  • ROYER’S NAME-THE-ARRANGEMENT CONTEST LANDS WITH A ‘CITRUS SPLASH’

    You might call Karen Nowak a late bloomer when it comes to contests. Nowak, a retired teacher from Leola, Lancaster County, said she never wins anything.

    Jamie Butts of Lebanon said her daughter, Camryn, plays soccer, basketball and swims.
