Strasburg Senior Citizens Celebrates 60th Anniversary
BY LOGAN MOYER
For six decades, the Strasburg Senior Citizens has been an organization unlike most others.
The group is not the average Rotary, Kiwanis or Lions Club, although it shares many of the same charitable causes.
The group, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in May, is a special place for those age 50 and older to fraternize, enjoy activities and forge a unique connection to the area and to each other.
A member of the Graybill family has been a part of the group for most of its existence. Kay Graybill is the group’s only active third-generation
member; her grandmother and mother were both also active members in the past.
“This is my third year in the

There are good days, and there are bad days. There are long days, and there are short days. There are productive days, and there are recreational days.
Plain and Fancy Farm’s Homestead Day is a day to celebrate what it means to be a Lancastrian and to be grateful for what all of that means.
“Homestead Days is about
connecting Lancaster’s heritage, both past and present,” said Megan Weiss, director of marketing for Plain and Fancy Farm.
“History is important because it helps us understand who we are, where we came from and how the places we call home became what they are today. It connects people to the land, the buildings, the food, the traditions, the stories and the values that shaped a community over time. For Lancaster
PCA&D Creatively Develops Real People
BY JEFF FALK
Before you can teach students, you must first reach them. Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (PCA&D) has the curriculum, the forward thinking and the professors to challenge active minds.
“People often know PCA&D as an art school, but what they may not realize is how deeply connected we are to workforce development, community partnerships and the regional economy,” said PCA&D president Andy Barnes. “Our graduates work across industries because creative thinking is valuable everywhere. Employers increasingly need people who can communicate visually, solve problems collaboratively and think innovatively. We’re also proud to be an active partner in downtown Lancaster. PCA&D contributes to the city’s cultural energy, supports local organizations and creates opportunities for community engagement through exhibitions, events and educational programming.”
PCA&D, which is located at 204 N. Prince St., Lancaster, offers eight undergraduate degree programs, as well as continuing education opportunities and certificates in a wide array of design, art and creative disciplines. This fall, the college will be offering a new course in creative writing.
“Education helps people develop not just knowledge, but perspective,” said Barnes. “It teaches us how to think critically, communicate effectively, collaborate with others and

club,” she said. “My mom, she worked part time; it was more a way to just get out. And my grandma, at that age, she would just get a place to go out and meet other people. It just feels right to be in a group that they were a part of.”
The group meets at 1 p.m. on the third Wednesday of every month at the Strasburg Fire Hall, 203 W. Franklin St., Strasburg. There is a small door fee to pay for the rental of the fire hall. People from all around the county are members, although most are from Strasburg, Paradise, Quarryville, Ronks and the surrounding towns.
The meetings typically consist of fellowship, live entertainment, bingo, and informative speakers

that are of particular interest to seniors.
“All kinds of things to entertain,” described Graybill. “We also do some community service. We’ve been collecting food for the bank at the First Presbyterian Church; the last couple months we provided sleeping bags for the Tenfold homeless shelter program.”
The group has around 35 active members, Graybill said. At the group’s June meeting, they will formally celebrate their sixth decade of existence. Former members have been invited back to reminisce and share stories of the past.
The group was launched in 1966 by Richard Chambers and Joseph Gonder, two men who were both referred to as “some of Strasburg’s most prominent citizens,” per old editions of the Strasburg Heritage Society’s magazine.
Outside of its monthly meetings, the group has restaurant meetups and theater outings around Lancaster County and takes bus trips beyond the immediate area.
“I think we are a little unique,” Graybill said. “For 60 years we’ve maintained this organization, which is really hard at any day and age. I belong to several other groups, and it’s like pulling teeth to get them to do things anymore. It’s been fun to have a group that is willing to do the work and have fun.”

Lecture, Musical Set at Rock Ford
Historic Rock Ford, 881 Rockford Road, Lancaster, will continue its America250 Lecture Series with “Analyzing the Ten Crucial Days: A Thematic Interpretation of a Turning Point in the Revolutionary War” by author David Price on Sunday, June 21, at 2 p.m. The event will be held in the Langmuir Education Room on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn.
Price will examine Winter Campaign of 1776-77. Copies of his new book, “Winning the Ten Crucial Days,” will be available for purchase and signing.
Price’s literary activity is an outgrowth of his work as a historical interpreter who focuses on the American Revolution and, in particular, on what historians have termed “the Ten Crucial Days” campaign from Dec. 25, 1776, through Jan. 3, 1777. Price has been awarded the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution’s Bronze Good Citizenship Medal in recognition of his work as a historical interpreter, author, and speaker.
To purchase tickets, visit www.historicrockford.org/ special-events.
Prior to the lecture, attendees may visit the Snyder Gallery and the 2026 Focus Exhibit. The Snyder Gallery will close at 4 p.m.
In addition, Historic Rock Ford and War of the Roses Theatre Company will present the award-winning Broadway musical “1776” on Sunday, June 28, at 4 p.m.; Monday and Tuesday, June 29 and 30, at 7 p.m.; and
Wednesday, July 1, at 7 p.m.
Featuring music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and a book by Peter Stone, “1776” highlights the Founding Fathers’ efforts to create a new nation. The score includes songs like “Sit Down, John” and “He Plays the Violin.”
The performance will unfold on the piazza of the Hand Man sion on the 250th anniversary of when the Continental Congress debated independence in Phila delphia. The show is directed by Jamie Hilton and features a cast of 26 local actors.
Limited on-site parking is available, and the performance area will open 45 minutes prior to the start time. Concessions will be available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting Historic Rock Ford.
There is a fee for reserved seating, with a discount for bringyour-own-chair seating. To pur chase tickets, visit www.simpletix .com/e/1776-america-s-prize -winning-musical-tickets-276006.

Homestead
from pg 1
County, history is especially important because so much of the county’s identity is rooted in agriculture, faith, hospitality, skilled trades and cultural traditions. Preserving that history helps residents feel connected to their community and it helps visitors understand that they are experiencing a real place with deep roots, not just a destination.”
Inspired by America’s 250th anniversary, the 10-acre Plain and Fancy Farm, a destination that provides visitors with a peek inside the culture of Amish, Mennonite and the Plain Community, will conduct its Homestead Days on each third Saturday of the next four months. The initial installment of Homestead Days will be staged from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 20, at the historic farm, 3121 Old Philadelphia Pike, Bird-in-Hand.
Homestead Days will also be presented at the same times on July 18, Aug. 15 and Sept. 19.
Plain and Fancy Farm’s Homestead Days are free to attend, but there are fees associated with some of the attractions.
Grocery Aisle
“Homestead Days is really about celebrating the spirit of Lancaster, where history is still part of everyday life,” said Tom Neely, CEO of Plain and Fancy Farm. “As we recognize America’s 250th anniversary, we wanted to create something that honors the traditions, skills and values that shaped this community, while also bringing people together to experience the Lancaster County of today. Whether someone comes for the demonstrations, the food, the family activities or simply to spend time together on the farm, we hope they leave with a deeper appreciation for the heritage and hospitality that make this area so special.”
Among the activities and programs that will be presented on most Homestead Days are blacksmithing, yard games, scavenger hunts for kids, horse washing, buggy safety, samplings of Lancaster County foods, tours, hands-on experiences, face painting, quilting and cigar rolling.
Plain and Fancy Farm was established in 1959.
Third in Strasburg Event
The Strasburg Marketing Association will host Third in Strasburg on Friday, June 19, from 5 to 8 p.m. Community members can enjoy special discounts, promotions, and live music at participating Strasburg businesses.

adapt to change. Creative education is especially important right now because society increasingly needs people who can innovate, connect ideas and bring humanity into complex challenges. In an AI-driving world, uniquely human skills - imagination, ethics, empathy and vision - become even more essential. Education also builds community.”
In May, PCA&D graduated 93 students. There are currently more than 400 students enrolled in PCA&D programs for the fall of 2026, about 70 percent of whom hail from Pennsylvania.
“It leaves an imprint on you
for sure,” said Oakly Buscarino, a 2026 graduate of PCA&D. “It’s a wacky collective of students from a variety of backgrounds and identities - you’re bound to have common interests with someone else. Socially, it’s very fun and supportive - classes have a different vibe. The atmosphere can be professional but also collaborative, and it’s easy to develop a synergy between the classmates and the professors. Overall, it’s very welcoming and supportive.”
“(The students are) creative, thoughtful and incredibly motivated,” said Barnes. “Many are looking for a place where they can
authentically and unapologetically be themselves and explore how creativity connects to their future. Today’s students are also deeply aware of the world around them. They care about community, identity, technology, social issues and making meaningful contributions. They want careers, but they also want purpose and impact. What’s exciting is seeing how they apply creativity beyond traditional expectations, whether it’s in design, entrepreneurship, health care, entertainment, technology, education or nonprofit work.”
The staff at PCA&D is made up of 19 full-time faculty members, 76 part-time or adjunct faculty and 36 staff members.
“Our faculty combine technical instruction with mentorship, collaboration and hands-on learning,” said Barnes. “Students
learn through studio practice, critiques, real-world projects and interdisciplinary experiences. Our faculty are working artists too, so they integrate their real-world experiences into coursework and class discussions. We also emphasize adaptability. Creative careers continue to evolve rapidly, so students need to know how to learn, pivot and apply their skills in different environments. Faculty work closely with students to help them develop both creative confidence and professional readiness.”
PCA&D was established in 1982. Over the past 44 years, the institution has added more academic offerings, developed community partnerships and participated in and promoted public events.
