Hummelstown Is Happening ummelstown’s history and future events are being highlighted through its new branding, “Hummelstown Is Happening,� which includes a new logo and new Facebook and Instagram pages. The Borough of Hummelstown also has an updated website that offers information for residents, business owners and visitors. “We are here and happening and have so much for the residents and visitors - shopping, dining and events,� said Melissa Miller, communication coordinator for the Borough of Hummelstown. “(Hummelstown) is a great place to live, work and play.� Hummelstown, located between Harrisburg and Hershey, has a topranked school district, according to Miller. It also offers many local dining options and is known for its wings, pizza and famous subs, as well as historic taverns serving up cold beverages. Soon, Hummelstown will be on the map for breweries in Pennsylvania with its very own local brewery. Hummelstown’s shops offer a wide selection of specialty gifts and toys, chocolates, antiques and artwork by local Hummelstown artisans. For music lovers, there is a new guitar shop and live music at events like the Arts Festival, which attracts thousands of visitors a year. Plans are underway for the festival in 2021. While trick or treating will happen in the borough according to the discretion of each neighborhood and under CDC guidelines, the Hummelstown Halloween parade, which is a favorite among many children and adults in the area, will return in 2021.

First United Methodist Church (UMC), 64 W. Chocolate Ave., Hershey, invites community members to support their neighbors by donating items at its Pop-Up Community Drive. The drive will take place on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the First UMC porch, located next to the alley at the rear of the church. People can donate items to benefit three local organizations: Hershey Food Bank, Mission Central, and Family Promise. Hershey Food Bank is seeking donations of nonperishable food items for Thanksgiving, such as 15-ounce cans of pumpkin, turkey or chicken stovetop stuffing, cranberry sauce, packs or jars of turkey gravy, and cans of pineapple, as well as paper towels and pasta items. Mission Central offers Blessing Kits for individuals experiencing homelessness. The organization is seeking new men’s socks, reusable metal or plastic water bottles, travel-size shampoos and conditioners, small notebooks measuring about 4 by 5 inches with pens, and chapstick lip balm. Family Promise provides meals for homeless families and is collecting Giant gift cards.

The Facebook page features Small Business Spotlights on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as events happening locally. The borough’s new website at www.hummelstown.net offers information about public works, zoning, taxes, recreation and more.
