Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese This time of year is one for celebration and looking forward in anticipation of the coming year. So far the region has only seen a couple of small snowstorms, but our photographer captured this uplifting image at the Lititz Springs Park after the latest storm left the area covered in white. Everyone at The Shopping News wishes all of our readers a blessed new year.
