igger and better. That’s how Millersville Borough’s third annual National Night Out is shaping up. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the municipal building, 100 Municipal Drive, and in the parking lot of the adjacent Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home. The rain date is Wednesday, Aug. 5. Some off-site parking will be available at the borough park or John Herr’s, and Snyder’s will use golf carts to transport people back and forth. “We’ve had great participation the past two years,” said Mary Lyons, a member of Millersville’s Civil Service Commission who helps organize National Night Out. “We’ve had about 400 attendees. I see that it’s going to continue to grow.” Everything will be free. John Herr’s Village Market is donating hot dogs, and Synder Funeral Home will provide water. Local emergency responders, Millersville VFW Post 7294, and Millersville University are just a few of the local organizations that will participate. Borough police chief Jeff Margevich noted that this year’s theme is Back to School Safety. “If you Google See Night Out pg 3

Passports Transport Holders Back in Time BY JEFF FALK

To truly discover Lancaster is to uncover its history. To truly discover who we are, we must understand our origins. A destination marketing organization, Discover Lancaster has come up with a unique way to explore a shared past and celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday. “We want to expand people’s horizons,” said Joel Cliff, who’s been Discover Lancaster’s director of communications for 18 years. “The passport helps to expand people’s horizons. We want people to realize there are a lot of different angles to our heritage. The passports have locations throughout the county. They might be places people may not have heard of or explored before.” This passport to which Cliff is referring isn’t used as identification for foreign travel. Instead, it is a passport to local Lancaster County history. Discover Lancaster’s passport is a free commemorative booklet that can be picked up at the organization’s headquarters at 501 Greenfield Road, Lancaster, or any of the 23 local historic sites that are part of the tour celebrating America 250. When passport holders visit the participating Lancaster County locations, they will receive a custom-made collectible stamp that can be pasted into their passport booklets. The free passports also feature deals and coupons that can be redeemed at the 23 historic locations and at other points of interest around Lancaster
