The month of gratitude is here! Welcome to November from Lancaster, PA.

The month kicks off with an art show on First Friday called Harvesting Creativity at the mother ship, The Candy Factory (TCF). This show is curated by TCF artist in residence, Malia Burris, who fills us in on the details.

Katherine Horst, Horst Art Center and Makers, joins us for some suggested shows to check out around the county. During the first half of November, the Lancaster County Art Association in Strasburg celebrates 90 years with a show called the 90/90 Exhibit in their Steinmetz Gallery until November 12. Then later in the month, on Black Friday, Red Raven rolls out their Art4Everyone event, which includes timed entry to peruse hundreds of 4x4 pieces by local artists.

Ruby Mundok, Tourism Market Manager for Lancaster City breaks down the City’s holiday season events starting with the mayor’s Tree Lighting on Black Friday! There’s a whole host of city events planned through the end of the year.

In the month of gratitude, we’re thankful for each and every one of you for supporting So Good Lancaster.

Thanks for listening!

I had a blast chatting with Hilary Mace from Scartlet Runner and Ron Moore from the Why This Film? podcast about Food, Film, and some Fall Foliage as well! Hilary and I both recently checked out the new OddBird Neighborhood Cafe that opened recently in Akron, PA. It’s a delightful family owned cafe with a full breakfast and lunch menu, including the best burger that Hilary’s had in a long time! Hilary also shared about a new local initiative called America Revitalized that is hosting an event at West Art on October 26 with a full panel talking about all aspects of food and health from farm to fork.

Ron shared details about the upcoming Red Rose Film Festival hitting Lancaster theaters on November 12 to November 15. He also checked out the brand new Underground Film District, a monthly series showing at Penn Cinema featuring local films and opportunities to network with other filmmakers in Central PA. Finally, Ron mentioned that Penn Cinema will be showing Rocky for several nights in the theater to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this classic Philly film.

We closed the show with a peek at the brand new Pearl Cafe and Bakery, and discussed a couple other favorite local bakeries: Elsewhere and Front Porch. We’ll be keeping an eye on the Pearl Cafe and getting over there for some events soon!

Thanks for listening!

I'm back talking music with the prolific one, Sir Dominique Jordan, and our special guest Major Vibes, a Lancaster DJ who has been spinning beats for over 20 years. We dig into some exciting upcoming events Mr. Vibes is organizing, plus the history of his projects like the Friendsday DJ open mics at Tellus360 and his Tune Up Radio project.

Sir Dominique recaps the Wailers and Suge show at West Art along with his upcoming Sunday Cypher on Nov 8. We also took a look at the Wild Hymns album release show coming up at Zoetropolis on Oct 25.

Also, stay to the end to find out what local music Sir Dominique and I have been listening to.

Thanks for listening!
Jason
