CROP Hunger Walk To Return To Muddy Run BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
The annual CROP Hunger Walk will be held on Saturday, Oct. 15, at Muddy Run Park, 172 Bethesda Church Road West, Holtwood. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m., followed by the start of the walk at 9 a.m. The event is open to members of the public of all abilities and will have activities for children who participate. This year will mark the 43rd CROP Hunger Walk in Solanco, a tradition that was started by the Solanco
Ministerium in 1980. The ministerium coordinated the event until 2006, at which point Mechanic Grove Church of the Brethren took over management of the walk. Church members Mary Etta Reinhart and Don Trimble have been co-chairs of the walk for the last 16 years and have made some adjustments that included moving it to Muddy Run Park and shortening the distance from 10 miles to 5 miles. “It’s been a wonderful change,” said Reinhart. “The walk has been completely revamped.” See CROP Walk pg 8
Activities for children will be offered at the walk.
The parade draws local bands as well as performers from outside of the state.

“ We wanted to use the animal theme because it’s so inclusive to so many types of organizations.” Each Millersville parade traditionally has a new theme that recognizes different people or events, such as last year’s “Hometown Heroes” theme, which recognized first responders and military personnel.
St. Paul Lutheran Church will hold a service on Sunday, Oct. 16, at 4 p.m. to celebrate the beginning of its first congregation in Millersville. The service will open with the dedication of a memorial tree on church grounds and will be followed by a dinner reception inside the church after the service. There is a set fee for the reception; to register, contact the St. Paul Church office at 717-872-7392 or office@stpaulmillersville.org.
