The AMBUCS' annual Crafts in the Park fundraiser will be held for the 29th time this summer. "At one time, we had more than 100 vendors (taking part)," said AMBUCS member Frank Kenavan of past shows. The show was not held in 2020. In 2021, about 20 vendors participated.

When the craft show is held in Lititz Springs Park, 18 N. Broad St., Lititz, on Saturday, June 11, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Kenavan, who is overseeing the 2022 event, plans to have a total of about 40 vendors, mostly lined up between the fountain and the parking lot, but with some around the pond and along Broad Street. The show will be held rain or shine.

Crafters who take part in the juried event will include makers of jewelry, photographers, and woodturners. "We'll have some glasswork and metal art, which is always popular," said Kenavan. "We have high-end items," he added, noting that participating vendors must interact with what they are selling by making their own adjustments to the piece.

The Lititz Springs Park snack bar will be open, and Kenavan encouraged visitors to enjoy all the town has to offer in the category of eateries.

The AMBUCs, which also holds an annual craft beer fest fundraiser, is known for providing AmTrykes to children and adults to enhance mobility. "The AmTryke is a (mobility) tool," said Kenavan. "We give them away (to those in need)," he said, adding that the cost of a Tryke can run as high as $1,500. "We say (to parents), 'Bring it back when (the child) outgrows it, and we will give you another one.' It's all about inspiring mobility and independence."

Kenavan noted that the group has added several members in the past month, but welcomes more. Readers who would like more information about the club may visit http://www.lititzambucs.com. Individuals who have questions may email info@lititzambucs.com.
