Quarryville will offer a chance to hang with your Peeps

Quarryville Borough will give people a chance to decipher the phrase that pays in Peeps.

Peeps in the Park will be held Saturday, April 12, from 9 a.m. to sunset in Huffnagle Park, 20 Oak Lane, Quarryville.

Twenty-three colorful wooden Peeps will be hidden in the park. Each Peep will have a letter on it. Participants will be tasked to find all the Peeps, keep track of the letters, and unscramble the letters to form a spring-themed phrase. Participants should email the phrase to assistant borough manager Michelle Evans at evansm@quarryvilleborough.com, and all correct answers will be entered into a drawing for a Peeps-themed prize pack.

"It's just a fun family thing to do in the spring weather," Evans said. "We're trying to promote community and do things to give back to our community."

An upcoming borough activity is for the dogs. The Quarryville Community Dog Park will hold its grand opening Saturday, May 3, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The dog park is adjacent to the SECA Pool in Memorial Park, Park Avenue, Quarryville.

There will be food trucks, vendors, and a dog walk around the park. "It's a place where people can gather with friends and let their dogs walk or run," said Evans.

The borough's second annual Spring Fling is back by popular demand. It will be held Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7.

The Community Yard Sale will run on that Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the following day from 8 a.m. to noon. "It was a huge success (last year)," Evans said. "There were a lot of yard sales and a lot of people in the borough."

Some local businesses will hold sidewalk sales, and there will be food trucks throughout the borough. Anyone interested in holding a yard sale or sidewalk sale should email Evans.

The Spring Fling will be capped off on Saturday by Cruise Night, sponsored by the Quarryville Lions Club and Quarryville Borough.

The car cruise will be held in Memorial Park from 4 to 8 p.m. The rain date is Sunday, June 8. Donations will be accepted for the admission fee. Pets and alcoholic beverages are not permitted.

Antique cars, hot rods, muscle cars, classic cars, and trucks from 1993 and older are welcome. There will be door prizes and food sold by the Wakefield Lions Club. DJ Ray will play '50s and '60s rock 'n' roll music.

Borough residents will be asked to paint the town red, white, and blue for the fifth annual Patriotic Porch Decorating Contest.

Preregistration is required by Friday, June 27, and can be accomplished by calling the borough office at 717-786-2404 or by emailing Evans.

Judging will take place on Tuesday, July 1, beginning at noon. Prizes will be awarded to the top five finishers.

Decorations must be suitable for public viewing by people of all ages. Graphic violence or gore, business advertising, and political messages, symbols, or words are not permitted.

Quarryville Borough will hold its first movie night on Friday, July 11, at 7:30 p.m. in Huffnagle Park. The movie that will be shown has not been determined. People should bring their own chairs.

Popcorn and snow cones will be provided at no charge. The movie night will be sponsored by Upright Garage Door Solutions.

The borough is planning a sidewalk chalk contest for kids in August, and the popular Christmas in Q'Ville event will return in December.

"We are trying to do things for the community and make a positive impact on the people who live in this area," Evans said. "These are good ways to get to know people in the borough, including members of the borough staff as well as members of the Quarryville Police Department. We have had nothing but positive feedback on all of our events. These are things we've always wanted to do, and we will continue to do them as long as people are interested."
