One day in May, Steve Hulse was having breakfast when his phone dinged. The Bainbridge man glanced at the message and showed it to his wife, Cindy, asking her, “Does this say what I think it says?” She confirmed that yes, indeed, Hulse and his grandson James Thompson had won an award for a Maytown Historical Society video they created.

Hulse served as editor, with Thompson as producer/director of photography for the video, which highlighted the society’s history and impact. The video earned a Silver Award in the Non-Broadcast Not-for-Profit category of the 47th annual Telly Awards, which honor excellence in video and television and are judged by leaders in the industry. The pair joins other winners in this year’s competition,

A Decade of Wagging Tails “We have been open for 10 years, yet we seem to be one of Mount Joy’s best kept secrets,” said Lynn McCleary, president and co-founder of Dog Park Mount Joy (DPMJ). “For 10 years, Dog Park Mount Joy has offered more than a doggie playground. It is a place where dogs gain confidence and shed stress, where members become confidants of one another, where families share the joy of happy dogs running and wrestling and where a stronger community grows, one wagging tail at a time.” As the park marks a decade of operation, the organization will hold several fundraisers to support its mission. “Although there is an annual membership fee to join Dog Park Mount Joy, landscaping alone costs more than $10,000 a year, and fundraisers help cover upkeep and improvement costs,” McCleary explained. Pack the Pub! will be held on Wednesday, July 8, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at McCleary’s Pub, 130 W. Front St., Marietta. Diners should inform their server that they are supporting Dog Park Mount Joy, and the organization will receive 10% of each check. “ We a re g ra t e f u l t o t h e McCleary’s team for this generous opportunity, and we hope to bring them many satisfied customers, old and new,” McCleary said. “This is an Open Mike Jam night, with the house band opening and other musicians showing off their musical stuff. Dogs are not invited, but they will enjoy leftovers.”

here’s so much to discover in Elizabethtown, and now it’s easier than ever to unearth hidden treasures in the community. The Elizabethtown Scavenger Hunt invites people to learn more about the town in a fun, interactive way. “The Elizabethtown Scavenger Hunt is a mobile-exclusive guide to explore Elizabethtown and is completely free to the user to participate,” said Denise Grove, executive director of the Elizabethtown Area Chamber of Commerce. “The goal is to get visitors to explore our small, walkable towns in more depth. The pass will guide the user through town, where they will be able to answer questions at various points of interest around town. While completing the hunt, they will have access to redeem coupons at local businesses.” The hunt includes locations throughout the downtown area.
