Long’s Park Art Festival Honored With Award By Ann Mead Ash
When Rachael Lantz, marketing manager for the Long’s Park Amphitheater Foundation, and Rick Faulkner, artistic director for the Long’s Park Art Festival, consider the awards the yearly festival has received from ArtFairCalendar.com, they are astonished at how well the show has fared against the competition. “What is exciting is seeing our show up against shows from D.C. and Chicago, because we are (in a) much smaller area in comparison,� said Lantz. “It’s pretty amazing.� “We are up against some long-established (festivals) in metropolitan areas,� agreed Rick. The festival raises funds for the Long’s Park Amphitheater Foundation. The event was held for the 41st time
over Labor Day weekend 2019 at Long’s Park, located off Route 30 and Harrisburg Pike in Lancaster. In 2018, the show was named Best East Coast Art Fair. In 2019, the show received the award for the second time and in addition was No. 4 in a ranking of Best Art Fairs in America. ArtFairCalendar.com promotes the work of artists who earn their livelihood as exhibitors at shows throughout the country. According to Rick, art festivals receive votes in the competition from exhibitors and art festival enthusiasts. The roots of the Long’s Park fair begin with Rick’s father, Richard Falkner Sr. “(My father) was on the countywide bicentennial committee in 1976,� recalled Rick, who mentioned that a July Fourth festival in Long’s Park during the U.S. bicentennial year attracted both local and national attention.

Palmquist worked as an instructional support teacher in the Hempfield School District for 26 years and spent many summers serving as a camp nurse at Aaron’s Acres, which offers summer camps for children and young adults with special needs.

column. Chiari is associated with a variety of other physical problems including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), an inheritable connective tissue disorder, and syringomyelia, which occurs when a syrinx, a cyst caused by a buildup of fluid, forms in the spinal cord. Amber has been dealing with the issues related to Chiari since the birth of her daughter in July 2013. In the time since, she has been undergoing both physical and occupational therapy, but her health issues have made it difficult for her to make progress in either area.
