Two Festivals Will Mark National Recovery Month By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Community celebrations will be held in Lancaster to kick off and conclude National Recovery Month, which is observed in September. Both events will be held rain or shine at Buchanan Park, located at the corner of Buchanan and Race avenues, Lancaster. Recovery Rocks, a music festival celebrating recovery from addiction, will start things off on Saturday, Aug. 25, from 1 to 6 p.m. Live music will be performed by Rick’s One Man Band, Apes of the State, Bad Luck Charms, and Half Past Dead. Admission, along with games and activities for children, will be free of charge. Food trucks will be on-site selling refreshments. The festival was previously hosted at The 521 Club, which is a sober club located in Manheim Township, but the club opted to move the event to the
park so that more people can attend, said event committee member Matt Supplee. “We wanted it to be more visible and overall accessible to the community,” added committee member Shawn “Kate” McNichol. For more information about Recovery Rocks, readers may contact Supplee at 717-940-9993 or matt_supplee@yahoo.com or call James Severson at 717-250-8582. Event updates will also be posted on The 521 Club’s Facebook page. Recovery Day Lancaster 2018 will be held at the park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22. The event will feature the Walk for Recovery, in which participants will circumnavigate the approximately 1-mile perimeter of the Franklin & Marshall College campus at 11 a.m. A barbecue lunch will be served for a small fee from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. Three bands - Apes of the See Recovery Festivals pg 4

The Pequea Township Park and Recreation Board is trying a new strategy in its wildlife management efforts. In an attempt to control the size of the deer population that lives in Silver Mine Park, 200 Silver Mine Road, Conestoga, the board will host archery hunts during the first two weeks of October. “The deer herd has gotten rather large around here,” noted board secretary Cynthia Evans-Herr, who is also vice chair of the township’s board of supervisors.
