by the boosters to fund the cost of a new, larger band trailer for the high school’s Blue Wave Marching Band. “The current trailer has been a fixture of the band since 1996, and we’ve outgrown it,” said Becky Carpenter, association president. “This fall, the band had to take two trucks with trailers as well as a box

Carpenter said that the help came even though students from Middletown and Lower Dauphin high schools are rivals on the playing field. “(The two schools play each other) as the first football game each year,” Carpenter noted. “But when you are in the band community, everyone pitches in to help. If we can help another organization, we all do.”

“The Hunt for Jesus”

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Children will be able to learn about the Easter story and enjoy an Easter egg hunt as part of “The Hunt for Jesus!” program that will be presented at Middletown First Church of God on Saturday, April 8, beginning at 11 a.m. Egg hunts for children up to fifth grade will begin at 1 p.m., and a light lunch will be available beforehand. All activities are free and open to the community.

According to congregation member Patty Kuharic, one of the event organizers, several interactive stations will illustrate Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. Stations will begin at 11 a.m. and run continuously through 12:45 p.m.

One of the stations will depict “Jesus as the Good Shepherd,” and it will include live animals, including sheep and lambs. At another station, themed “Jesus, the Bread of Life,” children will bake miniature loaves of bread. They will be able to take the bread home with them at the conclusion of the program.

“Jesus, Our Rock” will be explored at another station, where there will be a small rock climbing wall in the fellowship hall. Children will also decorate rocks to take home.

For the “Jesus as the Light of the World” station, children will travel through a maze. “Someone will take them through in the dark and then we will give them miniature flashlights (to go through the maze again), and they can notice the difference between the dark and the light,” explained Kuharic.

Another station depicting “Jesus as the Son of God” will feature Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist in the

church’s submersion pool.

At the “Jesus as Savior” station, children will learn about sin, and they will be asked to write down one thing that they are sorry for on a small piece of paper and place it on a cross in the church sanctuary. The final station will be in the Sunday school room, where there will be angels and an empty tomb signifying that Jesus has risen.

“It takes about an hour to go through all the stations. Then there will be time for outdoor activities,” Kuharic noted.

For the Easter egg hunt,

children will be divided by age group. In preparation for the event, church volunteers are currently filling thousands of plastic Easter eggs with candy that children will be able to search for on the church property.

The event will be held rain or shine. Middletown First Church of God is located at 245 W. High St., Middletown. For more information, contact the church at 717-944-9608 or mdtcog@comcast.net or visit www.middletowncog.org or www.facebook.com/middle towncog.

The church parking lot is located behind the church off Spruce Street. Attendees should enter the church from the parking lot entrance.

This spring, the Audubon Society will offer four Warbler Walks. Attendees will seek to identify these migrating birds, which can be difficult to spot and identify.

The first event will take place on Saturday, April 29, by Obie and Michters roads. Participants should meet at 7:30 a.m. on Rexmont Road at the Old Rexmont Dam parking lot, just past and across from white corral fencing. This is

The Quittapahilla Audubon Society will hold its 37th annual banquet at Hebron Banquet Hall on Tuesday, May 23.

Joan Maloof will present “The Healthiest Forest: What Science Says About Old Growth and Why It Matters for Birds.” Maloof will discuss how forests of different ages support different bird species and why forests in their natural condition can support the full structural characteristics needed by forest dwelling bird species. Maloof will also discuss the condition of the Earth’s forests and what people can do to save habitat for all species. Maloof is an ecologist with a doctorate, an author of four books, and the founder of the Old-Growth Forest Network. Copies of books will be available for sale and signing.

Reservations are required, and forms can be printed from the spring newsletter available at www.qasaudubon.org. Forms should be sent by Sunday, May 14.

Grange to offer scholarships

The Pennsylvania State Grange announced that members in good standing have the opportunity to receive educational assistance through several Pennsylvania Grange Foundation scholarship and loan programs this spring. Through this financial assistance, the Grange hopes to promote studies in agriculture and related fields with the goal of further supporting rural communities and bolstering local Granges. Several scholarships are available.

Established in 1996 by state delegate action, the Pennsylvania State Grange Foundation Scholarship is available to students entering their junior or senior year in college, and financial need must be demonstrated. Applicants are eligible to apply for a $500 scholarship each year, for a maximum of two years. Up to four scholarships will be awarded.

The Deaf Interpreter Scholarship is open to individuals enrolled in a credible program leading to certification as an interpreter for the deaf. The Grange will award a $250 grant each year.

The Grange Scholarship Endowment at Penn State University recognizes the outstanding work of an undergraduate student enrolled in his or her sophomore, junior, or senior year at any campus of Pennsylvania State University. Applicants must demonstrate financial need. The recipient of this scholarship will be selected by the Penn State Office of Student Aid Scholarship Committee from nominees named by the Pennsylvania State Grange Scholarship Committee. The

$1,500 scholarship will be awarded for one academic year and may be renewed for subsequent years provided the recipient continues to meet the conditions of eligibility and no other eligible students are identified.

The Rhone Grant is given in honor of Leonard Rhone, the third Master of the Pennsylvania State Grange. This grant is available to students pursuing a degree in agriculture or human development and family services at Penn State University. One scholarship in the amount of $300 will be available each year. Eligible candidates must be a member in good standing and secure a recommendation from both the master of their Subordinate and Pomona Granges.

Santee Student Loans were established by Ellis M. Santee, an active Grange member and rural doctor, to help Grange members obtain an education. Grange members or their children may apply for one of five $2,000 loans if they are a full-time student at any institution accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). If selected, students will be required to sign a promissory note to receive the loan. Repayment of this interest-free loan shall begin within six months of graduating or leaving school. The minimum repayment requirement is $30 per month per $1,000 borrowed, payable over a three-year period.

Roasted lamb with asparagus

Easter is steeped in traditions, including family meals, and roasted lamb is an Easter Sunday classic. This recipe for Roasted Lamb with Roasted Asparagus from “Feast of the Seven Fishes: A Brooklyn Italian’s Recipes Celebrating Food & Family” by Daniel Paterna can serve as an Easter entrée.

Roasted Lamb with Roasted Asparagus (Serves8to10)

Lamb:

1 leg of lamb or loin of lamb, about

4 to 5 pounds

5 garlic cloves, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cups dry white wine

1 fresh bay leaf

4 sprigs fresh rosemary

4 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions:

1 - Cut small slits in the meat of the lamb with a sharp paring knife. Insert a slice of the garlic into each slit. Place the lamb in a large, sealable plastic bag, and add the olive oil, 2 cups white wine, the bay leaf, the rosemary, the thyme, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag tightly and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 12 hours.

2 - Remove the lamb from the fridge the next day, at least 4 hours before roasting. Keep the lamb sealed in the marinade bag and allow it to come to room temperature.

3 - Heat the oven to 400 degrees

Art awards

Fahrenheit. Remove the lamb from the bag with marinade. Place it on a rack in a roasting pan. Add 2 cups of wine. Roast for 1 1/2 hours or until the thermometer reads 150 to 160 degrees. Baste with drippings while roasting. Serve warm.

Asparagus:

4 pounds of asparagus, remove woody ends

2 cups coarse bread crumbs

1 cup grated Romano cheese

2 tablespoons garlic powder

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 large eggs

Sea salt, to taste

Directions:

1 - Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2 - Place the bread crumbs, cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper in a dish or bowl wide enough to hold the asparagus. Mix well to combine thoroughly.

3 - Put the eggs in another dish or bowl of similar size and beat well. Working in batches, dip the spears into the egg, making sure they are coated well. Immediately place them in the bread crumb mixture and toss until each spear is fully coated. Transfer the breaded asparagus to a large baking sheet.

4 - Place the asparagus in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the breading is browned and crispy. Serve with wedges of fresh lemon. Add sea salt if desired.
