Sad news today, folks, in the world of local and food-related items. (Mark, I know you'll especially not like this one.)
The York Peppermint Pattie, which used to be made in York but was most recently made in Reading at a Hershey plant, will soon be made in Mexico.
I'm definitely disappointed. I am not someone who is categorically against production moves if they keep a company afloat economically, but this one hits pretty close to home.
It's the fifth annual meat bingo, co-sponsored by Eureka Fire and Ambulance Company and Stewartstown Lions Club.
The event will take place Thursday, Feb. 5, at the fire hall on North Main Street in Stewartstown, and features more than $1,800 in meat prizes, including one special-game seafood bonanza. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and games begin at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $12 and are available at L&L Citgo, from any Lions Club member or by calling 993-5553.
The economy's not so great. For $12, maybe it isn't a bad idea to take your chances and try to stock up your freezer!
