A Mountville Tradition Lions Club’s Chicken Potpie Sale Will Be Held Oct. 18 BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Wayside Presbyterian Church will provide food, fun, and fellowship for people seeking a safe, family-friendly Halloween alternative. The Landisville church will hold its 12th annual Trunk ’n Treat fall festival on Wednesday, Oct. 22, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in its parking lot and on the grounds, 600 Stony Battery Road. The event will be held inside if there is poor weather. Trunk ’n Treat is designed for children through sixth grade, and the youths must be accompanied by an adult.
It’s a rite of fall. The autumn version of the Mountville Lions Club’s semiannual chicken potpie sale will be held Saturday, Oct. 18, beginning at 10 a.m. at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 100 W. Main St., Mountville. The occasion is takeout only while supplies last, and the Lions Club will provide the containers. Homemade desserts will be for sale. “One of our members makes a peanut butter chocolate cake that sells quickly,” said Eric Weaver, the chairman of the club’s potpie committee. “There’s often an apple cinnamon cake. And then guys like me who can’t cook, I go to BJ’s and buy a nice pie there, so there will be some store-bought pies mixed in, but the majority of them are baked by our Lions.” Proceeds from the dessert table will be donated to the fund for the three York police officers who were recently killed in the line of duty. The cause has been boosted by a donation from the owner of the Mountville Citgo. Brooms made by local Amish craftspeople will be on sale. The Lions Club holds potpie sales on the third Saturday each March and October. They are major fundraisers for the organization. “It supports a local organization that works in our community,” said Weaver. “It’s really good potpie. We’ve been doing it for over 50 years that we’ve been making it twice a year. And it’s a good value for people.”
