And on October 12-14 It's time for Lancaster, again. 'Noah' is back! Enjoy a fabulous dinner and show at the Dutch Apple Dinner Theater.

JULY 26, 1945: The prisoner of war camp on Buffalo Street has been completed and equipped for occupancy and is now in charge of Camp Commander Lt. Senerchia and his staff. About 100 prisoners were brought to the camp on Monday, most of whom will be employed in agricultural work.

The American Legion Auxiliary Unit #1430 has a few busy bees. The ladies made 19 lap robes, 15 catheter bag covers, five coverlets for the Veterans' beds. These and many more things have been delivered to the VA Hospital in Canandaigua. These ladies donate their time, materials and lots of loving care for our deserving vets. Thanks, Nancy Nevelizer, Elma Walters and Cathy Fonte. Past President Donna Prentice says 'thanks.'
