Middletown Arts And Crafts Fair To Return he Middletown Area Historical Society of Dauphin County will present the 46th annual Middletown Arts and Crafts Fair in Hoffer Park, located on Mill Street, on Saturday, June 12, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. This fair is a tradition that celebrates the Middletown Resolves, which declared Middletown’s independence from Great Britain in 1774, two years before the Declaration of Independence was ratified. The fair is a free event. It will include more than 100 art and craft vendors, a variety of food booths, entertainment, and a cruise-in car show. Crafts to be featured include painting, pottery, acrylics, wood working, and broom making. New this year will be the Craft Beer & Wine Café, where guests age 21 and over will be able to enter the main pavilion and purchase beverages from Tattered Flag Brewery & Distillery of Middletown and J&P Winery of Grantville. Guests can park on public streets or at Fink Elementary School, 150 Race St., at no charge. Free shuttle transportation will be provided by Rohrer Bus Services from Fink to Hoffer Park and back again. The fair’s sponsors are Suez, The Giant Company, Members 1st Federal Credit Union, Renewal By Anderson Central PA, and Rohrer Bus. Proceeds will benefit Middletown Area Historical Society of Dauphin County and its mission to collect, preserve, and teach about the history of Middletown and the surrounding area.

Fundraiser To Provide COVID Relief In Bolivia A local youth recently undertook a project to aid Bolivian orphans as part of a larger COVID-19 outreach through Friends In Action Intl. (FIA), a nonprofit headquartered in Middletown. The project began when Lily Medich, 11, of York, learned through FIA’s website about the great need in Bolivia. Northern Bolivia in particular has been significantly affected during the pandemic and continues to be severely underresourced. The town hospital has a maximum capacity of 35 beds and one ventilator, and many people from nearby villages along the Amazon River travel two days to find medical items as simple as acetaminophen. Bolivian doctors have run out of many medications. “I can’t imagine living somewhere where there are no food banks, no shelters, or no clothing banks to help the people. I just knew I had to help in any way I could,” commented Lily. See FIA pg 3
