Pennsylvania has a long history with apples and the many delicious products made with them. Americans have enjoyed the fruit for centuries, making dumplings, pies and butter after colonists brought apple seeds from Europe in the 16th century. Once a hardy staple of early settlers’ diets, apple products now serve as popular delicacies that are typically enjoyed in the fall.
This year, the East Petersburg Historical Society (EPHS) will celebrate the arrival of autumn and its appley treats with its first Apple Fest on Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Daniel Wolf Museum, 1905 State St., East Petersburg. The free community event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and it will feature a variety of apple-themed activities and refreshments.
Activities will include apple beanbag toss, apple bobbing and various stations for kids to make crafts to bring home. Refreshments such as apple fritters, apple pie, apple dumplings and hot dogs will be available to purchase, and EPHS will sell fresh, pasteurized apple cider made with an antique apple cider press. EPHS members will also hold cidermaking demonstrations with the press, and small, unpasteurized samples will be offered to guests free of charge.
The antique apple cider press is part of the museum’s collection of historically significant items. The contraption dates to the 19th century, and it was donated to the museum by the father of EPHS president Samuel Maurer IV. The press originally belonged to
Samuel’s grandfather. “The press has been in my family for more than 80 years,” Samuel said.
“We’re cleaning it up right now to have it out in the backyard for Apple Fest.” The idea of hosting a new apple-themed event was suggested by Amber Maurer, a recent addition to the EPHS board and Samuel’s daughter-in-law. “We’ll
use the press to show how it’s done and offer free samples; that way people can taste what we’re making,” Samuel added.
The Daniel Wolf Museum will be open for self-guided tours during Apple Fest. Visitors may browse the museum’s various displays and artifacts from the surrounding area, including

This year, Lancaster County Community Foundation (LCCF) is celebrating its 100th anniversary.

Representatives from Lancaster Farmland Trust will talk about the organization’s efforts to preserve local farmland, which loses 3,000 acres to

rain-or-shine event is handicapped-accessible. Nearly 40 artists and crafters will show their work at different booths, and LCAA will exhibit a collection of pieces from its members who may not have enough artworks to have their own booths. Participating members will have an opportunity to showcase one to four original, framed pieces, and each submission will be available to purchase and eligible for an award during the juried show.
Participating artists will display artworks from a variety of mediums at their booths, including photography, jewelry, glasswork and wood sculptures. The event will also feature the work of artists who use watercolors, oil paints and
acrylic paints.
Patricia Keller, a Landisville resident and longstanding LCAA member, said the organization hopes to make the craft show an annual fundraiser. Previously, LCAA held several small fundraisers such as bake sales throughout the year, but the nonprofit decided to start a new tradition of hosting a larger event to help cover its general operating expenses. Proceeds from the Lancaster Fine Art & Craft Show will also help LCAA fund various projects at its building, including roof repairs and ongoing maintenance needs.
For more than 85 years, LCAA has offered educational art programs and
regular exhibits for local artists to display their work. The organization hosts shows for its members every month, as well as various seasonal and themed exhibits. The Autumn Daze exhibit will take place from Sunday, Oct. 27, to Thursday, Nov. 14, in the Kauffman Gallery and the Steinmetz Gallery at LCAA. The exhibit, which is open to both members and nonmembers, will feature a variety of autumn-themed artworks in addition to papier-mâché sculptures decorated for the annual Great Pumpkin Challenge. LCAA offers a variety of art courses and workshops to both members and nonmembers from the community. The first session of “Advancing Your Water-
color Process,” a workshop led by Karen Frattali, is currently being held at LCAA. The second session will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 29, and classes will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Tuesday until Nov. 19. During the first hour of each session, Frattali will explain fundamental watercolor techniques and hold demonstrations for beginners. Advanced students may arrive at the start of the workshop’s second hour for individual instruction and to ask questions. The third hour will be tailored to seasoned watercolor painters. Registration must be completed online by Tuesday, Oct. 22. For more information or to register for a class, visit www.lcaaonline.org.
Ware Center plans First Friday events
The Arts at Millersville University will join Lancaster city’s First Friday celebrations with We the People First Friday on Oct. 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Ware Center, 42 N. Prince St., Lancaster. At 6:30 p.m. in Steinman Hall, Lancaster-based theatrical group Teatro Paloma will present the stage play “Fade,” written by Tanya Saracho and directed by Chris Aviles. When Lucia, a Mexican-born novelist, gets her first TV writing job, she feels a bit out of place on the white male-dominated set. Lucia quickly becomes friends with the only other Latino around, a janitor named Abel. As Abel shares his stories with Lucia, similar plots begin to find their way into the TV scripts
that Lucia writes. “Fade” is a play about class and race within the Latinx community and beyond and how status does not change who people are at their core.
In the Regitz Gallery, a reception will celebrate the opening of the exhibit “Tabletop Still Lifes” by artist Douglas Anderson. Showing the transient nature of life, the still life captures a moment in time that will never be seen the same way again. Using acrylic on canvas, Anderson takes traditional stilllife subjects and infuses them with his own sense of humor. The exhibit will be on display until Oct. 25.
As part of We the People First Fridays, Millersville University’s Ware Center hosts community-centered performances and
The event will feature artworks from a variety of mediums, including oil paintings, wood sculptures and jewelry.
