The Many Voices of Darci Lynne

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

Check out a performance by Darci Lynne, and you never know what might come out of her mouth - or, more accurately, her sidekicks’ mouths.

Darci, a ventriloquist and singer who won “America’s Got Talent” in 2017, will bring her “Growing Pains” tour to The Junction Center, 1875 Junction Road, Manheim, on Friday, Sept. 18, and Saturday, Sept. 19, at 7 p.m.

Darci was just 12 years old when she won the national talent competition, impressing the judges with her unique, high-energy performances, featuring her puppet friends Petunia, Oscar, Edna and more.

“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.”

Her upcoming local shows mark a return to The Junction Center, where her first time through proved so popular that the venue had to add a second night to accommodate fan interest.

Calling all crafters - and all foodies. The Auxiliary of Pleasant View Communities, 544 N. Penryn Road, Manheim, is seeking vendors for the 2026 Auxiliary Craft Bazaar, and the group has also released a new cookbook. The bazaar is set for Saturday, Nov. 7, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tables are available for a fee, with the money supporting the needs of residents at the community, including those in health care.

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 are grateful to the 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.”

“Darci was first here in August of 2025,” said Phillip Miller, event and facilities director for The Junction Center. “Both nights were very entertaining. The nice part is, you can bring your kids, but you’re going to laugh and have fun as an adult as well.”

After her win on “America’s Got Talent,” Darci headlined a show in Las Vegas, hosted her own NBC Christmas special, guest-starred on numerous TV programs and performed multiple times at the Ryman Auditorium and Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

The Junction Center offers fans an opportunity to enjoy Darci’s performance in a smaller, more intimate setting, Miller said.

“Wherever you are in the venue, you’ll have a good seat, and you’ll be able to see well,” he said, noting that a maximum of 650 tickets will be sold for floor or mezzanine seating. “Our crowds come from New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, because she doesn’t tour as much as some other artists, so she draws crowds from the wider East Coast region.”

The Junction Center brings in artists who fit with the venue’s worldview and its focus on “Christ, community and music.”

Regular acts include stand-up comedian Jeff Allen, along with a variety of contemporary Chris -

tian artists as well as live theater performances and private events.

“The shows we bring in have to align with our beliefs,” said box office manager Karen Rupp, noting that all programming is family-friendly. “What we offer our community is something for all ages.”

Darci’s show will be performed in the venue’s Landis Hall, which was built in 2017. Audiences have responded well to the entertainment at the venue, Miller said, adding that people are often surprised by the space.

“You have a venue that feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by cornfields, but you’re seven minutes from the highway,” he said. “You can get in and out of here very quickly. (We also have) free parking.”

Both Miller and Rupp encourage people who have never seen Darci perform to check out a show, and they invite current fans to return.

“She’s family-friendly entertainment that adults and kids will laugh at. She mixes humor and music,” Miller said. “Her last show, we were laughing as a staff. We see a lot of different acts and comedy, so to get us laughing says a lot.”

Volunteers Make Wolf Sanctuary Howling Success

BY JEFF FALK

At the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania, staff members have a difficult time imagining a world without volunteers.

“I think (an absence of volunteers) would truly affect how we operate,” said Michelle Vandernewt, the education coordinator at Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania. “We started as a volunteer organization. The volunteer program is our backbone. All of our tour guides are volunteers. They come here in all kinds of weather. Some have been here a long time.”

A popular Lancaster County tourist attraction located at 465 Speedwell Forge Road, Lititz, the 80-acre Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania is home to nearly 50 rescued and relocated wolves. The task of maintaining and operating the wildlife refuge and caring for the wolves in their natural setting can be daunting, but it is one performed by 10 paid staff members and more than 50 dedicated volunteers.

“They are people who fell in love with wolves,” said Vandernewt. “They’re people who genuinely care about wolves. They are people who like helping with wildlife. Our volunteers have such a passion for what they do.”

To express their appreciation for their contributions, officials at the Wolf

Sanctuary of Pennsylvania recognize those efforts through posts on social media. The posts, which include photos and short narratives, are typically made on the anniversary of the volunteers’ start days, or “rescue dates.”

“We try to honor them publicly, and we try to express our gratitude when they’re here,” said Vandernewt.

Volunteers at the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania typically work five- to sixhour shifts. Many of the volunteers are local, but some drive as much as two hours to volunteer there.

On any given day, as many as 15 individuals are volunteering at the wolf sanctuary. The volunteers’ work is scheduled based on their availability.

“I really think it’s the wolves,” said Vandernewt. “Volunteers visit before their interviews, and some fall in love with the wolves. They can’t help but stick around.”

Among the duties performed by volunteers at the wolf sanctuary are tour guiding, animal care, cleaning and general operational duties.

The Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania hosts large fundraisers and offers guided and self-guided tours. When conditions are right, the wildlife refuge can host as many as 2,500 visitors per month.

See Wolf Sanctuary pg 9

“During setup time, vendors receive vouchers for free coffee and doughnuts, and some flatbed carts will be available to move vendor merchandise,” said Mindy Fetherman, development director of Pleasant View Communities. “The bazaar features only handmade items from a variety of skilled craftspeople.”

Vendors from the 2025 bazaar shared that they appreciated the picturesque venue, friendly volunteers and smooth traffic flow, she noted, adding that the bazaar was very well attended.

“Customers will find craft vendors in all the public spaces of the Pleasant View campus, including the Kreider Farms Cultural Center adjacent to the Manheim Community Library, main building and Town Square North,” Fetherman said.

“The auxiliary will have food available for purchase during the event, and Esther’s Collectibles Thrift Boutique will be open.”

The auxiliary has also published a cookbook that will be available for sale at the Craft Bazaar or can be purchased at any time online at https:// pleasantviewcommunities .org/events.

“The cookbook was assembled in 2025 for Pleasant View’s 70th anniversary and includes recipes from residents and staff,” Fetherman said, noting that the book has recipes from the staff of PVFiT, the on-site fitness center that’s open to the public. “It is an attractive hardcover three-ring binder, and the pages turn easily. There are many gluten-free recipes and helpful hints.”

The cookbook includes recipes from two of Pleasant View’s founders. Edna

Hoffer’s eclair cake was a favorite for birthdays, and Esther Henry’s celery seed dressing is featured.

Resident Hazel Nestleroth ran a bed-and-breakfast for many years and provided nine recipes for the cookbook.

Auxiliary vice president Vickie Geiman, who coordinated the cookbook printing, said her favorite recipe in the book is Irish oatmeal cookies.

Other popular recipes include Dale’s grape salad (submitted by Thomas Pfeiffer and Dale Warner) and moist chocolate cake (submitted by Howard Weachter and Mim Fink).

In January, the auxiliary hosted a tasting event, where residents and staff prepared recipes from the cookbook for attendees to sample.

“One participant said, ‘What a wonderful way to celebrate creativity and history. Sharing recipes and tasting together can spark memories, conversation and meaningful connection,’” Fetherman recalled.

The Auxiliary of Pleasant View Communities was established in 1991 to enhance the lives of residents.

“In 2025, the auxiliary gave $30,000 for benevolent care,” Fetherman said. “This year, they’ve provided nursing assessment tools for staff, a new ping pong table for residents and families, a food truck for staff during Nursing Home Week and the inaugural gift for the new Pleasant Moments initiative.” That program, she added, is a “makea-wish” initiative for residents.

College Announces Planned Presidential Transition

The Board of Trustees of Lancaster Bible College (LBC) announced on June 3 a planned leadership transition that aims to affirm the college’s 93-year mission, build on recent momentum, and continue LBC’s Kingdom impact in the years ahead.

After leading the college since 2020, Tommy Kiedis has announced that he will conclude his presidency on June 30, 2027. The college anticipates that Kiedis will serve as chancellor starting July 2027, engaging in ambassadorial responsibilities and utilizing his gifts to advance the work of the college in support of the institution’s next president.

The Board of Trustees has appointed Jael K.D.L.V. Chambers, current executive vice president, to serve as the college’s next president, effective July 1, 2027. The announcement has been made more than a year in advance to provide a thoughtful, intentional, and smooth leadership transition for the college community. Over the next year, Kiedis and Chambers will work closely to ensure continuity of leadership, clarity of direction, and a smooth transfer of responsibilities.

The Board of Trustees’

decision reflects the ongoing emphasis on succession planning at all levels of the institution and a deliberate and prayerful months-long process by the executive committee of the board, responsible for succession planning.

Under Kiedis’ leadership, Lancaster Bible College executed a comprehensive three-year strategic plan, widely expanded access to online programs, grew enrollment, refreshed its brand, increased fiscal stability, completed a capital campaign, and enhanced institutional alignment and accountability. The self-study evaluation team report from LBC’s Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) visit in March 2026 affirmed this progress while encouraging continued implementation and strengthening of institutional assessment practices.

The executive committee of the board determined that continuity of leadership, comprehensive institutional and industry knowledge, and the ability to sustain and accelerate current momentum were essential criteria for the next president. The board leadership determined that this moment in LBC’s history called for a presidential selection process focused on identifying a

qualified candidate already committed to and steeped in the college’s mission, direction, and strategy. The executive committee of the board functioned as a presidential search committee in this respect, first defining the current institutional context and then identifying the most important competencies LBC needs in its next president.

The board believes that the most important leadership need for LBC is missional stewardship - that is, a clear, mission-aligned strategy, disciplined execution, a healthy

On Saturday, July 18, a bake sale to benefit the dog park will be held at JB Hostetter & Sons, 1225 W. Main St., Mount Joy, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“Grillmaster Don Farr will be slinging hot dogs and sausage sandwiches, and the dog park community will provide a myriad of tasty treats for both humans and pups,” McCleary said. “For safety reasons, pups are not invited to this event.”

A chicken barbecue, featuring Peters’ BBQ, will be held on Saturday, Aug. 1, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at DPMJ, adjacent to Rapho

Township Community Park, 960 Strickler Road, Mount Joy. Advance tickets may be ordered by calling Gail at 717-538-0810.

To wrap up its fundraising efforts, a 10th anniversary Halloween celebration will be held on Saturday, Oct. 24. Details, including the event’s timing, are still being finalized.

“We are celebrating this milestone throughout the year, culminating in this festival, featuring dog-related vendors, food, music and our annual pet costume parade,” McCleary stated.

McCleary reflected on the dog park’s 10th anniversary, adding, “I attribute the dog park’s longevity to the heartfelt commitment of 20 people who decided that their best friends deserved a place to run free and socialize with other dogs. We knew that if we didn’t make this dream a reality, it would never happen.”

The group searched for a workable site, attended Rapho Township meetings, created a plan requiring members to pay annual dues and avoid a taxpayer burden and formed a 501(c)(3) organization.

they can play together and meet friends.”

She credits a team of dedicated people with making the dog park a reality, including Dr. Carla Douple of Landisville Animal Hospital, who co-founded the space, and Gail Fridy, who McCleary calls the “Fundraising Ninja.”

“(Gail) doesn’t even own a dog, yet her commitment to the cause is a primary reason DPMJ has a success story to tell,” McCleary said.

pool is a familiar sight, so bring a towel.”

The park is open from sunrise to sunset yearround and requires a security swipe card to access. There is an annual membership fee, but financial assistance is available on a case-by-case basis.

“We collaborated with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to form an ideal public/private partnership model and received a $60,000 grant for the project,” McCleary explained. “We tapped into a communitywide need that transcends any and all other differences we may have. The common thread among dog lovers is their deep love for their pups and joy at finding a place where

DPMJ members come from the local community and as far away as Elizabethtown, Manheim, Lancaster, Millersville, Mountville, Lebanon and Hershey. Several members live in other states and visit on occasion.

“The park has a two-acre section for large dogs and a one-acre section for small dogs,” McCleary said. “Both sections feature trees for shade, benches, chairs, waste disposal bins and a fresh water supply in the entry area. On hot days, pups dipping in the baby

“Sometimes, as I stand in the park with sunshine on my face, a gentle breeze in my hair and goosebumps on my arms, I get choked up, knowing firsthand the love and effort invested in this park and the joy it has brought to so many two-legged and four-legged beings,” McCleary said. “The park resonates with the spirits of hundreds of dogs who have passed away since we opened, including four of our own. They are all together in the next dimension, panting and slobbering and putting their paws together for a job well done.”

As community hosts in partnership with Weave: The Social Fabric Project at the Aspen Institute, the Lancaster County Community Foundation and Lancaster County Local Journalism Fund are launching a four-year effort to find, support, and celebrate everyday neighbors who are building trust, nurturing belonging, and weaving the social fabric in the community. Through this year’s Weaver Awards, 20 local individuals or small organizations will be selected to receive $2,500 each to support their work fostering connection in Lancaster County. The Weaver Awards are a way the community can amplify and support the everyday people in local neighborhoods, schools, places of worship, and jobs who are weaving threads of connection through the community.

Nominations are open, and nominees must be residents of Lancaster County who are age 18 and older. While many people in Lancaster County are serving their neighbors, the Weaver Awards are intended for

those whose projects also create lasting relationships and build trust as people work together to strengthen their community and weave a tighter social fabric.

People may apply for an award themselves or recommend a neighbor at www.weavelancaster county.org. The application is intentionally simple, asking questions about the people involved, their project, and their community.

Local nonprofit organizations with an operating budget less than $250,000 are also encouraged to apply. Nominations will close on Friday, July 24. Award winners will be announced and celebrated at a public event on Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026.

Investing in and catalyzing connection in the community is a focus for both the Lancaster County Community Foundation and the Lancaster County Local Journalism Fund. Following a national application process, they were together selected as one of 25 community host organizations across the U.S.

organizational culture, and sustained momentum going into the next strategic plan.

The executive committee of the board evaluated a short list of potential presidential candidates and gave particular attention to demonstrated leadership capacity, institutional integration, strategic execution, and spiritual maturity. The committee recommended Chambers to the Board of Trustees.

Chambers has served as executive vice president during a pivotal season in LBC’s history. In his role, he has acted as a primary leader in designing and executing the college’s strategic plan, strengthening organizational alignment, implementing institution-wide Key Performance Indicators, enhancing professional development, and reinforcing a culture of clarity, accountability, and mission-centered decision-making.

At the center of Chambers’ leadership is a commitment to students and a desire to ensure that Jesus Christ remains central to the Lancaster Bible College experience. His leadership has consistently emphasized spiritual formation, belonging, student flourishing, and mission alignment

Shortly after purchasing our business, we met our local rep. Jacob was professionally persistent and got us on board with our first publication. We saw results - more than we expected or hoped for. The ad was beautiful, in front of the right demographic and it made a difference. We have consistently purchased spots since then and have zero regrets on any of it. We are very thankful for EPC and Jacob!

across both on-campus and online student populations. Through the development of an emerging Spiritual Formation Framework and the implementation of one of the college’s most comprehensive Student Experience Surveys, he helped create institution-wide insight into how students are flourishing academically, spiritually, relationally, and personally both inside and outside the classroom. This work aimed to strengthen cross-department collaboration, inform retention and engagement strategies, and reinforce LBC’s commitment to educating and developing students who are prepared to serve Christ faithfully in the church and society.

Chambers has demonstrated the ability to lead across all areas of the college, translating vision into execution while maintaining a focused commitment to “educating Christian students to think and live a biblical worldview and to proclaim Christ by serving Him in the Church and society.” He has also served as an adviser to the president and a key integrator of institutional strategy and culture. In addition, Chambers was identified by Kiedis as his recommended successor. Kiedis cited Chambers’ proven leadership, humble boldness, student focus, fundraising acumen, and continual learning.

Reading Railroad Days Planned

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, will host its annual Reading Railroad Days from Wednesday, July 1, to Sunday, July 5, and Wednesday, July 8, to Saturday, July 11. Reading Railroad Days will take place during regular museum hours and will be included in the regular museum admission.

A detailed HO-scale model train layout of the Reading Railroad, operated by members of the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society, is a centerpiece in the museum’s climate-controlled Rolling Stock Hall. Visitors also may view Reading Company equipment from the museum’s collection, including the 108-yearold tank engine No. 1251, the 95-year-old multiple unit commuter car No. 800, and the 188-year-old Rocket steam locomotive.

Artist Peter A. Lerro Jr. will display and sell his original railroad paintings and reproductions.

In its heyday, the Reading Company was a multifaceted industrial giant. Originally established as the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad in 1833 to transport anthracite coal, the 94-mile line evolved into a large corporation serving eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Operations included coal mining, iron making, canal and sea-going transportation, and shipbuilding. With its great complex of shops for locomotive and car building and repair, and constant advances in railroad technology, the company held a position of leadership in the railroad industry for over a century.

Visitors may purchase advance tickets online at www.rrmuseumpa .org or at the door. For more information about the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, visit the aforementioned website or call 717-687-8628.

Triathlon Has Become Health, Fitness Day in Lititz

The Lititz recCenter looks at life through the wide lens. The Lititz recCenter is in it for the long haul. The Lititz recCenter goes the distance. Of all the events that it sponsors, few epitomize

the Lititz recCenter’s mission in quite the same way that its annual triathlon does.

“You don’t have to be really fit to do it,” said Simon Ababou, Lititz recCenter’s fitness director, who founded the triathlon in 2015. “Our triathlon is good for beginners. You just have to practice a little bit and take your time.”

The Way Thrift Shops Used To Be!

The Lititz recCenter’s annual triathlon is approaching. This year’s version of the unique community event will be contested from the recCenter’s headquarters at 301 Maple St., Lititz, at 8 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 9 - with one notable supplementation.

In addition to the swimbike-run triathlon, the event will also feature a new bike-run competition for athletes not necessarily interested in swimming. Pre-event registration for both races can be completed at https://lititzrec .com. Registration will also be available in-person on the day of the race, between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m.

Prizes will be awarded to the top overall female and male finishers, and medals will be earned by the top

three male and female finishers in nine age categories, from under 20 to over 70. Snacks, ice towels and goodie bags will be provided for the contestants.

“The feel is really, really community,” said Ababou. “The energy level is high. Everybody has come to this cool town, and you see people going to businesses downtown. It’s about bringing people together. We want people to enjoy healthy lifestyles.”

Spectators are welcome, and a food truck will be parked on-site. The Lititz recCenter’s Triathlon is being supported by 15 sponsors.

“We always hear nice comments from the participants,” said Ababou. “They appreciate how much work we put into it. It’s well organized. The roads are well marked. I think it’s the best in the county, period.”

Competitors will navigate 300 meters of swimming, 15.8 miles of biking and 3.1 miles of running. The Liititz recCenter’s outdoor pool will provide the swim venue, scenic backroads between Lititz and Manheim will serve as the cycling course and historic downtown Lititz will serve as the setting for running.

“If you put some practice into it, it’s good,” said Ababou. “It’s also good to be familiar with the course,

but you won’t get lost.”

Nearly 300 contestants, mostly from Lancaster County and from surrounding communities like York and Harrisburg, but also from as far away as Maryland, New Jersey and New York, are expected to compete.

In addition to its role as a fitness and health promoter, the event also serves as a fundraiser for the Lititz recCenter. Organizers are hoping to raise $30,000 from the triathlon and bike-run.

The proceeds will be used to finance programs at Lititz recCenter, particularly youth programs.

A combination of 40 staff members and volunteers is required to efficiently stage the event.

The Lititz recCenter welcomed 119 competitors when Ababou initially established the event

11 years ago.

“I said, ‘Lancaster County needs a triathlon,’” said Ababou. “We were just learning at first, but it went fine. The number of participants and the number of sponsors has grown; there’s more interest in it.”

Overseen by a board of directors, the Lititz recCenter, which takes a holistic approach to wellness, conducts activities and classes like yoga, Pilates, strengthening, sports programs and child care.

“(The triathlon and bike-run) fits with what we do at the recCenter,” said Ababou. “We have different programs for every age, from babies to seniors. The recCenter is a great, great organization with great leaders, great staff and great members. I think the organization is growing, but it’s all about the community.”

Food Safety Courses Offered

Penn State Extension will offer several food safety certification courses. To register for any of these courses and for more information, call 877-345-0691 or visit https://extension.psu.edu/ food-safety-manager-cer tificate-training-options.

The ServSafe Food Safety Manager course will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, July 14 and 21, in Room 113 at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. The exam will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28.

The in-person trainings will teach participants how to prevent contamination by properly receiving, storing, preparing, cooking, cooling, and serving food and by sanitizing food service facilities. The course

will be led by certified ServSafe instructors.

The course fee covers the cost of the most recent edition of the ServSafe Manager book, learning materials, and exam. The deadline to register for the course and exam is Tuesday, July 7.

The TAP Online Food Safety Manager Certification course will also be offered. This course helps food service managers, chefs, caterers, cooks, health officials, and inspectors prepare to take a Food Protection Manager certification exam, such as ServSafe.

The online course is self-paced, can be started anytime throughout the year, and must be completed within 180 days of enrollment. While the

online portion can be taken anytime, the exam is conducted in person. There is a fee.

Participants who complete the in-person or online course and pass the proctored multiple-choice exam with a score of 70% or higher will receive a ServSafe Food Protection Manager certificate. This certificate is valid for five years.

A third option, the Food Safety Manager Certification Prep Course, will be available as a live online webinar that will prepare participants for the certification exam. Participants will receive live instruction from food safety experts without needing to travel. A textbook will be mailed before the first day’s class.

Wolf Sanctuary

“Our volunteers are great at interacting with the public,” said Vandernewt. “They share their passion for wolves. Our tour program is a big fundraiser, and our volunteers really help run that.”

The Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania was founded by Lititz residents Bill and Barbara Darlington in 1980. The facility was a

private sanctuary before becoming a nonprofit in 1993.

As it has evolved over the years, the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania has added to its resident wolf population, hired more staff members and reinvented its methods for educating the public about wolves. For additional information, go to www.wolf sanctuarypa.org.

Volunteers prepare for a chore at the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania.

If you’re female, single and between the ages of 16 and 20 (as of June 1), you could be royalty.

The Elizabethtown Fair is seeking candidates for its fair queen competition, which will be held on Monday, Aug. 24, at 6 p.m. on the Kiwanis Stage on the fairgrounds, 900 E. High St.

To run for fair queen, additional qualifications include residence in Lancaster, Lebanon or Dauphin counties; parental or guardian consent; and no previous history of serving as a local fair queen or former state contestant.

“These requirements ensure fairness, consistency and eligibility for the statewide competition,” said Alyssa Neff, co-coordinator of the Elizabethtown Fair Queen competition.

A great candidate for the competition typically has strong communication skills; genuine interest in agriculture, fairs, youth programs or community service; professionalism and reliability; warmth and approachability; and leadership qualities that make her comfortable speaking to groups, meeting officials and advocating for agriculture, Neff said.

“You don’t need to be a farm kid or have a 4-H or FFA background,” she explained. “Just (be) someone who cares about the fair and its mission.”

The fair queen has a variety of responsibilities, including representing the fair at community events, ceremonies, parades and agricultural functions; participating in the state fair queen competition in Hershey each January; engaging with fairgoers during fair week by presenting awards, greeting visitors, supporting youth exhibitors and promoting agricultural education; and advocating for agriculture and the importance of fairs in Pennsylvania.

Alternate Elizabethtown Fair Queen, and Felicity Astfalk, 2025 Elizabethtown Fair Queen

“The fair queen serves as the public face and ambassador of the fair for one full year,” Neff explained. “In short, she is the spokesperson, cheerleader and representative for both the Elizabethtown Fair and agriculture in Elizabethtown.”

At the competition during the fair, the candidates must present a prepared speech, often about the importance of fairs or agriculture. They

also participate in an interview with a panel of judges and answer an impromptu question to test their poise and communication skills. The application includes a written essay as well.

Above all, successful fair queens must exhibit strong stage presence and professionalism, Neff said.

“There is no talent portion in the traditional sense,” she said. “This is an ambassador role, not a talent pageant.”

The winner and alternate will both receive college scholarship money.

Neff emphasized that the fair queen plays a role beyond the weeklong Elizabethtown Fair.

She promotes agricultural literacy, helping the public understand where food comes from. She supports youth exhibitors in 4-H, FFA and other programs, and she serves as a bridge between the agricultural community and the general public. She also represents Pennsylvania agriculture statewide, especially at the state queen competition, and she encourages community involvement and highlights the value of local fairs.

“She helps keep agricultural traditions alive while inspiring the next generation,” Neff said.
