Cylo is a character, with character. “Cylo’s role as the mascot is to bring the energy to each game day and create excitement about our team in the community,” said Madeline Davis, who is the Lancaster Stormers’ community and fan engagement coordinator, as well as one of Cylo’s handlers. “Typically, professional sports teams do have a mascot. Cylo is a very important staple to our organization and is well recognized in the community.” Cylo is the official mascot of the Lancaster Stormers professional baseball club, which plays its home games at Penn Medicine Park, 650 N.

Members of the Lititz Art Association now have a space that they can call their own.
Art is creation, art is self-expression and art originates from the soul. Art is meant to be shared, displayed and absorbed. “Art means something different to ever yone,” said Barbara Daggett, promotions coordinator for the Lititz Art Association (LAA). “We’re talking about

Lititz Springs Pool is a great community resource. It gives pleasure and enjoyment to hundreds of community members throughout the summer. But at the end of the season, Lititz Springs Pool (LSP) really goes to the dogs. “I am honestly not sure why dogs love water so much,” said Mike Pesesky, who’s been the membership coordinator at the Lititz recCenter, which operates the pool, for four years. “I assume it is dependent on breed and how they’re raised. I would say most dogs that come to this event are inclined to love the water.” The Doggie Swim at Lititz Springs Pool is one of the community’s unique events. It combines the love of dogs, the love of water and the love of community, and it provides dogs with an opportunity to do one of the many things they love to do - swim. This year’s Doggie Swim will be held at Lititz Springs Pool, which is located at 201 Maple St., from 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 8. Everyone and their dogs are welcome. There is an entrance fee associated with the Doggie Swim, visitors are limited to two dogs per person and proof of up-to-date vaccinations are required. “The goal is to have a nice, lighthearted end-of-season event for members of the community and allow them to bring their pups and let them have a blast in the water,” said Pesesky. “In my experience, the vibe is relaxed and fun loving because who doesn’t love to watch dogs run around and have the times of their lives?
