American Heritage Girls troop will hold craft show
A
merican Heritage Girls Troop PA 3125 will hold its vendor and craft show fundraiser on Saturday, April 5. The annual event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Kreider Building at the Solanco Fai r g ro und s , Park Avenue , Quarryville. The troop raises money by selling spaces to vendors and will also receive a portion of the proceeds from a food truck that will be on-site. Each vendor will provide an item that attendees can purchase
a chance to win. Troop coordinator Kaitlynn Yetzer said she expects between 40 and 50 vendors, which will be selling a variety of items. “If you need any spring or Easter items, you will have a lot of options,” Yetzer said. “And you’re supporting local businesses and a local group of girls who give back to the community and who are a great group of kids.” Volunteer Danielle Worrell is in charge of organizing the event, and she gets plenty of help from troop members. The girls help with the planning and set up the layout of
the vendors. “Certain vendors need certain things,” said Yetzer. “Some may need electricity. We try to accommodate the older vendors. The girls are learning how to meet others’ needs.” Last year, troop members learned how small businesses operate, and this is an extension of that program. Boys from the Trail Life USA group, the male equivalent of American Heritage Girls, assist with parking. “This is our main fundraiser of the year and is put towards service projects, equipment, and special activities for the girls,” said Yetzer.

A Christian nonprofit group is eager to help Solanco homeowners. Good Neighbors Home Repair, an organization founded in Kennett Square 33 years ago, has been helping Southern End residents for the past four years and is hoping to assist more. “We provide critical home repairs for low-income neighbors, and repairs are free,” Good Neighbors executive director Harold Naylor said. Naylor said the group focuses on four types of repairs: fixes that make existing homes warmer, safer, drier, and healthier. “We are trying to serve the folks who can put food on the table, can keep their lights on, and drive a car, but don’t have any money for deferred maintenance,” Naylor said. “So when
