Discover Your Favorites at Kreutz Creek Library Sale

BY CAT SHANNON

As temperatures drop and days get shorter, it’s the perfect time to stay inside, curled up with a good book. And a perfect place to find your next read is the annual Kreutz Creek Library book sale.

The sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 26, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27, in the garage bays of the Hellam Township public works department, 45 Walnut Springs Road, York.

Books in all genres and for people of all ages will be featured, said Brent Peterman, Friends of Kreutz Creek Library president.

“We divide adult fiction into format types like hardcover, trade (high-quality softcover), paperback and large print,” he shared.

“We divide out large sections of romance fiction, inspirational

fiction (Amish, Christian) and sci-fi and fantasy. For the kids, we divide books into categories like board books, storybooks, junior chapter books and young adult novels.”

Nonfiction books are separated into more than 10 categories to allow shoppers to browse their areas of interest. Some of the topics

include arts, history and politics, nature, hobbies and sports.

“This year we have an especially large biography/memoirs selection,” Peterman noted. “We will have a large selection of cookbooks that range from international cuisine to old-time community recipe collections.”

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.”

Resident and committee member Andrea Robinson agreed, adding, “You name it, we have it for sale. Where else can you get a TV for $5?”

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

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

together for several hours every Saturday from March until the sale, and they love to keep things light and fun while they work. An animatronic Chihuahua that plays the maracas and sings “La Bamba” is their unofficial mascot while they work, and they always bring out a small plaque to place nearby that sums up their group perfectly, they said. It features small nuts affixed with googly eyes and the words, “Sometimes I think we are all nuts.”

“This is our motto to live by,” Livingston jokes. “It’s a lot of work to get ready for Fall Fest, but the same people keep coming back to help. We have a lot of fun.”

She noted that their committee of about 10 residents is just one of several groups who work together to pull off a successful event.

“There is a planning group. There’s a group that specifically does baking. There’s a library group,” she said. “There are a lot of groups that are working on this besides us doing the pricing.”

Proceeds from Fall Fest are used to support the St. John’s benevolent fund and are donated to local nonprofits, including Hands Across the Street in Columbia.

The Fall Fest is cash only. Parking is available in a large lot at St. John’s Herr Estate.

important watchmaking cities in the world,” said Amanda Okum, events coordinator for the National Watch & Clock Museum in Columbia, one of the organizers of the event. “In Lancaster, home of the Hamilton Watch Co., precision, innovation and mass production came together to create some of the finest mechanical timepieces ever made. Today, the world-renowned watchmakers and collectors in the county have created an exciting new hub of the wristwatch world.”

Lancaster Watch Weekend is open to everyone, though museum entry fees apply and some of the events require a reservation. Hosted by the National Watch & Clock Museum, Hamilton Watch Boutique, RGM Watch Co. and Brent Miller Jewelers, the three-day program will feature exhibits; horological experiences; guided tours; and presentations that celebrate the past, present and future of watchmaking.

Events will take place at the National Watch & Clock Museum, 514 Poplar St., Columbia; the Hamilton Watch Boutique in the historic Bowman building at 149 N. Duke St. in Lancaster; Brent Miller Jewelers at 1600 Manheim Pike in Lancaster; RGM Watch Co., 801 W. Main St., Mount Joy; and Clock Towers Condominiums, 917 Columbia Ave., Lancaster.

National organizations RedBar Group and the Horological Society of New York will also participate in the event, bringing their communities of collectors and watch lovers into the mix.

“The event’s sponsors have passionate clients and members from across the country, so guests from near and far are expected,” Okum shared.

“The event is the result of a collaboration of collector groups, watchmakers and retailers who want to highlight Lancaster’s historic role and growing relevance today in the watchmaking world.”

Highlights of the weekend will include a talk by Roland Murphy, founder of RGM Watch Co., who will share details about

watches seen in movies through the perspective of his own career, Okum said. Murphy will focus on watches seen in “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “The Muse,” “Dead Poets Society” and others. Rory McEvoy, executive director of the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors (NAWCC), will lead a behind-the-scenes event at the National Watch & Clock Museum to examine some rarely seen artifacts from Lancaster’s watchmaking history. At Clock Towers Condominiums, visitors can enjoy a tour of the old Hamilton Watch Company factory.

“This is more than just a watch event,” Murphy remarked. “It’s a celebration of craftsmanship, community and the remarkable horological legacy that lives on in Lancaster County.”

The National Watch & Clock Museum is run by the NAWCC, a nonprofit member organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the art and science of timekeeping. Recently updated and expanded displays include the Hamilton and Bulova exhibits, the history of wristwatches exhibit and the Public Time gallery.

“The National Watch & Clock Museum has the largest collection of watches and clocks in North America, with examples from across the globe and throughout the centuries,” Okum commented. “From weird and wonderful to complex and beautiful, these objects tell the fascinating story of the history, science and art of timekeeping.”

She encourages anyone with an interest in watches, clocks or history to check out activities during the weekend.

“Attendees can expect a unique, insider look at the wristwatch industry’s history and future, provided by those on the front lines of making, collecting and preserving watches,” she said. “This is the kind of event you’d expect in Philadelphia or New York, but we’re lucky to enjoy it here at home!”

Bazaar and Yard Sale Will Feature Treasures for a Bargain

BY CAT SHANNON

Mark your calendar for a treasure hunt on Saturday, Sept. 27. That’s the date of the annual bazaar and yard sale at Maytown Reformed United Church of Christ (UCC), 11 E. Elizabeth St., Maytown. The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

According to organizers, attendees can expect to find lots of like-new items in mint condition, all for a bargain.

“Yard sale items are varied and in good condition,” said Rev. Dr. Ronnette Comfort-Butler, pastor. “They include bedding, linens, holiday items, jewelry, books, toys, collectibles, furniture, framed pictures and signs, decorative items and many quality household items. There is something for everyone! This year’s items include many good quality antiques and unique artifacts.”

Free coffee and doughnuts will be available for shoppers, and there will be opportunities to purchase homemade baked goods or tickets to win giveaway baskets.

“The baskets are a variety of themed baskets,” Comfort-Butler said. “The winner will be drawn at 2 and does not need to be present to win.”

The church has been hosting the event for many years, but this year, organizers have made a

change to the pricing.

“With a few exceptions, all items are price by donation,” Comfort-Butler remarked.

Holding the event provides an opportunity for church members to connect with the greater community and raise funds for church projects.

“It is a mission of the church to be a visible outreach to the Maytown community,” Comfort-Butler said. “We have the bazaar every year to raise money for our missions and to provide good quality items for our community that are reasonably priced.”

Proceeds from the event are used to fund mission and community outreach programs of the church.

“In the past, we have supported Raise28, our local food bank, the Cherry Street Home, shutins in the community and various global and local missions,” Comfort-Butler shared. “We also address local needs as we are made aware of them. Each year we select different missions to support. At any time during the year, we add to this list as needed.”

Maytown Reformed UCC holds worship services on Sundays at 10 a.m. Live Zoom sessions are offered for people who are homebound. Intergenerational Sunday school is held at 9 a.m. Vespers service is held on Thursday on Zoom, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Scouts Earn Eagle Scout Award

Two Scouts from Troop 25 in East York have earned the Eagle Scout Award, the highest advancement rank in Scouts BSA. Rowan McWilliams and Henry Thome received their awards from Troop 25 Scoutmaster Perry Bevivino during Troop 25’s Court of Honor held on Feb. 11 at Advent Lutheran Church in York.

For his Eagle Scout service project, Rowan, son of Tim and Kristine McWilliams, hosted a blood and food drive called Life Factory at Central York Middle School. The event involved hosting recruitment meetings, recruiting donors, recruiting volunteers, and managing the site on the day of the drive. The drive hosted 73 attempted donations and 67 successful ones, and the project took 147 total hours to complete for Rowan and his friends, family members, and fellow Scouts.

Starting as a Tiger Cub, Rowan has been a Scout for 10 years. He has earned 31 merit badges and is a member of Scouts BSA’s national honor society, the Order of the Arrow. Rowan is a rising senior at Central York High School and is active in the music program. He plans to attend college to pursue a degree in music education.

For his Eagle Scout service project, Henry, son of William and Inga Thome, cleared a garden bed of invasive tree species and weeds and planted native flowers at the Central York High School outdoor classroom. He hopes that the flowers will create a pollinator zone to help farms nearby and that the school will use the outdoor area

more. The project took more than 100 hours to complete for Henry and his friends, family members, and Scout helpers.

Starting as a Webelo, Henry has been a Scout for six years. He has earned 27 merit badges and is a member of the Order of the Arrow as a Brotherhood level member. Henry graduated from Central York High School, where he was active in volleyball and the math honor society. He is attending the Pennsylvania State University to pursue a degree in aerospace engineering.

Rowan and Henry thanked their parents, fellow Scouts, friends, and family members for their help in completing their projects and their Eagle requirements. Attendees at the Court of Honor included state Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill and state Rep. Joe D’Orsie, who presented the Scouts with citations, and representatives of the Marine Corps League and the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, who presented the Scouts with a Good Citizenship Award and a Certificate of Recognition. The new Eagle Scouts also received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from U.S. Rep. Scott Perry and an American flag that had flown over the United States Capitol.

Scouts BSA Troop 25 meets at Yorkshire United Methodist Church, 125 Edgewood Road, York, in the fellowship hall from 7 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays from September until May. For more information, visit https:// troop25york.com/.

The Visions of the Susquehanna Art Collection at Susquehanna National Heritage Area (SNHA) has added three original weavings. “The Sentinel,” “Urey Overlook,” and “Fishing Creek,” all by local artist Phyllis Koster, were presented to SNHA on Aug. 14 by donors Larry and Lois Fry at the Zimmerman Center for Heritage.

Koster started her own weaving business, The Flying Shuttle, decades ago. She has received awards from the Philadelphia Hand Weavers Guild, the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, and the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.

Koster’s three pieces may be viewed on guided tours at the Zimmerman

Center for Heritage, 1706 Long Level Road, Wrightsville. The center is open to

The event is designed for care partners and anyone who has a loved one living with dementia, as well as people living with a dementia or cognitive brain change diagnosis.

An Exhibitors and Resource Hall will take place at 8 a.m., with light refreshments offered.

The official welcome and opening remarks will begin at 8:30 a.m., followed by a keynote address from Dr. Kristen Nebel, founder of Peace of Mind Aging, at 8:45 a.m. Nebel will share her expertise and insights on dementia care.

The morning will continue with an educational

session on navigating communication, led by Melody Karick, ForgeWorks dementia educator and consultant. Attendees will then have the opportunity to eat lunch, visit exhibitors, and register for afternoon sessions.

The afternoon will feature workshop sessions, with separate tracks for care partners and people living with dementia. While anyone can participate in any of the workshops, the three tactile workshops are designed for people living with dementia. Each attendee can choose two workshops.

Afternoon sessions will include “Dementia Experience,” a simulation designed to help participants understand the experience of living with dementia; “Mobility,” a review of mobility issues associated with cognitive decline, as well as tips and tricks to navigate

movement well; “The Five Senses,” which will explore how brain changes affect the five senses; “Preserving Dignity,” tips for helping loved ones preserve their dignity while assisting with activities of daily living; “Elder Law and Aging Services,” a review of the crucial legal planning and professional support for laying the foundation to face dementia; “Late-Stage Dementia and Hospice,” a guide for the need for support and available tools; “Memory Cafe,” conversations with Harry and Hazel Urban, with a question-and-answer time; and “Tactile Workshops,” in which attendees will use the sense of touch to create joy, purpose, and connection through art, gardening, and a book club.

Family Fun at Susquehanna

Old Fashioned Field Days

BY CAT SHANNON

Take a step back in time and enjoy a weekend of family fun when Susquehanna Old Fashioned Field Days returns for its 28th year. The event will be held at Conoy Park, 2115 River Road, Bainbridge, on Saturday, Sept. 20, and Sunday, Sept. 21.

Breakfast will be served both days at 7 a.m. Opening ceremonies will be held at 9 a.m. on Saturday and after an interdenominational church service that will begin at 9 a.m. on Sunday.

A fishing derby for children age 15 and under will be held following opening ceremonies both days. Participants should bring their own bait and rod. A tractor parade will be featured at 11 a.m. on Saturday and at noon on Sunday.

Each year, the Old Fashioned Field Days spotlight themed antique and collectible items.

“We’re featuring Sears and Roebuck home and garden items and soda advertising

and collectibles,” said Ron Bernhard, a member of the event committee.

Both days will also feature opportunities to explore hit and miss gas engines and antique tractors and see a wide variety of demonstrations.

“We’ll have a blacksmith, someone pressing apple cider, shelling corn demonstrations,” he noted, adding that war re-enactors will also be on-site. A variety of craft vendors will also be featured.

Lots of activities will be offered for children as well, said Tonya Bernhard, a member of the organizing committee.

“We have barrel train rides for the kids,” she said. “We have a pumpkin patch they can ride a wagon to and pick out a pumpkin, one pumpkin per person. There is a kids’ zone run by Word of Life Church with games for kids to play, and that’s all free.”

Food and music will also be featured.

“All of our food is from civic organizations and local churches,” Tonya said, noting that the entire event is sponsored by the Conoy Lions Club.

Summit Hill will provide live music on Saturday beginning at 11 a.m.

At 3 p.m. on Saturday, a benefit auction will be held, with proceeds used to fund future field days.

“You never know what you’re going to find at the auction,” Tonya shared.

“It’s donated goods, so we don’t know what’s going to be there until a few days before it happens.”

For the church service on Sunday morning, all of the churches in Conoy Township come together to worship, Ron said, highlighting the community aspect of the field days.

Both Ron and Tonya have been helping to organize the event for decades, and they look forward to it every year. They are joined by a committee of volunteers that includes their

son, Mitchell, along with Kevin and Sandy Baker.

The overall atmosphere of the Old Fashioned Field Days is relaxing and inviting, Tonya said, and people are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets and spend the day, or both days, at the event.

“There’s something for everyone, and there is so much to see and do,” she said. “People who have no interest in gas engines and tractors will still be there all day. There’s lot of things for kids to do.”

The festival draws thousands of people each year, many of whom have been coming since they were children and now attend with their own kids.

“A lot of people come for both days,” Ron said. “It’s just a good, friendly community event. It’s really family oriented.”

The event will be held rain or shine. For more information, follow “Susquehanna Old Fashioned Field Days” on Facebook.

other property owner. Also recognized at the event was the Flinchbaugh family, whose participation in the county’s farmland preservation program marked the 50,000th acre to be preserved. To date, a total of 50,050 acres of farmland have been preserved through the York County Agricultural Land

Preservation Program, with 354 total farms now in the program. The success of the program can be attributed to collaboration between the county, state, and federal governments. State funding played a key role, and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture secretary Russell Redding joined the county’s celebration.

The York County Agricultural Land Preservation Board (YCALPB) was created in 1990 as a collaborative effort between the county, farmers, developers, and environmental preservationists. Today, York County ranks in the top 10 of all counties in the U.S. for farmland preservation.
