Stuff To Do Fair 2026 Part I

I walked into the gymnasium at Washington Elementary school in Lancaster, PA around 9:30 am on a bitter cold Saturday, January 31, 2026. The gym was buzzing with activity filled with people representing organizations, clubs, and businesses who provide entertainment, hobbies, activities, lessons, and a ton of other “stuff to do” here in Lancaster County. These folks were bustling around, setting up rows of tables scattered around the gym floor. By ten o’clock the doors were open, and the general public was welcomed by organizers Sav Thorpe Capizzi and state representative Izzy Smith Wade-El to the 2nd (annual) Stuff To Do Fair.Over 50 vendors and over 500 residents braved the cold to attend what might look like a job fair, but was actually just a place for the community to come together, to chat, to make new friends, and to learn about stuff they can do to get out of the house and be with others. The Stuff To Do Fair is 100% free, for both the vendors and the participants.We were there representing The Candy Factory coworking + social club and So Good Lancaster with mic in hand, interviewing just a fraction of the vendors who were representing. This is the first in a two-episode series covering the Stuff To Do Fair 2026. Stay tuned for part two in the next episode of the podcast.On this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with:Sav Thorpe Capizzi, organizer of Stuff To Do FairOlivia Polaski from Lancaster Bird ClubCorey Paternoster from The UpsideMayor Jaime Arroyo from the City of LancasterLaura Pauls-Thomas from Ride Roll and StrollHeather Davis from Write NowAngie Springer from Lancaster Improv PlayersWe want to hear from YOU!
