MAHS To Host Program on General Custer The Millersville Area Historical Society (MAHS) will host a presentation titled “From Pennsylvania to Custer’s Last Stand and Back” when it meets at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13, in the Millersville Borough Administration & Police Building, 100 Municipal Drive. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. and close at 9:15 a.m. The speaker will be longtime “Custeriana” student Steve Custer, whose grandfather and General R123958
Custer were third cousins. Steve will discuss the many connections between Pennsylvania and General Custer, including some in Lancaster, as well as connections to other individuals involved with the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Steve indicated that several of these relationships are well known, but most are surprising and include sites in Pennsylvania that are open to visitors. A question-and-answer period will conclude the meeting. See General Custer pg 7

Paloma Students Will Dance Their Way Into Holiday Hearts BY JEFF FALK
Members of the Paloma School of Irish Dance have something for you. It’s a gift of experience. It’s a gift of culture. It’s a gift of themselves. “I think there’s a lot more dancing and a lot more music in (Irish) culture,” said Esther Pujol, the founder and owner of Paloma School of Irish Dance. “I think the show embraces that, embraces that spirit. It’s about communities coming together and celebrating music and dance. The purpose of the show is to spread holiday cheer and bring some Celtic traditions to Lancaster County.” Paloma School of Irish Dance will present its Celtic Christmas Show present to the community at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 14, at Lancaster Mennonite School’s High Fine Arts Center, 2176 Lincoln Highway East, L ancaster. Modestly priced tickets for the school’s first-ever Christmas performance, which will feature traditional and modern Celtic dance and music, can be purchased in advance at www.palomaboosterclub.com/ celtic-christmas-show-2025. html or at the door on the night of the show. “I think the audience is going to fall in love with Irish dance,” said Pujol. “I hope (the audience members) are pleasantly surprised, like it’s better than they expected. I think there was a generation who was familiar with Riverdance. But I think there’s a younger generation who hasn’t been exposed to it or know what it is.”
