ome casual and come hungry.” That’s Jodie Mylin’s advice for people who attend Peach Fest. The fifth annual event will be held Saturday, Aug. 9, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. inside Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church, 1199 Valley Road, Quarryville. Everyone is invited. The event will include a free meal, but donations will be accepted for the Women’s Mission Fund, which supports organizations such as Toys for Tots, the Pastor’s Fuel Fund, New Hope Community Ministries, and Solanco Neighborhood Ministries. Most of the food will be homemade by Middle Octorara congregants, including Shirley Miller and members of the Middle Octorara Presbyterian Women (MOPW). “I feel like the MOPW is really made up of the cornerstones of this church, the women that have been very involved for most of their lives,” said Mylin. “So they’re very familiar with the kitchen.” The menu will include hamburger barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs, baked beans, macaroni salad, potato chips, and beverages. The stars of the show will be a variety of peach treats, including pies and cobblers, milkshakes, and jelly. “It’s all about the fellowship,” Mylin said. “It’s just a really good opportunity to get to know your neighbors. We have a wonderful church here. We have a great space to have it in, and it’s just a really good time for fellowship. And it’s nice that you can come in and enjoy a meal. I think it would be nice to come even if you’ve

Providence Township is so eager to welcome visitors to its National Night Out (NNO) event that it is providing extra incentives to entice people to attend. People who come to NNO will be able to enter for a chance to win prizes such as a s’mores maker, a barbecue tool set, gift certificates, and gift cards from Giant and Strasburg Rail Road. Visitors can also sign up for the opportunity to win a gift basket from Providence Township administrative assistant and NNO coordinator Traci Frantz, which will include her book “With Courage and Grace.” Teenagers ages 13 to 17 can enter to win a mountain bike. Kids age 12 and under can sign up to win a kick scooter and underwater camera. Providence Township National Night Out will be held rain or shine Tuesday, Aug. 5, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the township office building, 200 Mt. Airy Road, New Providence. “National Night Out is a time and a place when the community can get together and network with their first responders, with their neighbors that they do know or may not know, and make friends,” Frantz said. “It’s really to familiarize themselves with the services in case of an emergency.” To that end, Quarryville Fire Company will bring a smoke house to teach about fire prevention, and Penn State Health will have a Life Lion helicopter on-site.
