This year’s Taste of Lititz will feature up to 30 restaurants, cafes, and other eateries from within the 17543 ZIP code offering samples of a variety of tasty fare for purchase on Friday, June 7, from 5 to 9 p.m. In addition, demonstrations by local artisans, live music, and a silent auction featuring original artwork will be part of the event, which will close Main Street from Broad Street to Water and Cedar streets.
Among the array of foods that will be available in sample-size portions will be kettle corn, tomato pie, poppers, tostados, crab pretzel sliders, pizza, and barbecue sandwiches.

Junior League Sponsors Aquaponics Project By Ann Mead Ash
According to Kate Lowry, a member of the Junior League of Lancaster, the organization has been looking for more ways to make a positive impact on the local community. “ We did a community impact assessment about five years ago,” explained Lowry. “We looked at challenges and issues, and we did an assessment of what the community needs and where the gaps are.” One result of that assessment is the Junior League of Lancaster’s Aquaponics Project.
