Strawberry Sundae Fundraiser at Hollabaugh Bros. Benefits Local Family. Sundaes make a difference every day of the year for Biesecker twins, Blake and Dylan.
What’s better than a freshly made strawberry sundae? The answer to that question is one that benefits a very good cause. Over a year ago, Tom and Nicki Biesecker’s twin sons, Blake and Dayton, were diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. Despite the challenges and prognosis associated with the disease, this Biglerville family remains hopeful, enjoying each precious day of the
twins’ childhood.
This is the second year that Hollabaugh Bros. Fruit Farm & Market has partnered with Thrivent Financial, Inc. to host this fundraiser for the twins. In addition to delicious sundaes, children can participate in a strawberry-themed reading activity or enjoy the many family-friendly activities at the farm market.
"We are delighted to partner with Thrivent Financial and the community to support the Biesecker family," said Kay Hollabaugh. "This event not only raises funds for a very good cause, it also reminds us of the amazing power of and strong connection found in community. Knowing that the wider community cares can make a real difference in the lives of families like the
Bieseckers who face daunting challenges that a diagnosis of muscular dystrophy inevitably brings."
Come over to Hollabaugh Bros. Farm Market this Saturday (5/25) from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. and enjoy a delicious, freshly made strawberry sundae for a great cause! All proceeds from this event go to benefit the Biesecker twins and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Supplemental funding is provided by Thrivent, Inc. |

“Encounter Mount Misery – The Battle of Monterey Pass”. The afternoon’s activities include three 2 hour narrated tours on an air conditioned trolley, which this year will take the path of the Union forces under
General Judson Kilpatrick, including Gen. George Armstrong Custer, as they fought their way up the side of the mountain to intercept the retreating Confederate wagon train at Monterey Pass. Some easy walking is required on the tour.
The retreating soldiers nicknamed the mountain pass “Mount Misery” due to the horrific conditions they were subjected to. The battle was fought in the middle of the night in a terrible thunderstorm, and the roads
were nothing more than wagon ruts etched deeply into the mud. Tickets for the tour are $30 and include a picnic style meal.
The tour includes points of local history as well as the battle. Additional activities, which are FREE, include living histories, exhibits, book signings by several authors of Civil War literature, wine tasting,
numerous local historians speaking on various Civil War topics, great food and desserts. . Purchase of tour tickets in advance is highly recommended – these tours sell out quickly. All ticket holders will have a seat on the trolley – no one will be
standing. Additional information is available at www.martinhousebandb.com or www.montereypassbattlefield.org, or call (717) 642-5645. |

We will be accepting 4 person teams or individuals. The tournament begins at 8:30 am and will be followed by a dinner and awards ceremony.
We welcome all golf skill levels. The tournament will be played as a Best Ball competition also known as Scramble. Each player of the four-person team hits from the tee. The team makes their next set of shots from the spot where the best ball landed. This process continues until the ball is in the hole.
The Catoctine-Ettes, Inc. is a recongnized non-profit 501(c)(3) competitive baton twirling, color guard, and pom pom organization from Emmitsburg, Md.
Our goal is to provide the youth of our area with an affordable activity that instills qualities such as teamwork, dependability, and sportsmanship in a program that builds self-esteem and pride in one's achievements. Our family oriented program incorporates baton twirling, juggling, dance and gymnastic moves, as well as competitive pom pom, and color guard arts. Classes are open to anyone ages 5
or older.
As an established youth group since 1972, we have performed in local parades and at charitable events and have earned prestigious titles in State, Regional, and National championships. In addition, we have been honored to perform half-time shows for basketball games for Mt. St. Mary's University as well as the Washington Wizards.
