BY CAT SHANNON
Five years ago, Nickolas Sieber held an event to raise money for a cross-country trip. The experience awakened a passion for event planning in Sieber, and he’s since used that interest to help others.
“Organizing the volunteers, hanging decorations and preparing the food was more fun than I could have ever anticipated,” he said. “After my inaugural event, I was hooked. Since then, we transformed the dinners into a means of helping others. We have raised money for the Wounded Warrior Project; now-18-year-old Charlotte Funk, who was severely injured in a car accident; a local Lebanon County family in need; and this year, Trevor Higgins.”
Trevor, a 17-year-old senior at Hurricane High School in Utah, was involved in a dirt biking accident on Oct. 27, 2024. His injuries left him in the ICU with a long road of recovery ahead,
“It is a fun opportunity to dress to the nines while basking in the glow of a high-society evening.”
Sieber said. All proceeds from a candlelit formal dinner Sieber is organizing will be shared with the Higgins family. The dinner will be held at Trinity Lutheran
Church of Colebrook, 58 Church Road, Manheim, on Saturday, March 29, from 5 to 8:30 p.m.
The formal dinner will feature a homemade three-course meal in a decorated dining room, with live music by Miss Maybell and Charlie Judkins.
“A social hour will provide time to mingle with other attendees, enjoy live jazz music and even have a chance to win several door prizes,” Sieber said. The menu for the evening will include corn chowder and dinner rolls; roast beef served with a red wine au jus or horseradish cream sauce, herbroasted red-skin potatoes, and green bean casserole; and cheesecake with strawberry topping or pecan pie with vanilla ice cream.

For the past 18 months, Maisie Dorwart of Manheim has been preparing to say goodbye to a furry friend. As a puppy raiser with Canine Companions, Dorwart has worked with Cyprus, a black Labrador/golden retriever mix, since he was 8 weeks old, preparing him to take on the role of a service dog.
“My biggest goal as a puppy raiser was to socialize him, so he went everywhere with me - school, grocery store, restaurants, public transportation, etc.” she said. “We worked on basic commands and attended puppy class through Canine Companions’ Philadelphia chapter twice a month.”
Dorwart, who attends graduate school at Temple University, said Cyprus was a hit with students.
“The biggest highlight was seeing people light up every
time I brought him to campus,” she shared. “It was an opportunity to allow people to love on him and show how amazing he is, but also educate people on what service dogs do.”
But Dorwart’s time with Cyprus was temporary, and on Feb. 7, Dorwart and her family traveled to Medford, N.Y., where Cyprus participated in a

and the Wild West. “This year is a formal candlelit dinner, with participants encouraged to wear formal evening attire,” Sieber stated, noting that formal attire is not required.
“This year’s formal dinner is sure to be a blast while raising money for Trevor,” Sieber said. “Our incredibly talented musicians will perform two sets featuring early ragtime, blues, country and jazz music. It is a fun opportunity to dress to the nines while basking in the glow of a high-society evening. The food is always spectacular, and the fellowship is even better. It’s a special event that anyone won’t want to miss.”
He emphasized that he considers it an honor to help people in need, and he said it requires a team of volunteers who are as committed as he is to the cause to pull off a successful event.
“It takes an army to make these dinners happen, and I have been very fortunate to
have support from friends and family,” he said. “I have 12 volunteers arranged for this year’s dinner, and all of them have devoted countless hours of their time to support this endeavor. It is a very rewarding event, and I look forward to hosting it every year.”

Hooked on the outdoors
BY CAT SHANNON
Anyone who loves getting outside in nature should make plans to attend the Donegal Fish & Conservation Association’s (DFCA) Spring Outdoor Show. The event will be held on Saturday, March 15, at Maytown-East Donegal Fire Department, 160 E. High St., Maytown. It will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The show will feature a variety of outdoor groups sharing what they do and how to participate, said Charlie Hower, acting president of the DFCA.
“Fly tiers will be
demonstrating how to tie various flies and have them for sale,” he said. The show will also feature opportunities to buy and sell used hunting and fishing equipment, beef jerky for sale, fireworks for sale, Native American artifacts on display, information about local fishing clubs, woodworking and metalworking displays and much more. Participating organizations will include Chiques Rock Outfitters, conservation groups, the Pennsylvania Trappers Association, Precious Paws Community Cats and Boy and Girl Scout troops.
Additionally, food from Harvey’s Main Street BBQ will be for sale. Tickets may be purchased in advance from a member of the DFCA, or meals may be purchased at the event while supplies last.
DFCA has been holding an outdoor show for six decades. “Donegal Fish and Conservation Association is a 501(c)(3) club that has been around for 60 years, started by Ken Depoe and others to stock and raise trout for the Donegal Creek,” Hower shared. “We have fisherpersons visit Donegal Creek from all over the country and enjoy the
surroundings of the creek and the ability to be able to catch trout on a fly rod year-round.”
DFCA operates a cooperative nursery, raising and stocking 3,000 to 5,000 trout annually to stock Chiques Creek, Little Chiques Creek and Donegal Creek. The group also assists the state with stocking trout in other waterways.
“We stock several creeks for kids fishing derbies including the Conoy, Swarr Run and Donegal Presbyterian Church spring for our event coming up in April,”

Hower said. Volunteers also hold regular trash cleanups on local waters and in local parks, plant trees and maintain riparian buffers.
Proceeds from the DFCA’s outdoor show help the group pay for trout for stocking, fish food, the cost of running aerators and more, he said.
The show offers an opportunity to explore outdoor opportunities in the region and to promote the vision of the DFCA.
Holding it in the fire company’s building also supports that community effort.
“We have a mission to get adults and kids alike to participate in trout fishing on a local creek,” Hower remarked. “(This is) a great day to explore new adventures and communicate with the fire department volunteers and what they bring to the community.”

PA Preferred highlights local touch
The benefits of buying local are many. In addition to financially supporting the region’s economy, buying local gives shoppers the opportunity to obtain fresh goods, including produce and dairy and meat products.
Thanks to PA Preferred, which was launched in 2004 as a brand identity for farm-
ers and agribusinesses, it’s easy for consumers to identify and purchase agricultural goods that have been grown and processed in Pennsylvania. The PA Preferred Act was signed into law in 2011, officially making PA Preferred the commonwealth’s branding initiative for local food and farms.
Products marked with the PA Preferred logo, or the ingredients used to make them, have been grown, harvested, or produced in Pennsylvania. When shoppers choose PA Preferred products, they have assurance that they are providing direct support to Pennsylvania farmers and agribusinesses, all while
helping to strengthen the state’s economy.
PA Preferred also offers several other programs, including Homegrown by Heroes and Farm to School.
Homegrown by Heroes was founded by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture in 2013 and was implemented in Pennsylvania in 2015 for PA Preferred members who are also veterans. The
March 18
program features its own logo, which these members can add to their products.
The Homegrown by Heroes designation differentiates veteran-owned farms and agribusinesses and allows consumers to intentionally support them. To learn more, visit www.papreferred.com/ homegrown-by-heroes.
Farm to School features hands-on learning connected to food, health, agriculture, and nutrition while build-
ing family and community engagement. It offers educational components, activities such as school gardens, and local foods for school cafeterias. To learn about applying for a Farm to School Grant, visit www.agriculture .pa.gov/Funding/Farmbill/ Pages/Farm-to-School -Grant.aspx.

Discover Lancaster
tourists visited Lancaster County, generating $3.4 billion in economic impact and helping to employ 26,000 people in the tourism-related businesses in the areas of attractions, lodging, dining and retail.
“It’s pretty safe to say that Lancaster County is in the top five in the state in terms of number of visitors and visitor spending,” said Cliff. “We’ve broadened the message about what there’s to do in Lancaster County. There are a lot of cool, neat experiences and recreational activities. We’re still changing. We’re continuing to grow. We have a wide geography and a wide demography that we draw from.”
A vast majority of visitors - about 75% - coming to Lancaster County as a destination hail from the metropolitan markets of Philadelphia; New York and Long Island; and Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. For some, it’s a day trip or an overnight stay. For others, it’s a threeor four-night getaway or a weeklong vacation.
They’re coming here for the Amish experience; outlet shopping; historic hidden gems; family attractions; main street shopping found in places like Lititz, Ephrata or Mount Joy; art galleries; wineries, breweries and coffee shops; theater; events; farmers markets; and museums.
“It’s a different experience for people coming from big metropolitan areas,” said Cliff. “It’s folks who know and love the Amish culture, but you also have families coming for attractions like Dutch Wonderland. We certainly draw well with adults and families. Where we’ve been lacking is in that 30s-to40s age group.”

matriculation ceremony with about 35 other service dogs.
employs 14 full-time staff members and eight part-time travel consultants. Discover Lancaster promotes local tourism through straight-up marketing; sales teams working to bring meetings, conventions and sports teams to the area; and public relations.
“There’s a real quality of life enhancement piece to it,” said Cliff. “It does have that ripple effect to the community and their suppliers. A lot of the things we trumpet are attractive to people thinking about relocating a business here, or a doctor or professor who is being recruited to work in Lancaster County. It’s a great place to come and play, but it’s also a great place to come and work. We also have a sizeable retirement community in the county.”
There are lot of things to see and do in Lancaster County.
“We certainly hold our own,” said Cliff. “We don’t have an ocean. But we have a lot to do besides that.”
Discover Lancaster receives about 75% of its funding from the Lancaster County hotel tax. In 2015, Discover Lancaster was formed from the former Pennsylvania Dutch Convention and Business Bureau, whose roots can be traced to the 1930s and the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce.
“We definitely very much consider locals in the things we do,” said Cliff. “Locals use our resources as much as visitors do. Locals love Lancaster County. Local tourism is a very important part of what we do, kind of like ‘Get out and enjoy what’s in our backyard.’”

“The matriculation ceremony was full of so many different emotions!” Dorwart recalled. “During the ceremony, we get to see service dogs and their puppy raisers hand over the leash to the individual who got matched with a Canine Companions service dog. This part of the day made everything worth it and was so amazing to see the pure happiness these dogs bring to their forever people!”
Letting go of her furry friend was hard, she said.
“Saying bye to Cyprus was not an easy task. However, I got to meet his trainer, who is going to spend the next six to nine months with him and train him to be the best service dog,” she remarked. “We get monthly progress reports, so I am really looking forward to receiving my first one and to check in with how he is doing.” During this next phase of training, Cyprus will learn more than 40 advanced commands, working with a professional trainer before being placed with a person in need.
If all goes according to plan, Dorwart and her family will be invited back to his graduation ceremony later this year and will be able to spend time with Cyprus and meet the person he’s been matched with.
Even though saying
goodbye was difficult, Dorwart encourages anyone with an interest in learning more to consider becoming a puppy raiser.
“Although we obviously get attached to the dog and we raise them for a year and a half, I would encourage everyone to watch a graduation ceremony where individuals are being handed their dog who is going to change their life forever,” she said. “It is really eye-opening to see how much of an impact these dogs make, and it is really evident during the graduation ceremony.”
Dorwart plans to attend Cyprus’ graduation, and she was so happy with her turn as a puppy raiser, she’s eager to do it again.
Currently getting ready for her own graduation, she has a busy schedule in the near future, but she’s not done with dogs just yet.
“I plan on raising my next Canine Companions puppy once I graduate,” she said. “In the future, once I am settled in my career, I would love to have a Canine Companions facility dog to help with my work as a speech language pathologist.”
Until then, she’s focused on the impact Cyprus will make in the life of someone else.
“It has been an adjustment not having him by my side since he went everywhere with me,” she said, “but I know he is doing great things.”
