Chamber Will Hold Chicken Barbecue The Mount Joy Chamber of Commerce will hold its chicken barbecue on Saturday, Aug. 21, and people have been eagerly anticipating the annual event, said Kerry Meyers, executive director of the Chamber. “I started getting calls months ago, wondering if we had barbecue tickets yet,” she stated. “People called the Chamber, and they called the library. They heard it sold out last year, and they wanted to be sure they got tickets.” The barbecue will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the rear of the Milanof-Schock Library, 1184 Anderson Ferry Road, Mount Joy. There will be options for drive-through or walk-up pickup. The meal will include a See Chicken Barbecue pg 7

Auction Tells Community, “We’re Still Standing” BY CATHY MOLITORIS
oosely quoting Elton John, the Milanof-Schock Library has a message for you: “We’re still standing.” The library is using that theme for its annual benefit auction, which will be held on Saturday, Aug. 28, beginning at 9 a.m. at the library, 1184 Anderson Ferry Road,
L
Mount Joy. It’s been a tough year for the library, and last year’s auction had to be canceled due to the pandemic. This year, the organizers decided to try something different from the traditional event, which had included a ticketed, sit-down dinner. “Our previous auction was very exclusive, and this event will be very inclusive,” said Jean Witmer, auction
co-chair. “I’m excited about that.” The auction will be held outdoors, is free to attend and will include a variety of items for both silent and live bidding as well as giveaway drawings. Items up for bid include American Girl dolls, jewelry, artwork and more. Hess Auction Group will donate auctioneer services, and Stan Tucker will be the master of ceremonies
of the event. “We’re more family-friendly this year,” noted Kim Beach, auction cochair, adding that the event will feature games and crafts for kids. Food vendors will include Dutch Country Hand-Rolled Soft Pretzels and Mulberry Thrill ice cream. The Friends of the Milanof-Schock Library will host a bake sale and drink stand as well.
