Wheels will turn wishes into reality BY CAT SHANNON
For more than three decades, the Make-A-Wish Mother’s Day Truck Convoy has rolled through the county, lifting spirits and raising funds for local children battling critical illnesses. The 36th annual event will be held on Saturday, May 10. It will kick
off at Manheim Pennsylvania Auto Auction, 1190 Lancaster Road, Manheim. While truck parking and driver registration will run from 6 to 10 a.m., the public is invited to a Family Fest from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The convoy will depart at 1:30 p.m. In the past, the convoy has been held on Mother’s Day, but See Wheels pg 2

Make memories with Mom at a 5K
BY CAT SHANNON
District and GEARS. The club marks its 100th anniversary this year. The service organization holds other major fundraisers throughout the year, including the Taste of Western Lancaster County with Elizabethtown Public Library, so the race event is mostly just an opportunity for community members to have fun together. The 5K is a family-friendly event that offers an opportunity to bond with Mom on Mother’s Day, Brill said. “Bring the kids and grandkids! It’s always a fun time,” he said, adding that the course is perfect for walkers or runners and for people of all ages. “What a healthy way to celebrate Mom on her day. Thanks to all the wonderful moms out there.” For more information on the Rotary Club of Elizabethtown’s Mother’s Day 5K , visit www .elizabethtownrotary.org and click on “Fundraising Events.” Although race-day registration will be available, preregistration is encouraged. Online registration will close at midnight on Sunday, May 4.

Mayfest will bring history to life BY CAT SHANNON
From demonstrations of old-fashioned artistr y to hands-on fun, Mayfest will offer something for everyone. The annual celebration will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 3. Activities will be held along West High Street and North and South King streets and in Legion Park, 20 N. King St., Maytown, all within walking distance of the Maytown Historical Society’s museum at 4 W. High St.
Mayfest is a celebration of the past, an opportunity to mark the founding of the Maytown, which dates to May 1, 1760. “Come to Mayfest to learn about your town’s past and to have a fun family day,” said Linda Good, Mayfest coordinator and vice president of the Maytown Historical Society. “ You can expect to be entertained and also to learn about life in Maytown 265 years ago.” Historical demonstrators will set up along West High Street.

elebrate your mom by taking a walk or a run with her - or in her honor - on Mother’s Day. The 10th annual Rotary Club of Elizabethtown Mother’s Day 5K will be held on S u nd ay, May 1 1 . R ace day registration will begin at 1:30 p.m., and the race will step off at 3 p.m. The event will be held on the grounds of Masonic Village, 1 Masonic Drive, Elizabethtown, with a start and finish line near Veterans Grove. Once on the property, race participants should follow signs for parking. “ We just want to celebrate moms on their special day,” said event co-chair Dan Brill, explaining the impetus behind the event. “We try really hard to stay on a strict timeframe, so people still have plenty of time for dinner with Mom. We are usually done no later than 4:15.” The event has been successful for a decade thanks to support both from participants, who come to enjoy family time and earn prizes, and from community organizations, Brill said.
“We want to give a huge thank you to our generous business sponsors who are listed on our shirts,” he said, noting that race T-shirts will be available while supplies last. “And one to mention is Masonic Village for the use of their beautiful grounds!” Prizes will be awarded to the top overall male and female finishers as well as the top three male and female finishers in seven age brackets: age 14 and under, ages 15 to 19, ages 20 to 29, ages 30 to 39, ages 40 to 49, ages 50 to 59 and age 60 and older. “We also have some great door prizes to give out in addition to our awards,” Brill shared. Music will be featured at the event, and snacks will also be available. All mothers will also receive a flower to celebrate Mother’s Day. Proceeds from the race will be used for various projects of the Rotary Club of Elizabethtown. With a motto of “Service Above Self,” the group supports a variety of community organizations and efforts throughout northwestern Lancaster County, including projects to benefit students in the Elizabethtown Area School
