New Signs Will Welcome Everyone To Quarryville eople driving into Quarryville will soon see a new look, as two “Welcome to Quarryville” signs are planned for the near future. The new signs, made of a composite material, will measure 4 by 6 feet and will feature gold lettering on a deep blue background. There will be two signs, one on Route 222 southbound entering the borough and the other on westbound Route 372 entering the borough. The signs will replace existing signs that were put in place a number of years ago by the Southern Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce. Unlike the present signs, the new ones will not list any local businesses. The signs will read, “Welcome to Quarryville. ‘The Heart of Southern Lancaster County.’ Founded in 1791.” “This is a whole different approach,” Quarryville borough manager Scott Peiffer said.

Preliminary versions of the signs were presented at the May meeting of Quarryville Borough Council, where four different color combinations were showcased. “The renditions have been really impressive. I just think it will be a whole different take on it,” Peiffer said. “I like them a lot.” The originator of the project is Shawn Reimold. As a store manager at Martin Appliance, Martin Water and Martin Furniture & Mattress, located just outside the borough, Reimold is familiar with the community and is proud of Quarryville. “Quarryville has a great personality; the whole Southern End does. It’s about welcoming people and helping each other as neighbors,” Reimold said. Reimold has seen similar signs in other towns and presented the idea to Peiffer and Quarryville Mayor Anthony Cavallaro. “They both liked the idea of it and borough council was all for it,” he said. “I’m just trying to spearhead it and pull everything together.” See New Signs pg 2

In 2020, the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Lancaster Relay For Life event was canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions. Last year, Relay For Life of Lancaster County held an abbreviated event. “Everyone was so excited to be in each other’s presence and to be able to be on the track,” recalled Stephanie Delp, ACS senior development manager. “That momentum has carried us forward.” See Relay For Life pg 7
INSIDE THIS ISSUE
Disc Golf Club Plans Tournament
Wesley Moyer stands at one of the 27 holes at the Akron disc golf course.
When Wesley Moyer moved to Lancaster County several years ago, he had a special reason to look for a place to live in Akron. Moyer specifically chose the borough because he likes Lloyd H. Roland Memorial Park, 221 N. 11th St., Akron. Moyer’s connection to the park is not simply due to an affinity for the outdoors, but rather is tied to his interest in disc golf, a sport he first discovered at summer camp in Pottstown as a teenager.
“I got more serious (about disc golf) when I came here,” said Moyer, who is now the secretary of the 75-member Lancaster County Disc Golf Club (LCDGC). He also volunteers to help maintain the disc golf course at Akron - a 27-basket course with holes in the open, in the pine forest, and mixed between fairways and woods. Maintenance ranges from working to replace wornout rubber and concrete tee pads at a cost of up to $20,000 to wading waist-deep into the murky pond once a year in search of lost discs.
