Encounter Church slates annual Harvest Party
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
Encounter Church will host its annual Harvest Party from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Southern End Community Association’s park, 299 Park Ave., Quarryville. The free community celebration will include live music and a variety of activities for children and adults to enjoy, and it will be attended by several local ministries and nonprofit organizations. Attendees may participate in activities such as face painting, pumpkin painting and various carnival rides. Harvest Party will also feature a mechanical bull for guests to ride. Live music, offered by worship teams from Encounter Church and Wesley Church, will start at 2 p.m.
This year, Encounter Church has partnered with other local
churches and community service organizations such as Wesley Church, Solid Rock Youth Ministries, New Hope Community Life Ministry, Align Life Ministries and Solanco Neighborhood Ministries to organize the event. Blessings of Hope, a nonprofit that seeks to combat food insecurity throughout Lancaster County, will give out free boxes of food to attendees of Harvest Party. There will be no requirements to receive a box of food.
This is the fifth year Encounter Church has organized Harvest Party. The community event is the brainchild of Annamarie Dixon, who has served as the church’s children’s ministry director for the last seven years. Dixon moved from Baltimore to Quarryville in 2016, but she became involved with community outreach a few years prior.

This year, Lancaster County Community Foundation (LCCF) is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The organization has used its centennial as an opportunity to reflect on its past and chart a course for the future with a yearlong series of community events, which will conclude with Protecting Our Planet on Thursday, Oct. 17. The free community event will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Farm at Eagles Ridge,
465 Long Lane, Lancaster, and it will highlight environmental issues that are specific to the area, as well as local organizations working to find solutions.
“Protecting Our Planet is the culmination of the whole year’s celebration and more than $1 million given out in awards and scholarships,” said Val Schade, LCCF’s communications manager. “It’s about how we can come together to protect natural resources and address unique environmental challenges.”
Encounter Church’s children’s ministry team and participants invite the community to celebrate the start of fall at the Harvest Party.
The Autumn Daze exhibit will showcase decorated, papier-mâché pumpkins from LCAA’s annual Great Pumpkin Challenge.

Dixon found her calling in children’s ministries after she visited Baltimore city with faith-based outreach group Convoy of Hope. “I volunteered for the kids’ area, and I dressed up as a giant alligator,” Dixon said. “It was one of those moments I realized what I wanted to do with my life.”
Dixon and her husband decided to move to Quarryville after visiting Raeanne Nixon, Dixon’s close friend and the executive director of Solid Rock Youth Ministries. Dixon became an active member of Encounter Church, and she served as a volunteer for one year before the church offered her a position as the children’s ministry director. “When I became director, the Harvest Party was the first thing I wanted to do,” said Dixon. “I wanted to let the town know that we believe they’re important and offer a fun day for the community.”
The first Harvest Party was a small gathering that Encounter Church hosted on its own, but the event has steadily grown to include new activities and partnerships with several local organizations. “The Lord keeps growing it, and more and more people are catching the vision,” Dixon said.
Encounter Church will continue its community outreach efforts on Thursday, Oct. 31, when it will set up stations throughout Quarryville to offer hot chocolate, goodie bags, Bibles and craft activities to trick-or-treaters.

Maintaining older vehicles
New cars have been costly for quite some time, so motorists may wonder how they can get more mileage out of their existing vehicles.
Drivers can take the following steps to keep their existing cars running smoothly for years to come.
the pandemic, many people learned that infrequent driving can cause a timing belt to fail before it reaches the projected mile marker. Aging drivers should keep this fact in mind if they do not drive as much as they used to.
than they would if their vehicles were brand new. These checks also provide a way to discover leaks before they lead to potentially significant issues.
- Take care of the timing belt. Engines may get all the glory, but they cannot run smoothly without a fully functional timing belt, which helps to synchronize movements of various components. Owner’s manuals may note when to replace the timing belt, but they generally must be replaced every 60,000 to 105,000 miles. Although replacement is required infrequently, drivers can ask their mechanics to keep an eye on their timing belts. During the early months of
- Take care of the brakes and associated components. The experts at Popular Mechanics urge drivers of older vehicles to replace their brake fluid every two years. Popular Mechanics also advises drivers whose cars are more than seven years old to replace the rubber brake lines when major brake work is required.
- Pay attention to oil levels. The older engines get, the more oil they burn. For this reason, owners of older vehicles should check their oil levels more often
- Don’t skip maintenance appointments. Even if you’re still driving less due to the pandemic, it’s best to keep up with maintenance on any car, especially if the car is older. Routine tune-ups and oil changes, which may need to become more frequent the older the vehicle gets, can keep cars running smoothly and protect the engine over the long haul. The rising cost of new cars may compel people to keep their cars longer than they might have anticipated. A few simple maintenance measures may help to prolong the life of a vehicle.
Four signs tires need to be replaced
Cars are a significant investment, which underscores the importance of vehicle maintenance. Maintenance is more than just tending to what’s under the hood. Tires also require drivers’ attention, as aging, damaged tires pose a safety risk and also compromise vehicle performance. Tires can be easily overlooked, but the following are four signs tires need to be replaced.
1. Worn tread: The automotive experts at AutoZone note that tread depth is the most prevalent indicator that a tire needs to be replaced. AutoZone notes that tread depth should always be at least 1/16 of an inch throughout the tire. Depth should be measured across the tread and around the circumference. If the tread is at or below 1/16 of an inch, the tire should be replaced.
2. Bulges, gouges, or cracks: Geico notes that a deflated tire bulges at the sides, and that can compromise the safety of everyone in the vehicle. AutoZone says bulges occur when air gets between the inner liner
and outer rubber layers, which can happen after hitting a curb or driving over a sizable pothole. A gouge or cut that is deeper than the outer layer of the tire also necessitates replacement.
3. Poor grip: Drivers may be able to feel certain tire problems, including poor grip, while driving. In such instances, tires may feel as though they are slipping.
The tire experts at Firestone note that low tread can reduce tire traction and cause wheels to slip, which may be more noticeable when accelerating from a stop or driving on wet roads. Drivers who feel their tires are slipping can test the tread and replace tires that are low.
4. Vibration: Vibration is another issue drivers may
feel rather than see. Identifying the cause requires noting where the vibrations are felt. Geico notes that vibration or thumping that feels like it’s coming from under the seats may indicate the tires are not balanced. A suspension issue could be to blame if the steering wheel feels like it’s vibrating. Either feeling should be brought to the attention of a mechanic immediately.
Tire issues affect vehicle performance and compromise the safety of drivers, their passengers, and fellow motorists. When vehicles are not performing at peak capacity, drivers should not overlook various tire issues as a potential cause of such troubles.

proceeds will benefit LCAA and its various programs and exhibits in Strasburg, which highlight the work of member artists from areas such as Willow Street, Ephrata and Hempfield.
Admission and parking will be free, and the location of the 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.
