KKK rally to be held in Lancaster County
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-time/KKK-rally-to-be-held-in-Lancaster-County.htmlA chapter of the Ku Klux Klan is planning to hold a rally in Lancaster County on Saturday.
The East Coast Knight of the True Invisible Empire, from Rising Sun, Md., posted the event on its website and on the forum Stormfront.
Calls to the "hotline" listed on the post were not immediately returned.
The event, to be held at an undisclosed location in Quarryville, was to include a cross lighting.
"This is gonna be one of the biggest cross lightings in a long time. ... This is a family-oriented event, so bring your families," an organizer wrote.
The Quarryville police department was made aware of the post several weeks ago, Chief Kenneth Work told LancasterOnline.
"At this point, we have no concrete information that any group is coming, certainly not to Quarryville Borough," he told the site on Monday.
A representative for the KKK group told LancasterOnline that between 100 and 200 people are expected to attend the invitation-only event. He declined to provide the location of the home.
A counter-rally is scheduled from 3 to 5 p.m. at the courthouse on King Street, according to a post by Rabbi Jack P. Paskoff on The Other Church Facebook page.
