The Dillsburg Farmers Fair Association received a generous donation from a local business last month.
Frank Eichelberger, president and CEO of Lobar, Inc. presented a $15,000 check to Carl Shearer, president of the Farmers Fair Association on July 26.
In a letter to the fair association, the ownership of Lobar, Inc. said they are proud to announce their firm is celebrating its 50th year anniversary in 2017. To celebrate this milestone the company felt it was important to recognize the Dillsburg community for all of their support over the years. After discussing several ideas on what they could do for the neighborhood, they decided that supporting the Farmers Fair festivities would be the best way to thank the most people.

Four Dillsburg Girls Softball 13U players went to Beavercreek, Ohio on Friday and came home with a second place trophy from the United States Specialty Sports Association World Series East Tournament with their team, the Athletics. The team went 5-3 while outscoring their opponents 119-54. Their losses coming from Turn 2, a year-round tournament team from Kentucky. Starting with pre-tournament festivities at the Beavercreek Complex Friday night, there was a DJ, a home run and fastest base running contests, a dance-off to 70s music and pizza followed by a parade of teams across the fields, a “ducky dance” interlude, and the evening ended with the playing of the National Anthem.
