“It’s a dog festival, (but) humans are (allowed) to attend,” said Joanne Pursel, who chairs Paws in the Park along with Sandy Jones. “It’s a fun time for everybody.” Paws in the Park, which raises funds for Leo’s Helping Paws, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28, at Lititz Springs Park, 24 N. Broad St., Lititz, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Registered dogs of all breeds and sizes will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of contests. Organizers hope to hold the popular canine costume contest, which has brought dogs to the event in costumes both homemade and storebought. Other games and contests organizers hope to hold will include musical hoops, a dog treat relay, a shell game, a tennis ball retrieval competition,
and dog limbo. Paw painting will be available for an additional fee. The Lancaster City Police K-9 Unit is expected to return for a demonstration during the event, and at least 12 rescue groups will be in attendance with dogs for people to meet and consider for adoption at a later time. In addition, a vendor fair will be held. The vendor fair will feature a pet photographer, several vet offices, dog day care and boarding facilities, and on-site nail trims for a cost. One vendor will sell clothing for dogs, and another will sell dog treats. A silent auction will feature up to 25 items, including gift cards and gift baskets. Food trucks that will be on-site at the park will offer hamburgers, chicken fingers, hot dogs, and beef jerky for purchase. A cupcake truck will be on-site as well. See Paws In The Park pg 2

Dog-Oriented Festival To Raise Funds For Leo’s Helping Paws
Organizers of the annual Woodcrest 3-D Archery Shoot display some of the targets that will be used when the event is held at Woodcrest Retreat in Ephrata on Aug. 24. By Ann Mead Ash
Ten years ago, the first Woodcrest 3-D Archery Shoot was held. Last year’s
competition attracted 180 shooters overall. More than 150 people attended the hot brunch that was served at the shoot. See Archery Shoot pg 4
As Hospice & Community Care (HCC) donor relations manager Coco Minardi reviewed the items pulled for a photo to advertise the 35th annual Labor Day Auction set for Saturday, Aug. 31, and Monday, Sept. 2, she laughed. “An autographed football, a life-size NASCAR poster, a quilt, and a mailbox: That’s the randomness of the auction right there.” Indeed, at first glance it might seem like the epic two-day sale is full of a jumble of items every year, but it is all very deliberate.
