Come To A German Holiday Market

Santa will visit children at the Christkindlmarkt at Lancaster Liederkranz.

“We want to offer opportunities to share our cultural heritage with the community,” said Elise Bullington, event chairperson for Lancaster Liederkranz’s Christkindlmarkt. “We do that through our fests. A big thing in Germany are these Christmas markets. They are an opportunity to bring people together, for local artisans to showcase their talents and for wonderful family fun.”

Christkindlmarkt will be held on the Liederkranz grounds, 722 S. Chiques Road, Manheim, on Sunday, Dec. 12, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“We will have more than 30 different vendors selling anything from candies to traditional German nutcrackers, ornaments, Moravian stars,” Bullington stated. “We’ll have performances by our singing groups, including the mixed chorus (and) the Hobby Chor, which is our men’s singing group, plus caroling, and we have a gentleman who plays the accordion and he roams around playing Christmas music.”

Food is a highlight of the festival, with options offered both outside and indoors. “Inside, we’ll have sit-down dining,” Bullington explained. “It’s more formal and will feature our German platters.” Inside dining choices include a half-chicken, pork schnitzel, Schweinshaxe (German pork knuckle), and goulasch. All are served over spaetzle and include a choice of red cabbage or Gurkensalat (cucumber salad) plus apple strudel.

“Outside, we’ll have three kinds of soup - ham and bean, potato, and kielbasa and sauerkraut - as well as jumbo hot dogs, kielbasa, bratwurst sandwiches, and currywurst boats,” she said.

Homemade pierogies are a popular food choice, she noted, adding that flavors vary each year, but will include potato and cheese, potato and bratwurst, potato and roast garlic, pork and sauerkraut, and apple cinnamon. New flavors this year will be pumpkin pie and Hungarian hot wax, a type of hot pepper. “All the pierogies are made in-house with love by our ‘pierogie posse,’” Bullington explained, noting that members meet weekly for several weeks leading up to the event to prepare the pierogies. “And of course, we’ll have beer and glühwein, which is a German spiced mulled wine, along with hot chocolate for the kids.”

LET’S GET SOCIAL

The Keystone Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) recognized local member contractor firms at the 32nd annual ABC Excellence in Construction (EIC) Awards Gala held Nov. 3 at Spooky Nook Sports, Manheim. This event highlights the top regional projects built by ABC Keystone contractor members throughout the past year.

The highest award of the evening went to the Project of the Year (POY) recipient. The criteria to receive the POY Eagle award were its subjective wow factor in the following areas: community impact, client satisfaction, design features and positive notoriety or high-profile of the project.

The 2021 POY was awarded to Poole Anderson Construction LLC for its nearly 33,000-square-foot Franklin & Marshall Winter Visual Arts Center project in Lancaster, submitted in the Institutional $10 to $25 Million category. Poole Anderson Construction was the construction manager for the project. The unique design included a suspended structure with cantilevered trusses, channel and structural glass systems and a recycled glass aggregate envelope.

This year, the Project of the Year Award finalists included the following: Benchmark Construction Co. Inc., Brownstown, for the Upper Moreland Community Center Renovation in Hatboro, Category - Commercial $2 - $10 Million; Keystruct Construction, A Viocity Company, for the Veterans Affairs York Clinic Renovations in York, Category - Medical Renovation $1 $5 Million; Paramount Contracting Inc., 101 North Queen Condos in Lancaster, Category - Interior Finishes Under $150,000; Poole Anderson Construction Winter Visual Arts Center, Lancaster, Category - Institutional $10 - $25 Million; and Wohlsen Construction Company, Long Crest, Lancaster, Category - Miscellaneous/Special Projects.

The EIC Safety Awards Competition is open exclusively to Safety Management Process (STEP) participants who have achieved Gold level or higher. ABC’s STEP program is a safety benchmarking and improvement tool that improves safety performance among construction industry participants regardless of company size or type of work. STEP membership is also a scoring factor for Chapter and National EIC awards. Visit www.abc.org/STEP to learn more.

The Excellence in Construction Safety Awards recognize companies that exhibit a continued commitment to jobsite safety and whose safety performance and programs are judged to be exemplary.

This year’s Overall Safety Awards and recipients include the following: 2021 Excellence in Construction Safety Award - General Contractor, Benchmark Construction Co. Inc., Brownstown, and 2021 Excellence in Construction Safety Award - Specialty Contractor, H.L. Wiker Inc., Lancaster.
