Among those will be Lancaster Farm Sanctuary; Music for Everyone, known for placing pianos throughout downtown Lancaster; Faith Friendship Ministries; and The Edible Classroom. This year’s fair, which will be held on Saturday, Dec. 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, will offer shoppers a variety of ways to purchase gifts that honor loved ones and help others.

Lancaster Farm Sanctuary, founded by Jonina Turzi and Sarah Salluzzo, is a nonprofit micro-sanctuary created to advocate for farm animals. “We have a few acres, and we have a few ambassadors for each species,” explained Turzi. “We rescue animals, and we hold public events where humans can interact with the animals and hear their stories.” Turzi noted that the animals at the farm were rescued from abusive or neglectful situations, but they are not available for adoption. She listed two types of chickens, sheep, dairy cows, pygmy goats, a turkey, and several ducks that now live permanently at the sanctuary. More information about the organization may be found at www.lancasterfarmsanctuary.org. See GTGH Fair pg 6

Wally Calderon, artistic director with Servant Stage Company, admits that there is an element of preconception in staging “Titanic,” the 1997 musical with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and a book by Peter Stone. “There is no surprise ending,” said Calderon of the musical that has been on his shortlist of shows for some time. Calderon loves the show because of its “character-driven depiction” of the historical events and the stories it tells that draw audience members into the story. “(Audience members grow) attached to the historical figures involved,” said Calderon. “That’s the See “Titanic” pg 7
Members of the cast of the Servant Stage production of “Titanic” include (from left) Rebekah Hill, Jessica Dey, Rob Bigley, Adler Roberts, Matthew Wilhelm, Donna Schilke, and Jon Rider. The show is being staged in partnership with Lancaster Bible College, and presentations will be held at the college’s Good Shepherd Chapel on several dates in September.
Annual Fellowship Day Planned By Ann Mead Ash
When Landis Homes resident Jacqueline Myers was a child, she lived with her parents in Belgium, where they ran a home for orphaned children. Following World War II, Myers recalled that many colorful quilts were donated to the orphanage by Mennonite organizations in the United States. When she immigrated, Myers aimed to learn quilting, and she eventually retired to Lancaster County, where she learned the art. Now, Myers is giving back by donating her Magic Tiles quilted piece to be auctioned at the Landis Homes Fellowship Day, which will be held at the community, See Fellowship Day pg 2
