The 70th annual WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital Auxiliary Street Fair will be held in June in Lebanon.The fair will be held from 4 to 9 p.m. Friday, June 1, and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 2, on South Eighth Street, between Oak and Orange streets. It raises money to benefit WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital and its programs.
This year’s goal is to raise $40,000 to complete the auxiliary’s $150,000 pledge to support the WellSpan Sechler Family Cancer Center. The center offers treatments including chemotherapy, infusion therapy and radiation as well as many support services to area residents. Since its first fair in 1949, the auxiliary has contributed more than $2.7 million to the hospital for equipment and special projects to enhance the care and comfort of local patients and their families.
The 70th annual celebration will kick off Friday with a Fish Fry and Pasta Dinner. The Elvis Tribute Band will perform at the bandstand from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event will feature booths including those featuring theme gift baskets, books, flowers/plants and crafts.
The gift baskets, which are raffled off, will be on display from May 26 to 31 in the main lobby of the hospital, at Fourth and Walnut streets. They also will be on display at the fair Friday afternoon, June 1.
