regularly meets at Saint Leo the Great Catholic Church on Marietta Avenue.

across the country to provide communities with youth enrichment activities. “The kids love to participate,” said George Elko, director of the Free Throw Championship and member of Council 6810. “Even the kids that don’t score high enough to win get excited and have fun.” The Knights of Columbus will require participants to complete a registration form at the door, which will include written parental consent and identification to verify the contestant’s age. Documents such as a copy of a birth certificate and a passport will be accepted, and although these items are not required to participate, contestants will not be able to claim any prizes unless they provide identification. After completing registration, each contestant will shoot five balls in a row in three rounds to determine the winners. In the event of a tie, the contestants with tied scores will shoot an additional five balls in a tie-breaker round. Six winners will be selected from each age and gender category based on how high they score during the competition. All participants will receive a certificate of participation, but winning players will receive a winner’s certificate as well as a plaque or trophy. Winning contestants will also progress to the district-level competition, where they will have an opportunity to qualify for the regional and state free throw championships. The international free throw champions will be named by the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council based on the contestants’ scores from the state championship after all games have been completed in the spring. For more information, contact Elko by calling 717-203-6210 or emailing gmelko@comcast.net.

A Call To All Animal Lovers BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
Mulberry Art Studios, 21 N. Mulberry St., Lancaster, invites all animal lovers and artists to share their submissions for its annual “We Love Our Pets” show. The show will exhibit during the month of May for National Pet Month, and submissions will be accepted until Monday, April 10. Submissions may be artwork in any medium, such as photography, sculpture, painting or collage, and both professional and amateur artists of any age are encouraged to participate. All artwork is free to
submit, and artists may submit any number of pieces. Mulberry Art Studios will accept five to eight pieces of artwork per adult and three pieces per child. The only criterion for submissions is that they depict an animal that would reasonably be kept as a pet, meaning that pieces that portray fictional and undomesticated animals will not be accepted. “It doesn’t have to be your pet specifically, but it has to be reasonable,” said Stephanie Kulfan, gallery curator at Mulberry Art Studios. “It’s supposed to be a celebration of our love of animals and their significance in our lives.” See Pet Art Show pg 8
Artists of any age and skill may submit artwork of their furry friends for the exhibit.
