“They’re the most sought-after item at the Greek Bazaar (held in the fall),” said Gyrofest co-chair George Soukas. “They’re crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. We serve them the traditional way. They’ll be freshly fried and drizzled with spiced honey.” Loukoumades are double-leavened, with both baking powder and fresh yeast creating pockets of air within the dough structure. See Gyrofest pg 6

The Manor FFA chapter at Penn Manor High School will host its annual car show on Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Comet Field, Millersville Road, Lancaster. Registration will be open from 9 to 10:30 a.m., and prizes will be awarded at about 1:30 p.m. In the event of rain, the car show will be postponed until Saturday, May 18. Folks may check the Manor FFA Facebook page for updates. The car show has typically featured 10 categories of vehicles. This year, the event will welcome antique, classic, and current cars and trucks, as well as semitrucks and Jeeps. The car show committee members noted that the tractor category had only one entrant last year, so it was discontinued, and the off-road vehicle category was changed to
Jeep-only. A variety of prizes will be awarded, and the winners will be based on popular vote. There will also be opportunities to enter prize drawings. The committee members are still collecting items to be given away, but they noted that a luxury vehicle dealership has donated a tote bag filled with goodies and another donor has contributed a car care kit. There is a cost to enter a vehicle in the show, but exhibitors who bring nonperishable food items will receive a discount on the entrance fee. Both the money and the food will be donated to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. Spectators may attend free of charge. “We had more than 100 vehicles, and we raised almost $4,000 for the food bank last year,” reported committee chair Alyssa Chalfant. See Car Show pg 12
