Area Attractions!
 For many of us, Summer means baseball season! And one of the best ways to enjoy a professional baseball game is to visit a minor league ballpark... with its clean, wholesome, and family-friendly atmosphere, well-behaved smaller crowds, reasonable prices, and just plain fun. So while you're visiting Lancaster County, why not see a Lancaster Barnstormers game at Clipper Magazine Stadium!  You'll be amazed that ticket prices range from just $5 to $12, and stadium parking is free... try getting that at a big league ballpark! Food and drink concessions are excellent too, and there's also a great kids area for the little ones. So as the umpire says...
"PLAY BALL!"

Recipe Corner
June brings us to local strawberry season. Here is a recipe that is sure to please everyone!
Strawberry Scones
1 Cup Strawberries 2 Teaspoons baking powder
2 1/4 Cups all-purpose flour 1/4 Teaspoon salt
(unsifted) 6 Tablespoons butter or
3 Tablespoons sugar margarine
2/3 Cup milk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Hull strawberries, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (makes about 1 cup), set aside. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add butter. With a pastry blender or two knives used scissors-fashion, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in reserved strawberries, toss well to coat. Add milk all at once. With a fork, lightly toss together until mixture holds together. With floured hands, scoop approximately 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of mix and drop on a greased cookie sheet. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Serve warm with butter or cream cheese. Yield 1 dozen.
This wonderful recipe is courtesy of After Eight Bed and Breakfast located in Gordonville, PA, Innkeeper Robert Hall. |
