York City announces teen gaming, housing outreach, music nights and 5-mile run
Summary
A York City staff member outlined community events this week, including teen video-game sessions at Martin Library, Housing Advocates outreach, multiple open-mic nights, a walking tour and a new-route preview run meeting at Lafayette Plaza.
A York City staff member in a brief recorded message outlined community events happening around the city this week, including video-game sessions for teens at Martin Library, housing outreach by Affordable Housing Advocates, several live-music and open-mic nights, a Revolutionary War walking tour and the York Whiterose 5-mile run preview.
The announcement said the Martin Library at 159 East Market Street will host video-game programming for teens “throughout the week,” and urged parents and teens to check the York Library’s event links for specific days and times. The staff member said the city’s recreation specialist, Lequin, is coordinating the library gaming sessions and described video-game skills as relevant to some professions.
Affordable Housing Advocates will be at the Martin Library with its “Here For You” weekly events for residents seeking housing assistance, the message said. No further details about the schedule or whether appointments are required were provided.
Live-music events listed include a box-lunch review series continuing in Cherry Lane; performer Parker scheduled for Tuesday; and DJ Sea Smoke on Thursday. The announcement also named multiple open-mic nights for performers and poets: Fig and Barrel on Tuesdays, First Cap on Wednesday nights, and the Appel Center’s music and poetry open mic on Thursday. The message specified the Appel Center open mic as occurring at 06:45 (as stated in the recording) but did not clarify a.m. or p.m.
The York History Center will present a guided walking tour about York’s Revolutionary War history on Friday, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.; the message said organizers requested a $10 donation. A World War II briefing is scheduled Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the History Museum with a requested donation of $10 to $15.
Information on the York Whiterose 5-mile run said the course will use a new route and that roads are expected to remain open; the announcement suggested the route likely uses the rail trail but provided no map. The run’s start time is 7:30 a.m., with participants meeting at Lafayette Plaza at Pershing Avenue and Philadelphia Street, behind the Colonial Courthouse.
The staff member also said outreach for YorkFest is continuing and invited artists, craftmakers and vendors to sign up via the event link; no vendor fee, application deadline or booth details were specified in the message.
The announcement directed listeners to the York Library’s event links and the city’s event pages for more information and sign-ups. "So that was very quick. Hope you have a wonderful week in the city," the staff member concluded.
