Something else to check out, if you're not interested in events in the Hanover or Springettsbury areas, is the New Freedom Lions Club Carnival!
Heard about this from one of our freelance writers, Lori Badders. She reports the carnival starts Monday and runs through next Saturday (July 4!) at the New Freedom Playground. (Detailed entertainment schedule here.)
There's live music, rides, midway attractions, games and more in the evenings.
Lori reminds everyone to check out the New Freedom Lioness Club's popular apple dumplings. "Get one with a scoop of ice cream while you listen to the music," she suggests. I second that - they're always a sell-out. Lioness Betty Neary, the club's secretary, always keeps us posted on these events and she just raves about how great the dumpling fundraiser is for the club.
Here are some of the Lionesses hard at work making the dumplings for the '06 fundraiser:
And here's a great shot by photographer Bil Bowden of Brianna Irons, then 7, of Farmington Hills, Mich., on the merry-go-round at the Lions' carnival in 2005:
You'll have to let me know how it is if you go. I would love to get down, but it's not likely given the work week!
