Lancaster Printers Fair Will Be Held Sept. 20
The .918 Club will provide just the “types” of things that interest people who enjoy letterpress printing. The 12th annual Lancaster Printers Fair will be held Saturday, Sept. 20, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Willow Street Fire Company, 2901 Willow Street Pike. There will be no admission charge and plenty of free parking. The event will be held rain or shine. Go to www.lancaster printersfair.org for additional information. There will be 21 vendors from all over the East Coast, .918 Club president Kenneth Kulakowsky said. “They’re going to have a variety of equipment, supplies, and printed materials, and demonstrations all involved around print making,” he added. Hot dogs, Turkey Hill drinks, and Herr’s potato chips will be sold. “There’s going to be a lot of old equipment that’s going to be available for sale and supplies that we’re selling out of our overages,” said Kulakowsky. “We got a lot of donations, and after we get doubles and triples and so forth, we try to get it into the hands of hobby printers who would like to continue on with the printing process.” Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the craft. “If they have if they want to find out what print making and letterpress printing is about, this is the place they should go,” Kulakowsky said. “There are multiple approaches of the same process. And you always say it’s not your grandfather’s printing

empfield Foundation executive director Kevin WITH US... EL Fillgrove has been on the AV TR COME job for less than two months, but he already had the privilege of awarding more than $31,000 worth of grants to school district faculty members. “It’s been really great,” said Fillgrove. “I’ve had an opportunity to meet an awful lot of great people, all the board members that served the foundation, and they’re just great people who care about education. I got to speak at the principal’s meeting with the superintendent. I’ve got to speak at the new staff meeting, and then I spoke for the staff at Hempfield High School Performing Arts Center and announce the grants. It was pretty cool.” The Hempfield Foundation’s mission is “to fuel teacher creativity and innovation across all Hempfield schools, and fund projects that go R118382

Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation will hold a special event to remember its “rock star.” It will be a bittersweet occasion. Acorn Acres had originally planned a 10th birthday party for its squirrel ambassador Snags, but Snags died on Sept. 3. It will now be a celebration of life for the revered rodent. An open house will be held Sunday, Sept. 21, from 2 to 6 p.m. at Acorn Acres, 2100 Stone Mill Road,
