For many years, Cedar Grove Presbyterian Church, 4833 Division Highway, East Earl, has held a summer Peach Fest. In 2020 and 2021, the event was not held due to COVID-19 restrictions. Now, church members are planning to resurrect the day of activities. "We're back!" exclaimed pastor Krisana Poontajak.

The 2022 Peach Fest, which will be held on Saturday, Aug. 20, from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., will include a flea market, a book sale, a silent auction, and a bake sale.

The menu for the Peach Fest focuses on peaches, with peach-flavored items available for purchase throughout the event. Breakfast items will include pancakes with or without peach topping and whipped cream, along with doughnuts. Lunch will feature ham and cheese sandwiches and hot dogs with or without sauerkraut. Sliced peaches with or without ice cream or whipped cream will be on the dessert menu. Whoopie pies will also be sold. A baked goods table will feature homemade peach pies, as well as a variety of other baked treats.

Organizers of the event have been accepting book donations, and a number of children's books, novels, summer reading titles, and cookbooks will be offered for sale. In addition, the church has collected yard sale items that can be purchased by donation. A table will be designated for donated costume jewelry, and another table will feature craft items.

This year's silent auction display will include a number of theme baskets and gift certificates to local businesses. Past basket themes have included a Thai cuisine basket, a Pepperidge Farm basket, and a gourmet popcorn basket, among others. A floral door decoration will also be auctioned off.

Funds raised by the event will be used for the church's general fund. This year, 20% of the money raised will be donated to the church's Caring Fund.

The church is located at the intersection of Routes 322 and 897. Readers who would like more information about the event may visit http://www.cedargrovepresbyterianlanc.org or call 717-354-5573.
