Solid Rock Celebrates 25 Years BY COURTNEY MENGEL

Solid Rock Youth Ministries strives to earn trust through authentic mentoring relationships with kids in kindergarten through 12th grade so lives can be changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In 2021, the Quarryville Borough hosted a variety of contests for Quarryville residents. “We decided to plan these events to boost morale and get the community to come together in spite of what’s going on,” explained Michelle Evans, administrative assistant for the Quarryville Borough. There have been three contests so far, which asked participants to create art from sidewalk chalk, write a “What Are You Thankful For?” essay, and display their Christmas lights. The Quarryville Borough decided to continue this initiative and has
announced its next themed contest to bring people some luck in time for St. Patrick’s Day. From Saturday, March 12, to Thursday, March 17, Quarryville residents can participate in a scavenger hunt for 12 four-leaf clovers, which will be placed outside and within the borough’s limits. No clovers will be hidden on residents’ private properties. Participants can either visit the borough’s municipal building, 300 St. Catherine St., Quarryville, or email Evans at evansm@ quarryvilleborough.com for a list of clues. Answers are due by 3:30 p.m. on March 17. Participants must write their answers on the list of See Scavenger Hunt pg 3
