Winterfest from pg 1 which for most is their busiest time of the year.” Schell said he is looking for volunteers to help set up and tear down the day of the event.

The 34th annual Lancaster County Project for the Needy (LCPN) holiday dinner giveaway has partnered with the United Way of Lancaster and UPMC Pinnacle Health to provide a complete holiday meal for families throughout Lancaster County on Saturday, Dec. 19. Due to COVID19 and the Department of Health’s safety guidelines, the process for this year’s annual event will be different. The holiday meal
distribution will take place by delivery only. There will be no pickup location at the Barnstormers’ stadium. UPMC has partnered with LCPN to provide COVID-19 health screenings to volunteers. Families can preregister for this event by calling the United Way’s 211 or 855567-5341 from Friday, Nov. 27, through Friday, Dec. 11. Registration is required no later than Dec. 11. A volunteer will deliver the holiday
Community Services (CVCCS), the Columbia Lions, and Solanco Food Pantry to provide meals to families in designated areas. The LCPN is still seeking donations to offset the cost of purchasing the groceries for the dinner. The project relies on individual donations for over two-thirds of the resources needed to fund the food distribution. For information about how to contribute, readers may visit www.lcpn.org.

“Less Snore, More Cuddle” Are you having trouble sleeping in 2020? If so, please... Take This Reader’s Quiz: 1. Do you snore at night, or sleep with someone who does? 2. Do you wake up with pain in your back or neck? 3. Do you share a bed with someone who wants a firmer or softer mattress than you? 4. Do you wish you could wake up more refreshed and full of energy? If you answered “Yes” twice or more, this story is for you.
Introducing “Less Snore, More Cuddle™” Sleep Systems The only sleep systems that provide a Cuddle Zone in the middle, while raising or lowering head or feet sections. This solves common health problems for couples who sleep together. Here are some of the healthy benefits:
The Snoring Solution Did you know that astronauts don’t snore in space? Snoring is made worse by gravity’s effect on the throat, which narrows the airway. For this reason, snoring can be cured by sleeping in zero gravity -- or on an adjustable Cuddle Zone sleep system to elevate you head.
Stop Compromising Your Sleep If you wish you half of the bed was firmer or softer, a Cuddle Zone system can help. With “His & Her” custom-fit technology, you get a firmness that’s just right for each of you, you keep the Cuddle Zone.
Back and Neck Pain, Gone Sleeping without pain requires body support and spinal alignment. Unlike “firm or soft” mattresses, Cuddle Zone systems support the spine and neck with 2 to 4 comfort layers.
More Energy, More Life Cuddle Zone systems help give you deep, restorative sleep. Your muscles repair and grow, and your brain flushes out toxins. You wake up refreshed and energized.

The new location will allow for more social distancing, and the tree will already be lit at the time of the event, Schell said. Although some changes will be made this year, the event will still include aspects the community looks forward to. “Winterfest will feature food, entertainment and vendors,” Schell stated. “ We’ll also have Santa (available for visits) at Sheetz Funeral Home.” He said area businesses, nonprofits and churches will participate in the festivities, offering food like homemade whoopie pies and one-of-a-kind items from Mount Joy stores. Many shops in Mount Joy will be open, and others will have booths in the Winterfest area. The day will provide an opportunity to get to know more about what the town has to offer. “This is a great way for anyone to come and investigate what all we have in downtown Mount Joy,” Schell said. “You can check out the restaurants and shops. You can meet up with some of your neighbors, and you can see what the nonprofits in town are doing.” This year has been particularly hard on small businesses, he noted, and Winterfest will offer a chance for the community to support the local economy. “All of the big-box stores were able to stay open all year, but that wasn’t true for all small businesses,” he explained. “This is a great way to support them going into their holiday season,
