Make Time for Lancaster Watch Weekend BY CAT SHANNON
Lancaster County has a rich horological history (and for the layperson, that means “having to do with measuring time”). Now that history will be celebrated during the inaugural Lancaster Watch Weekend, happening from Friday, Sept. 26, through Sunday, Sept. 28. “For most of the 20th century, Lancaster, Pa., was one of the most R121607

At St. John’s Herr Estate’s annual Fall Fest, you never know what you’ll find - maybe a $5 TV, a singing Chihuahua, or just a whole lot of laughter. Part indoor yard sale, part bake sale and allaround good time, the event is as much about fun and fellowship as it is about bargains. The Fall Fest will be held on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the community, 200 Luther Lane, Columbia. “ We have seasonal items, linens, a plethora of kitchen things, pocketbooks, toys, household items, jewelry,” said resident Carolyn Livingston, a member of the Fall Fest committee. “It’s probably the biggest sale of this kind around here. It’s all in one location. We have a lot of stuff. It’s good stuff, and it’s inexpensive.” R e s i d e n t a nd co m m i t te e m e m b e r A n d re a R o b i n s o n agreed, adding, “You name it, we have it for sale. Where else can you get a TV for $5?” The community’s chapel will serve as the hub for items, with framed artwork expanding out into the hallway and a separate area for books and baked goods, which are made by residents. Food prepared by St. John’s staff will be available for dine-in or takeout and will include homemade chicken corn soup, hot dogs, sloppy joes, chips and drinks. St. John’s has been holding Fall Fest for more than 20 years. Items are collected year-round from donations by residents and their families. Robinson and Livingston are members of a committee that sorts and prices the donations. They get See Fall Fest pg 2
