Funding Clean Water Projects BY CATHY MOLITORIS
“Clean water is a community issue,” said Allyson Gibson, director of strategic partnerships and programs for Lancaster Clean Water Partners. “It affects public health with drinking water. It can affect real estate values, and it plays a big part in our entire quality of life.” Gibson’s efforts to provide clean water just got a big boost. The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners presented a check for $3.4 million to the Lancaster County Conservation District and Lancaster Clean Water Partners to fund 11 clean water projects throughout the county. The funding represents the largest single investment in clean water in Lancaster County government history. The check was presented at the Conewago Recreation Trail in Elizabethtown. The site was specifically chosen, Gibson said, to highlight the three-phase, multi-municipal Conewago Creek Floodplain Restoration Project. “There are many partners
Food is a highlight of the Elizabethtown Fair.
A Fun Time At The Fair e provide something for all ages - babies up through senior citizens,” said Sally Nolt, describing the Elizabethtown Fair. The 2022 Elizabethtown Fair will run from Monday, Aug. 22, through Saturday, Aug. 27, at the fairgrounds, 900 E. High St. “We have a lot of new entertainment this year,” said Nolt, fair secretary. “Pentagon is back after an absence, and the LUV GODS are new this year.” Other new acts include Ironwood Drive Band, which performs bluegrass; The Sounds of Charlie Lee; and the Dave
Khristyn Maurer will offer a story time and crafts for children at 10:30 a.m. in the petting zoo area. Also new this year will be an aquaponics display, entertainment from one-man sideshow Dave Darwin, country line dancing with DJ Chicken Nugget, country music from Corina Rose, a 2-by-4 woodworking competition and an obstacle course for children. “We also have lots of good food,” Nolt noted. “We are a free (admission) fair, and we have people who come every night just to eat dinner.” Popular food items include Harvey’s Main Street BBQ, pretzel sandwiches and Grange milkshakes. “We have a lot of local church and
civic groups who sell food, and that is their main fundraiser for the year,” Nolt said. “The money they make gets funneled right back into the community.” The fair truly offers something for everyone, Nolt commented. “We are an agricultural fair, so we have lots of animals, and we also have great competitive exhibits in the church (next to the fairgrounds),” she stated. “Local businesses have the opportunity to showcase what they do in the exhibit area. There is so much to see and do.” For more information on the Elizabethtown Fair, including a complete schedule of events, visit www.etownfair.com.
