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.

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

Choices Healthcare Names New President and CEO

Choices Healthcare has announced the appointment of Michael Link as its next president and chief executive officer, effective Wednesday, Oct. 1. The decision follows a national search and reflects unanimous support from the board of directors. Choices Healthcare is the parent organization of Hospice & Community Care and Hospice of Central PA. Link has been with the organization for more than two decades. He joined Choices Healthcare, then known as Hospice of Lancaster County, in 2001 as an information systems trainer. Over the years, he advanced through roles including director of information technology, vice president and chief information officer, chief administrative officer and, most recently, chief operating officer.

Link holds a bachelor’s degree in applied management from Pennsylvania College of Technology and an MBA from Southern New Hampshire University, both earned with honors. He has national connections in the hospice and palliative care field.

Our guests love our beef barbecue sandwiches. It’s the favorite item on our menu.” Proceeds from the food sales will help support the purchase of a new tanker truck. “Our current tanker is 25 years old and needs to be replaced,” Lockard said.

The Strasburg Community Parks Foundation will coordinate and benefit from ticket sales for bingo games and prize baskets. “These funds will help pay for maintenance and upkeep of the 12-acre nature park. We are currently looking for funding to cover the cost for staining the park’s outdoor stage,” said Rathbone-Frank.

To meet with the increased demand to participate, we’ve expanded the seating capacity and prepared more food for our

“It’s always exciting to watch the anticipation build as the games are played and (prize-winning) tickets are drawn and see the lucky winners going home with great prizes,” said Rathbone-Frank.

Everyone must purchase a pack for 10 standard games of bingo for admission. Players may purchase additional sheet packs but must purchase at least one sheet pack for entry/ admission. Cash bingo prizes will be offered for standard games. Three special bingo games will also be played for additional costs.

Games will start at 6 p.m. All children being admitted must be able to sit quietly and play bingo.

PennCyber Warns Residents of “Phantom Hacker” Scam

The Cybersecurity Association of Pennsylvania (PennCyber) urges vigilance as senior citizens across the commonwealth

and the nation face a surge in sophisticated “Phantom Hacker” scams. These multi-phase social engineering attacks leave seniors vulnerable to devastating financial losses, often draining entire retirement accounts.

The FBI reports that nearly half of the victims of these scams are over 60 years old, with seniors representing two-thirds of all financial losses. Nationwide, Americans have already lost more than $1 billion to this evolving fraud.

The “Phantom Hacker” scheme unfolds in three stages. An impostor poses as technical support, convincing victims to allow remote access to their computers. Then another

LCAA Sets Fall Show

Bird-in-Hand Stage Announces 2026 Show Schedule

Bird-in-Hand Stage, 3063 Lincoln Highway East, Paradise, has announced its schedule for the upcoming 2026 show season. It includes two new shows and one popular favorite from Blue Gate Musicals as well as a Ryan & Friends musical comedy variety show.

The 2026 season will launch on Thursday, April 2, 2026, with the debut of a brand-new show, “Ned and Nancy See America.” The plot of the musical comedy revolves around a retired couple on the RV vacation of a lifetime. They travel from one hilarious disaster to the next, reliving old memories and making new ones - and all roads lead to a surprise ending. The show will run through Saturday, July 25, 2026. Also in April, popular entertainer Ryan Bomgardner will return to the Bird-in-Hand Stage with “Ryan & Friends: Laughter in Lancaster,” a lighthearted look at life in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Opening on Thursday, April 9, and running through Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, the

variety show features fan-favorite characters as well as Ryan’s signature ventriloquism, comedy skits and parody songs in styles ranging from country to Broadway.

On Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026, “Dear Soldier Boy” will return to the Birdin-Hand Stage. Written by Martha Bolton, with songs by Wally Nason, the show is set in 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait. A young Amish girl and her friend volunteer to write letters of encouragement to the American troops. Several soldiers out on a weekend pass decide to surprise the girls at the cheese shop where they work - all on the same day. This musical comedy will run through Wednesday, Oct. 21,

2026.

The season will close with another new show from Blue Gate Musicals. “The Christmas Rush” will open on Friday, Oct. 30, 2026. As the stores prepare to close on Christmas Eve, a recently widowed salesgirl and her daughter are desperately seeking the one special thing about Christmas. Down to their last dime and last hour, they hatch two secret plans that put them on a collision course with disaster that only a Christmas Eve miracle will solve. The show will run through Thursday, Dec. 31, 2026.

Tickets for all four 2026 shows are currently available. For reservations, call 717-768-1568 or visit www.Bird-in-Hand.com.

grandfather’s printing press anymore. The stuff that people are doing now with printing, it’s not commercial printing. It’s more all art and hobby printing and very specialized printing that’s being done by individuals. And the commercial aspect of it has long gone for letterpress printing. But as far as the printing of personalized items and specialty items, it’s still very viable.”

The Printers Fair is the group’s major fundraising project. “It used to help us fund the Letterpress Printing Center (on the campus of Thaddeus Stevens College), which was closed down in 2023,” Kulakowsky said. “We’re still trying to

find a new location and not having much luck right now. That’s why we’re trying to raise more money so we can have money to reopen it. It was all hands-on activities for school kids.”

The .918 Club previously hosted Scouts and school groups at the Letterpress Printing Center. “They wanted to know about the history, and we do the history of communications,” Kulakowsky said. “If you have a group that’s studying this the Civil War and you want to know how communications and printing was done in the Civil War, we can show them, and we used to be able to have them actually set up type and print.” The museum located at 346 N. Queen St., Lancaster, is now big enough to do that.

The .918 Club’s name is derived from the way printing was done. “The letters are put together one at a time to form words and sentences,” Kulakowsky said. “Even though there are different sizes, they have

one size that’s the same for both pieces, and that’s the height, which is 0.918 of an inch. So anything you have to use for printing, all the presses are set up that all the type is 0.918 of an inch high.”

Sept. 18 (9/18) is National Letterpress Appreciation Day, so the fair is always held on the Saturday closest to that date, Kulakowsky explained.

The .918 Club meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at The Studios in The Candy Factory, 342 N. Queen St., Lancaster, which is in the same

complex as the museum. Everyone is welcome, and the .918 Club is always seeking volunteers.

“We’re looking for people who want to help here in the museum,” said Kulakowsky. We go through a couple orientations. We don’t put them out by themselves, naturally. We will mentor them for a while to see until they feel comfortable about running the museum.”

The museum is staffed by volunteers from noon to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays and on First Friday nights.

uals posing as U.S. government officials, who may even send official-looking documents to reinforce the deception.

Recent reports indicate scammers are also leveraging artificial intelligence to make their attacks more convincing, targeting seniors based on personal interests, hobbies, and online activity.

PennCyber encourages families to discuss these scams proactively, educate seniors on the red flags, and remind them to immediately report any suspicious contact. The FBI urges victims to report incidents to their local FBI Field Office and the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov.

The Lancaster Chapter of the American Guild of Organists (AGO) will hold a community hymn sing on Sunday, Sept. 21, at 4 p.m. at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 200 W. Orange St., Lititz.

There is no charge to attend. A freewill offering will be received.

Organization Launches Website, Issues Call for Art

The Blue Green Connector, an environmental restoration and trail initiative, has launched its new website, marking a milestone in connecting Lancaster County residents to nature, clean water, and creative community experiences.

Led by the Steinman Foundation and in partnership with local government and community partners, the Blue Green Connector is a multiyear effort to restore the Little Conestoga Creek corridor and create a 3.5-mile ADA-accessible trail. The new website features interactive maps, restoration information, and news and community events.

To view the website, visit https://bluegreen connector.org.

The project is also issuing a Call for Art to help shape the future of the trail through permanent, site-specific artworks.

The Call for Art is open to artists, design professionals, and craftspeople within a 100-mile radius of Lancaster. They are invited to submit their qualifications for consideration to create permanent artworks along the trail. Formats will include sculptures, interactive installations, stamped concrete, and artistic seating. Creative themes for art on the trail are biodiversity, clean waterways, sustainability, rewilding and restoration, and human to nature connection.

Selected artists may be commissioned to install works between 2025 and 2028 as the trail opens in phases.

The submission deadline is Wednesday, Oct. 15. More information and submission guidelines are available at https:// bluegreenconnector .org/the-learning-lab/ art-on-the-trail/#form.

Capital Day Celebrations Planned

LancasterHistory, 230 N. President Ave., Lancaster, will hold two events to celebrate Capital Day on Saturday, Sept. 27, the day in 1777 when Lancaster was the capital of the United States. A Capital Day Pet Parade will take place from 10 to 11 a.m. Owners are encouraged to dress themselves and their pets in Colonial, revolutionary, or patriotic attire. Parade participants will gather outside the museum for brief remarks on the history of Capital Day and then parade around the square, imitating the Continental Congress’ march into Lancaster.

All pets and children under age 17 must be accompanied by an adult age 18 or older. All pets should also be appropriately leashed or contained at all times; up to date on all required veterinary immunizations; and friendly with crowds, children, and other animals. Owners may be asked to leave with their pets if they fail to meet these requirements.

The event is free and open to the public, but there is a suggested donation, which can be made on-site or when registering online. A pet bandana is included with registration, along with free sniffs and water.

Registration is required. To register, visit https://29296.blackbaud hosting.com/29296/ Capital-Day-Pet-Parade or call 717-392-4633.

A Capital Day Celebration will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to dress in Colonial or patriotic outfits. The event will feature an activity station for children, as well as s’mores around the campfire. Refreshments from Commonwealth Kitchen & Bar will be served at 5:30 p.m. At 6 p.m., Stephanie Townrow from LancasterHistory and other special guests will share about the history of Capital Day. Lancaster Quiztory, a Lancaster County-themed game of trivia, will take place at 6:45 p.m.

There are separate ticket prices set for adults and for people age 17 and under. Advance tickets are recommended. To purchase tickets, visit https://tinyurl.com/ capital-day online or call 717-392-4633.
