Garden Spot
Community Car Show Will Help Extinguish Fires
BY JEFF FALK
At the Weaverland Valley Fire Department’s annual car show, it’s sometimes difficult to distinguish who’s having more fun - those taking in the sights and sounds or those showcasing their beautiful
vehicles. Perhaps the best way to settle this modest little debate is to say that a good time will be had by all.
Weaverland Valley Fire Department will present the 43rd edition of its popular, fundraising car show during the afternoon hours of Sunday, June 7, at Terre Hill
Community Park, 210 Lancaster Ave., Terre Hill. The rain-or-shine event, which will get underway at 11:30 a.m. and conclude around 3 p.m., is open to the public and free to spectators.
Parking is also free.
“Terre Hill Park is a very nice park,” said Harold Kilhefner, the
Memorial Day Is Very Special Occasion in Churchtown
The American Civil War ended in 1865. Over the next 160 years, veterans have been honored in Churchtown every single year.
This year will be no exception.
The Caernarvon Historical Society (CHS), which is located at 2148 Main St., Narvon, will again sponsor a series of events honoring veterans in Churchtown on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25. The festivities will get underway at 4 p.m. and last until 7 p.m., when a short, patriotic parade will make its way through town.
“They’ve been doing it every year since the Civil War,” said Yvonne Styer, president of CHS. “One hundred and sixty continuous celebrations of veterans.”

Surrounded by 33 acres of woods and gardens, as well as the grounds of Lancaster County Central Park, Historic Rock Ford, which dates its origins to the 1700s, is home to General Edward Hand’s mansion and features the John J. Snyder Gallery. It truly is one of the county’s cultural and historic landmarks.
“It’s one of Lancaster’s hidden
gems,” said Christina McSherry, who’s been the executive director of Historic Rock Ford for two years. “The topic is going to be about the house we have here, its architecture and how we interpret it. My goal is to let people know about that part of Lancaster County that’s in their backyard and they might not know about. I would hope people are interested in this piece of history that’s part of their community.”
The Churchtown ladies auxiliary will serve food at the fire hall, 2145 Main St., Narvon, beginning at 4 p.m., and Twin Valley Bible Chapel pastor Joshua Sahl will present the invocation and benediction. Rev. Mark Scheneman from Bangor Episcopal Church will serve as the evening’s master of ceremonies, pastor Johnathan Brown will deliver the keynote address, and special guest David Carney will portray President Abraham Lincoln and recite the Gettysburg Address.
CHS will also present a photo display of more than 200 veterans from Caernarvon Township, a display that will be available for viewing for the remainder of the year at CHS’ headquarters.
“Everybody around comes out for it,” said Styer. “People get there early and get something to eat. They bring their lawn chairs.

Car Show
organizer of the car show for the past 20 years. “There’s a big grass area, and there are a lot of trees and shade.”
As many as 150 vehicles of all makes, models, manufacturers and years will be available for viewing. First-, second- and third-place prizes will be awarded in 18 business-sponsored categories, as well as an overall top prize for the best of show.
The prize recipients will be determined by a vote of spectators and peers. Winners will be announced at 2:30 p.m., and the vehicles will be paraded to the park’s stage area, where they will receive their prizes.
Vehicle entries are expected from all over Lancaster County, as well as Berks, Lebanon, York and Chester counties, and even as far away as Maryland. Owners can pay to register their vehicles between 8:30 and 11:30 a.m. on the day of the car show.
“I’m amazed by how far they come,” said Kilhefner. “Car owners can just show up.”
Refreshments prepared inside the
kitchen at the park’s pavilion will be available.
“If you want to come out, you can get lunch or breakfast and look at some cars,” said Kilhefner.
Organizers of the car show are hoping to raise $5,000 for the Weaverland Valley Fire Department, which operates stations in Terre Hill and Goodville. The funds will be put toward general expenses at the fire department.
The Weaverland Valley Fire Department also conducts a fundraising mud sale in May and holds chicken barbecues throughout the year. The Weaverland Valley Fire Department was formed in 2013 through a merger of the Terre Hill Fire Company, which was established in 1910, and the Goodville Fire Company, which was established in 1912.
“I know they have some unique pieces, which is fairly typical of small fire companies,” said Kilhefner. For additional information, search “Weaverland Valley Fire Department” on Facebook.
Chorus Plans Spring Concert
The Ephrata Cloister Chorus will present its annual spring concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 17. The event will take place in the 1741 Meetinghouse at the Historic Ephrata Cloister, 632 W. Main St., Ephrata.

The program will also include selections from other early American musical traditions, as well as European classical works and music from global choral traditions. The concert will run approximately one hour.
Admission is free. Regular site admission to tour the historic grounds will be charged until 2:30 p.m., and after that time, guests may enter the site to attend the concert at no cost. Seating is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The event will take place rain or shine.

Pedaling Toward Confidence and Growth
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
At LifeCycles, a simple bike ride is the start of something bigger. With every mile, young riders build confidence, courage and resilience, skills that carry far beyond the road ahead. The nonprofit, which offers free long-distance cycling experiences for boys and girls ages 12 to 18, just kicked off its 12th season of transforming lives, one ride at a time.
Teams meet on Tuesdays at Riverfront Park, 551 Vinegar Ferry Road, Marietta, and on Thursdays at Amos Herr Park, 1700 Nissley Road, Landisville. Both groups gather at 5:45 p.m. and finish up at 8 p.m. The season runs through mid-October.
“There are separate girls’ teams and boys’ teams, and each team has multiple ride groups based on skill level and strength, so there’s a place for teens of any level of development, including beginners,” said Lee DeRemer, LifeCycles director.
Each evening, participants experience a ride, mentoring, a hot meal and lots of encouraging coaching while making new friends.
“We provide free 24-speed bicycles, helmets, uniform shirts, safety lights, everything,” Lee said. “Each evening, approximately 25 girls and 10 women ride together, and 45 boys and 20 men ride together in ride groups of six to nine riders. We use a separate curriculum for girls and boys - the curriculum is focused on character development, life skills and spiritual growth.”
supported by Community Fellowship Church of Lancaster and by more than 100 people who believe in the organization’s mission. LifeCycles began in 2015, when Lee and his wife, Marcie, created the program to provide friendship, mentoring and bike riding, all with a faith focus.
LifeCycles is open to youths throughout Lancaster County. Kids can join the program at any time during the season, Lee said, noting that many people join throughout the spring and summer as other commitments at school end and their calendars open up.
“LifeCycles is a great way to meet friends, grow and do something you probably already enjoy,” he remarked. “Come to improve your skills, see new parts of Lancaster County and beyond in a safe and positive environment.”
Beyond supporting biking skills, LifeCycles provides encouragement for kids to step out of their comfort zone and believe in their ability to “do hard things,” the organization’s motto.
“You can expect to be seen, valued and encouraged as you grow physically and spiritually,” Lee commented. “Many parents tell us that LifeCycles is the first thing that has captured their son’s or daughter’s attention, that they actually look forward to the next gathering.”
He encourages anyone who is interested in learning more to come out and try LifeCycles.
While riders of any skill level are encouraged to join LifeCycles, the more advanced riders are invited to participate in one of four summer challenge rides. Destinations will be Cape Cod and the Great Allegheny Passage, and two groups will travel from the Adirondack Mountains to northern Vermont and northern New Hampshire.
“We meet teens where they are and help them challenge themselves at their own pace of growth, physically, spiritually and mentally,” he said. “We focus intensely on safety and proper cycling skills to equip the teens for a life of enjoyable riding. … Come and try it. It’s free, and there are no tryouts. What have you got to lose?”
Based in Lancaster, LifeCycles is

Southeast Region of PFBC Promotes Waterway Well-being
BY JEFF FALK
The southeast portion of Pennsylvania is the most densely populated part of a predominantly rural state. But that doesn’t mean all those residents have to travel far to enjoy Pennsylvania’s outdoor recreational activities.
One of the main initiatives of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is to provide and promote natural fun in and around water.
“I think we really need to make people aware of all the opportunities around them,” said Andy Desko, who’s been the outreach and education coordinator for the Southeast Region of the PFBC for 18 years. “We want to help introduce folks to them right in their backyards. There are many accesses (to water) out there. People may not be aware that there are boat accesses near them. I want to inspire people to check out the opportunities.”
The PFBC’s Southeast Region office is headquartered just north of the town of Lititz, at 255 W. Brubaker Valley Road, Lititz, at Speedwell Forge Lake. The Southeast Region office, which is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays, primarily serves as the
rules and regulation enforcement headquarters for PFBC, but it does offer some services and amenities.
As outreach and education coordinator, Desko does work out of the Lititz office periodically, but he spends the majority of his work time in the field and around water.
“I really do enjoy interacting with people from all walks of life,” said Desko. “I grew up in a very rural county. I just enjoy the variety of opportunities around here. We all enjoy fishing. We all come from different backgrounds, but we share this love of being on the water. It feels good to introduce people to these sports.”
Housed in a renovated farmhouse, PFBC’s Southeast Region office employs administrative staff and law enforcement or Water Conservation Officers, who enforce fishing and boating regulations, creel limits and water pollution rules, as well as promote water safety and assist in trout stocking operations. The Southeast Region office also processes boat registrations, launch permits and discounted fishing licenses for disabled veterans, and it offers educational materials and opportunities for residents to borrow fishing rods.
“Our general mission is to protect, conserve and enhance
Garden Spot
the state’s aquatic resources and provide fishing and boating opportunities,” said Desko. “We do deliver educational programming in the Southeast Region. We do a lot of introductory programs, like teaching people how to fish and teaching people how to boat.”
The PFBC’s Southeast Region office is operated in one of six geographical regions throughout the commonwealth. The Southeast Region is made up of Lancaster, Berks, Chester, Lehigh, Bucks, Delaware, Schuylkill, Northampton, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties and is home to a host of lakes; streams; and major waterways, like the Schuylkill, Delaware and Conestoga rivers.
The Susquehanna River serves as a boundary between the Southeast and Southcentral regions.
out on the water. When anglers were surveyed, they said the reason they go out is not to catch big fish; it’s to spend time with family and friends, unplug and get away for recreation. They’re looking to spend time in the outdoors and reset their minds.”

“There’s a diversity of experiences in the Southeast Region,” said Desko. “We have stocked trout streams and wild trout streams. There are also migratory fish; the Delaware River has shad coming up. There are paddling opportunities for whitewater kayaking, as well as gentle paddling on lakes and ponds.
“In other regions, mountains and backwoods serve as the backdrops,” continued Desko. “We have plenty of fishing opportunities here, but they may be in places you don’t expect them to be. There are places you can catch monster flathead catfish. There are a lot of places in this region where you can get into some exceptional fishing; it’s just cities serve as the backgrounds instead of mountains.”
An inland state, Pennsylvania boasts a total of more than 86,000 miles of streams and rivers. In the state, nearly 850,000 fishing licenses, 350,000 boat registrations and 150,000 launch permits are sold each year, all of which help fund the PFBC.
The PFBC stocks 3.2 million raised trout in 684 streams and 130 lakes in Pennsylvania annually.
“We do see people across ages, from youth to retirees,” said Desko. “You have a lot of adults who are starting to mentor their children

New Holland Farmer’s 5K Planned
The New Holland Farmer’s 5K will return for its 21st year on Saturday, June 13, at the New Holland Community Memorial Park, located in the 400 block of Jackson Street. The event is a fundraiser to benefit the Garden Spot High School and Middle School cross-country boys’ and girls’ teams. Registration and packet pickup will begin at 7 a.m., and registration will conclude at 8:15 a.m. The race will begin at 8:30 a.m. The event will be held rain or shine, and runners and walkers are encouraged to sign up.
This year’s event has a new director, Cera Gaston, who is in her first year as the head coach for the Garden Spot cross-country teams.
Parking Lot & Multi-Family Yard Sale
In addition, the booster club has partnered with Pretzel City Sports for online registration and professional timing of the event this year.
The annual road race is known for the relative ease of the course, which will follow Jackson Street east to Ranck Road, where it will turn right. Participants will turn right again at Airport Road and again at Windsock Way before picking up Runway Avenue and returning to Airport Road. Runners will once again turn right to follow Kinzer Avenue, which will take them back to a right on Jackson Street to the park.
There will be a water course around the halfway point of the race, and snack and drinks will be
available after the racers finish. Awards will be presented to the top overall male and female winners, including a gift card from Fleet Feet and a large cowbell. The current course records are 15 minutes, 20 seconds for the men, set in 2023 by David Lutgen, and 18:12 for the women, set in 2012 by Aimee Taylor. In addition, the top male and female runners in various age groups - 19 and under, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, and 60 and over - will receive awards. In keeping with the farming theme of the event, cow bell awards with the new race logo will be given to age group winners.
Organizers hope to have at least 100 participants and raise $3,000
for the cross-country team through the 5K. The proceeds will help to fund warmup gear for freshmen, team T-shirts, participation in invitationals, the end-of-season banquet, senior gifts, any postseason expenses not covered by the school, and more.
For more information and to register, visit https://sites.google .com/view/gsxc or search for “2026 New Holland Farmer’s 5K” on Facebook. Questions may be emailed to gsxcboosterclub@gmail.com.
Those who preregister by Friday, May 15, will receive a dry tech T-shirt featuring the new race logo. Additional shirts will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for walk-up registrants on race day.

Fairmount Announces Events
Fairmount in Ephrata will hold a book sale on Friday, May 15, from noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday, May 16, from 7 to 10 a.m. in the Farm Crest Community Room, 1100 Farm Crest Drive, on the east side of the Fairmount campus. The sale is open to the public, with all books offered at half price on May 16.
The sale will feature thousands of books, as well as puzzles, magazines, and CDs. Materials will be sorted into more than a dozen categories, including history, biography, large print, reference, health and nutrition, self-help, Christian fiction, general fiction, hobbies, gardening, local interest, Christian nonfiction, theology, devotionals, cookbooks, Anabaptist materials, vintage books, magazines, music, and puzzles.
This year’s sale will include an especially large selection of children’s books and Christian theology resources - two categories that attendees have specifically requested in past years.
In addition to general inventory, the sale will feature a number of rare and collectible items, including books printed in the 1800s and locally significant publications. Among the highlights are an 1837 English “Martyr’s Mirror” printed in Lancaster, an 1805 “Die Wandlende Seel” printed in Germantown, and several historic German-language texts. Two volumes feature bookplates from Barbara Ebersole, a
well-known local Amish artist.
All proceeds will benefit Fairmount’s Sharing Fund, which helps bridge the gap between the cost of care and what residents are able to pay after their financial resources have been exhausted.
Fairmount will also host a spring open house on Tuesday, May 19, from 2 to 5 p.m.
Guests will have the opportunity to tour apartments, cottages, and Personal Care accommodations, as well as observe the progress of Orchard Terrace, Fairmount’s current cottage expansion.

Advance registration is encouraged by calling 717-3541811 or visiting www.fairmount homes.org.

For more information, visit the aforementioned website.
NHAHS
McSherry will address an audience of individuals interested in local history as part of the monthly community lecture series put on by the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS). McSherry’s talk will be presented at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 28, inside the chapel at Garden Spot Village, 433 S. Kinzer Ave., New Holland.
The event is open to the public and free to attend.
“I think a lot of local people know about it through a field trip. I get that often,” said McSherry. “What I want people to know is what we have to offer. A lot of people sort of forget about us out here. It’s a really significant example of 18th-century Lancaster. I want to talk about General Hand and what life was like in 18th-century Lancaster.”
McSherry’s Historic Rock Ford presentation will last about an hour and will include a question-and-answer session at the end.
“These presentations are lecture style,” said McSherry, a resident of Conestoga. “It’s a lecture and a PowerPoint presentation. I do tell stories. I’m an educator. I think my lectures tend to be interesting. It’s not show and tell. These are the kinds of presentations that museums do.”
“I think people are looking to find out more about the history of their community,” added McSherry. “I like to be able to connect with that and provide them with some things they don’t know. I’ve never spoken there
before. I’m always excited to talk with people and engage with people. Often the vibe in the room comes more from the audience than the presenters.”
McSherry gives as many as eight talks about Historic Rock Ford each year. Historic Rock Ford is located at 881 Rockford Road, Lancaster.
“(The lectures) get tweaked a little bit to match the interests of the location,” said McSherry. “They tend to be 18th-century focused and connected to Edward Hand or something we have at Historic Rock Ford. It’s a way to do outreach and share with people who we are and what we do.
“We’re a historically significant site,” McSherry continued. “We’re the most complete building to have survived in Lancaster County. We really value our place.”
The Historic Rock Ford program will serve as the final installment of NHAHS’ winter/spring series of presentations. The public education program will resume in September.
NHAHS’ local history series was initiated in 2007 at the New Holland Public Library before relocating to Garden Spot Village.
“With history, there’s this sense of learning from the past, which is absolutely true,” said McSherry. “Local history gives us a sense of shared identities. In the year of America250 and talking about the beginnings of the country, there is a sense of shared history.”

Pounding Pavement for Clinic for Special Children
BY JEFF FALK
Runners are self-motivated athletes. When they run and enter into their competitive zones, runners report feelings of exhilaration and jubilation.
They are feelings that can only be expanded by running for others, feelings that will be felt during the Clinic for Special Children’s upcoming 5K.
“It’s people intent on running,” said Renny Magill, the director of development for the Clinic for Special Children. “But there’s also almost a sense of a family reunion. Some are people running in support of a family member. They’re people who are interested in supporting the mission.”
“Obviously, we have some seri-
ous runners,” said Kelly Cullen, the marketing and communications manager for the Clinic for Special Children. “But when I think of the atmosphere of the event, I think of family. We’re a very family-friendly event. It may be families we serve. We’re welcoming a variety of physical abilities, and people really rally around our families.”
The Clinic for Special Children’s 8th annual 5K run is a community event, a fundraiser, and an outreach activity for the local nonprofit. This year’s 5K run will be staged at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 16, at the Leola Produce Auction, 135 Brethren Church Road, Leola.
Runners can register for the 5K at www.clinicforspecial children.org prior to the race or in
person beginning at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the event. All proceeds from the 5K will benefit the Clinic for Special Children, which serves kids and adults with rare genetic disorders.
“It’s open to anyone who has interest in running and supporting the mission,” said Cullen. “It brings people together, and it’s nice to see a community there. It helps us reach everyone about our mission and the work we do.”
“There’s more to this event than raising funds,” said Magill. “It’s also important to how we communicate our brand.”
In addition to the chip-timed 5K race, the event will feature a 1.5-mile family walk that will also begin at 9 a.m., as well as a

kids’ color fun run, which will get underway at 10:15 a.m. Prizes will be awarded to the top overall female finisher and top overall male finisher in the 5K race, as well as the top finishers in 12 age divisions, between 14 and under and 70 and older.
The event, which will provide healthy snacks for participants, will afford runners opportunities to create or join fundraising teams.
The 5K’s vibe will be enhanced by the presence of food trucks offering breakfast items and coffee for purchase.
“We’re doing things to make it fun,” said Magill, a resident of Akron. “We want a lot of people to have a great time.”
“It’s a happy celebration and a happy moment for the people we serve,” said Cullen, a resident of Manor Township. “We’ll have people walking and pushing strollers. It’s really a welcoming, positive event.”
The relatively flat 5K course will traverse scenic Lancaster County farmland. From the Leola Produce Auction, the course will take a right on Peace Road, a left on North Hershey Avenue, then a left on Balmertown Road, before taking a right on Brethren Church Road, a left on Center Square Road, a left on North Maple Avenue, and then a left on Peace Road before returning to the produce auction.
As many as 500 participants are expected to attend the event, and organizers of the event are seeking to make as much as $80,000 for the Clinic for Special Children. More than 30 local businesses and community members are sponsoring the 5K.

The Clinic for Special Children, which is located at 20 Community Lane, Gordonville, operates under a $7 million annual budget, 70% of which is funded by benefit auctions, contributions, grants and fundraisers.
“Giving represents 70% of our revenue and allows us to provide services that are affordable and fundable,” said Magill. “Part of the reason we do so well is that we have very generous patrons.”
The Clinic for Special Children, which was founded in 1989, serviced 5,700 patient interactions in 2025 from individuals challenged by rare genetic disorders.
“Each year, 400 new patients walk through our door,” said Cullen. “Not only are we caring for children and adults, but we’re also furthering the science. Our work from the plain community, and many are
