DSAA To Host Sober Spooktacular A Maze Of Fun In The Fields Of Penryn Jerusalem Church Plans Oct. 13 Event

By Chelsea Peifer

As Donegal Substance Abuse Alliance (DSAA) chairman Stacy Emminger and assistant director Lexi Mercado brainstormed ideas and researched potential options for speakers at the organization’s upcoming fundraising dinner, they hoped to find someone from outside the local area whom people had not heard from before. When someone suggested Brandon Novak, a well-known skateboarder and MTV celebrity with a powerful testimony and commitment to the recovery community, Emminger immediately began pursuing the possibility and was thrilled when he agreed to travel to Mount Joy to share his story. Novak will speak at the DSAA Sober Spooktacular, which is set to take place from 4:30 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13, at The Gathering Place, 6 Pine St., Mount Joy. The public is invited to attend and enjoy an evening of spooky-themed

festivities. “Part of our goal is to raise awareness, and we also wanted to make it fun so that’s why we went with Halloween,” Emminger noted. Costumes are optional but certainly welcome. “We will be dressing up, so we hope everyone else will too,” said Emminger.

For the fifth consecutive year, a team of volunteers from Jerusalem Church, 1620 Newport Road, Manheim, has designed and created a corn maze. The community is invited to explore the corn maze at the church’s Disguise and Prize event on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 1 to 4 p.m. The free event is open to children and families. Disguise and Prize is a fall activity that allows children in costume to walk around to different decorated vehicles in the church parking lot to receive small prizes such as candy, stickers, and toys. Activity stations with various games and crafts will be set up in the parking lot. Free refreshments will also be available.
