Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Lititz Author

LANCASTER, Pa. - Nov. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Home of Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, the nation’s oldest pretzel bakery. Home of Linden Hall, the oldest girls’ boarding school in the United States. Home of the oldest continuous celebration of the Fourth of July.

All of this describes Lititz, a town of historical “firsts.”  In over 200 vintage photographs, local author Kathy Blankenbiller presents a rare insider’s view of the fascinating past of nostalgic Lititz.

Blankenbiller hopes the book will “influence the younger citizens to learn more about the wonderful people who made Lititz what it is today—the hometown everyone wishes was theirs!”

Highlights of Lititz:

·    Features rare, never before seen photographs from both public and private collections

·    Spotlights Christmas in Lititz, a timeless tradition that incorporates all town residents

·    Includes the breathtaking beauty of Lititz’s surrounding countryside

·    Captures the essence of the summer crafts show in Lititz Spring Park and the Lititz Chocolate Walk in October
