LITITZ (Lancaster Co.) The Lititz Church of the Brethren will host the sixth annual Heifer Pro ject International “Living Gift Fair” Nov. 27 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sponsored by HPI and an ecu menical group of local volunteers, the fair enables people to deal with two problems at once holiday shopping and global hunger. "The unique thing about the Living Gift Fair,” said volunteer fair coordinator Dan Fitzkee of Manheim, “is that you can buy gifts for loved ones and help a needy family at the same time.” Shoppers purchase animals or shares of animals in the name of a friend. The friend receives an attractive HPI giftcard. A family in need receives the HPI animal that is purchased. Colorfully decorated tables provide informa tion about how the HPI animals benefit poor families in the US and around the world. Shoppers at the fair will be able to choose from a variety of HPI animals, ranging from the more traditional cows, goats, pigs, sheep, and rabbits to the more exotic yaks, water buffalo, and honeybees.
