Car Show To Benefit Santa’s Helpers BY DAYNA M. REIDENOUER
G
lenn Davis is adamant that the Santa’s Helpers car show set for Saturday, Oct. 17, take center stage over the organization’s presence in the Lampeter-Strasburg (L-S) School District. “We like to be under the radar,” Glenn said. “We just need the car show to do well so we can support the kids.” This is the group’s first car show, although Glenn has attended plenty. He bought a fully restored 1967 Camaro with modifications about 10 years ago. “It would’ve been a very good leading competitor on the drag strip back in its time,” Glenn remarked. “I’ve always been attracted to Camaros. It was my dream car in high school.” Glenn invites other owners of dream vehicles to bring their cars, trucks, and motorcycles to the Santa’s Helpers car show. Street rods, muscle cars, antiques, imports, and more will be welcome. Trophies will be awarded in eight categories.
“Everyone’s got a pride factor in their hobby or toy,” Glenn said. “That’s why we didn’t limit them.” The car show will be held at the Lampeter Fire Company grounds, 851 Village Road, Lancaster, from noon to 4 p.m. In the event of rain, the car show will take place on Sunday, Oct. 18, from noon to 4 p.m. Most of the area’s other car shows were canceled this year, so Glenn is anticipating a big crowd. “I’m hoping there are a lot of other car buffs like myself who are chomping at the bit to get out,” Glenn said. “I think it’s going to be a very fun event. I hope to see a lot of people out there.” A fee has been set to exhibit a vehicle. Spectators may attend free of charge. To supplement the eye candy, the event will include music; prize drawings for car cleaning kits, gift cards, cash, and more; photo opportunities with motorhead models by donation; and woodgrilled burgers and hot dogs, other food, and beverages for sale. There will also be a stand where
The Salvation Army Seeks Help To #RescueChristmas Christmas is coming, but like so much this year, it may look markedly different. Uncertainty surrounds one of the quintessential signs of the holiday - The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign. With store closings across the country, a decrease in in-person visits to retail locations, and individuals carrying less cash, the red kettles may be fewer in number and might collect a reduced amount compared with previous years. In hopes of offsetting the anticipated decrease and to keep up See #RescueChristmas pg 5

CROP Walk To Mark 40th Anniversary BY DAYNA M. REIDENOUER
INSIDE THIS ISSUE
When the 2020 Solanco CROP Hunger Walk takes place on Saturday, Oct. 17, participants may help to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first walk, which was held in 1980. There will be several photo opportunities, said planning committee member Mary Etta Reinhart. “We’re trying to make it a fun event but a socially distanced event,” she noted. Reinhart shared that the planning committee discussed the walk in light of coronavirus mitigation guidelines and decided to go ahead with holding the event because it takes place entirely outdoors. Some of the procedures have been modified for safety. Registration will open at 8:30 a.m. at Muddy Run Park,
