Hiking Classic: TRIPLE HIKE FUND-RAISER FOR CONSERVANCY
. Today we offer three hikes for the Lancaster County Conservancy Hiking Classic. Because the Conservancy publicizes this event, we may have many guests raising funds to buy land next to Money Rocks Park (see pages 7-8). Let’s get in the spirit & see how we can help! For fund raising information and forms go to www.lancasterconservancy.org/hikingclassic or phone 717-392-7891.
