Ice cream social at Mary Oehme Gardens to be fronted by Steel Radiance BY JEFF FALK
M
usic, ice cream and gardens don’t have all that much in common. What they do is complement each other very well. Music, ice cream and gardens are the premise upon which the Lititz Historical Foundation’s next big event is based. The annual fundraiser will benefit the very venue in which it is being staged. “It’s really a fun, friendly atmosphere,” said Cory Van Brookhoven, president of the Lititz Historical Foundation. “It’s a great atmosphere. You get to see your neighbors and listen to great music, all against a backdrop of a beautiful garden. The event is enhanced by the gardens.” The 10th annual ice cream social will be presented by the Lititz Historical Foundation on
Sunday, Sept. 1 - the day before Labor Day - at 6:30 p.m. at the foundation’s Mary Oehme Gardens, 145 E. Main St., Lititz. The pay-as-you-will event will feature five flavors of ice cream from Greco’s of Lititz, a performance by the all-female local band Steel Radiance and the natural beauty of the gardens. Along with the ice cream, additional refreshments will be available. The ice cream social is being sponsored by Tiger’s Eye of Lititz, and all proceeds from the event will go toward maintaining and sprucing up the Mary Oehme Gardens. Participants and spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets and their dancing shoes. In the case of inclement weather, the ice cream social will be pushed back to the following Sunday, Sept. 8.
At Sky Bridge, kids’ imagination knows no boundaries BY JEFF FALK
Kids love to discover. Kids love to be independent. Kids love to think. Kids love Sky Bridge. The High Foundation Sky Bridge, designed and fabricated by Luckey Climbers, is the Lancaster Science Factory’s latest hands-on exhibit for young learners. It represents the best kind of ingenuity, the kind that
inspires others to be creative. “More than learning, it’s about inspiring children,” said Amanda Bakay, the Lancaster Science Factory’s director of programs and communications. “When they see it and get inside of it, they start to realize they could create something like this one day. It sparks an idea like, ‘What did someone have to do to think this thing up?’” Part jungle gym, part science See Sky Bridge pg 5

Nature preserves in Elizabeth Township are work of Lancaster Conservancy BY JEFF FALK
Of all God’s gifts, of all the natural resources we’ve been given, land is among the most precious. It’s certainly worth protecting. The Lancaster Conservancy exists for the sole purpose of preserving land and ensuring that its use is beneficial to all. It’s the type of work that sometimes can go unnoticed or be taken for granted. “We’re trying to protect as much land as we can and make it available to the community De Perrot Woods is one of four nature preserves in Elizabeth Township See Lancaster Conservancy pg 3 protected by Lancaster Conservancy.
