Holiday Shopping Fair To Aid Animal Shelters By Dayna M. Reidenouer
More than 100 vendors will fill the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, on Saturday, Nov. 17, for the sixth annual Holiday Shopping Fair. The event will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and proceeds will benefit Furever Home Adoption Center and Pet Pantry of Lancaster County. “We have a really good mixture of crafters, vendors, and (brick-and-mortar) businesses,” said fundraising coordinator Tina Krueger. For the first time in the history of the event, printed and digital photographs with Santa Claus will be available. The shopping fair is pet-friendly, and the photos will be as well. For a small fee, pets and people may pose with Santa from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. “You can have (photo cards) ready
for Christmas,” suggested Pet Pantry executive director Melody Sanders. Another first for the event is the addition of a variety of hot and cold foods for people. The menu is being finalized, but it will represent Lancaster County, Krueger said. “Come hungry,” invited Furever Home executive director MJ Meinzer. The first 100 adult attendees will receive goodie bags. While admission to the shopping fair is free of charge, attendees are asked to bring items to donate to the two organizations. The wish list includes bleach, toilet paper, paper towels, liquid or powder kitten formula, canned kitten food, dry cat food, and dry dog food. “This is the first time we’re actually having a shortage of dog food,” Sanders remarked. The Pet Pantry routinely distributes pet food to more than 200 See Holiday Shopping Fair pg 7

By Dayna M. Reidenouer
“We are excited to welcome Alice Hoffman for this year’s Junior League of Lancaster author’s luncheon because she is a very well-known author whose books are familiar to a wide range of people,” said event chair Laura McGarry. “In addition, her newest novel, ‘The Rules of Magic,’ has received a lot of praise. It is exciting to welcome an author who has recently released such a great book, especially one that is tied to as familiar a story as ‘Practical Magic.’” Fans of Hoffman’s novels are invited to meet the author at the luncheon, which will be held on Friday, Nov. 30, at the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square, 25 S. Queen St., Lancaster. Doors will open at 11 a.m., and the program will begin at noon. Attendees may purchase See Author’s Luncheon pg 8
“We are celebrating our past and looking to the future,” said Aaron’s Acres executive director Risa Paskoff. “We are where we are because of the community and the support (it provides). It has been an amazing journey,
