Appleseed fest to mark 40 yearsCannons will thunder

along the Saint Joseph River and 19th-century infantry re-enactors will fire a volley of muskets from a grave site atop the hill. And the 40th Johnny Appleseed Festival will be under way.

The infantry will hoist and salute the flag above the grave bearing the name of John Chapman, the roving nurseryman who is believed to have died in Fort Wayne in 1845.

Crowds will enjoy authentic 19th-century food, music and crafts from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, and again from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21. Admis-sion is free.

Activities will fill Archer Park and the prop-erty commonly known as Johnny Appleseed Park, tucked between the river and the acres of parking at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.

If activities seem familiar, it’s because the festival remains true to the era that it celebrates.

“We don’t change history,” said Bruce Hayes, the oversight committee’s director of administration.

But, he said, the festival

will celebrate one more nugget of history this year — panning for gold. The IPFW GeoSciences Club will add to the educational benefits of the festival. “They’re going to do a fossil find, and a panning for golf, and have fossils for sale,” Hayes

said. “We had to do a little bit of debate about that, but it turns out there really was panning for gold here in Indiana. Not quite as much as there was out in California, but there was gold found in

Salomon Harvest Festivalrelives bygone farm era

Eight decades will vanish for two days, when Salomon Farm Park pres-ents Fall Harvest Festival.

The 170-acre Fort Wayne Parks & Recre-ation property at 817 W. Dupont Road will host

the festival from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 3 and 4. Admission to the past is free.

The festival is in part a tribute to the Salomon family that lived in the farmhouse and worked the farm before donating it for the enjoyment of future generations. “When

the Salomons donated the property, they wanted it to stay a working farm,” said parks employee Karla Yauchler. “They were really specific that they wanted it to remain a working, living-history farm, and the time period


Children’s activities will circle the historic homestead during Fall Harvest Festival at Salomon Farm Park.

‘Entrepreneur bug’leads to coffee shopin busy Georgetown

Craig “Yul” Martin would relax with his favorite “creme brulee with a little bit of mocha” during his off-peak hours, if only he had any off-peak hours.

“It’s always steady. We’re always doing something,” he said three months after opening Biggby Coffee in George-town Square, 6566 E. State Blvd. Hours are 6 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 7 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday.

“Our opening was a rousing success,” Martin said. “The summer concert series was awesome, a great success with very good turnouts. Since it was right outside my window, it was good for us.”

Martin retired from the Fort Wayne Community Schools after 25 years as a teacher, assistant prin-cipal, principal and finally

director of student services. He was ready for another career. “I always had the entrepreneur bug,” he said.

Martin and his wife had a chance meeting with a customer at a car dealer-ship. He recalls that that customer told him, “You should put in a Biggby Coffee over on Maysville Road. That way when I come in to work I can stop and get my tea.”

“That totally changed my life,” he said. “I just hadn’t heard of Biggby Coffee, and I really had not thought about it. I probably owe her a free coffee or something.”

“The thing that separates us is we’re the coffee shop for everybody. When you come in you see the bright colors and the relaxed atmosphere,” he said. “We have a high quality, coffee bean product. It’s slow roasted and has a smoother taste.”

Rustic Hutch closing after 40 yearsThe owners of Rustic Hutch are calling it a day and

closing the popular Fort Wayne home decor, gifts and acces-sories retailer after 40 years.

The decision was more than a year and half in the making, said co-owner Bill Bodecker, who will be 66 years old this month.

“Every type of business changes…and if I were 35 years old, it would be different,” he said. “I just don’t have the passion for it that I used to.”

Rustic Hutch employs about 40 people at its two stores, in the Jefferson Pointe and Pine Valley shopping centers.

The stores shut down temporarily Aug. 6 so additional inventory could be brought in. The going-out-of-business

sale began Aug. 15.Bill and his wife, Diane, bought the business about a

year after it opened in 1974. The first store was located in Georgetown Square, and the Bodeckers later expanded to locations on Dupont Road and in Jefferson Pointe.

About six years ago, they decided to consolidate the Georgetown and Dupont locations into a single, larger store at Pine Valley.

The Bodeckers considered various other options — handing it over to their son, Scott; selling it outright; or taking the “rustic” out of the name and transforming it into a more modern home decor specialty store.

But Scott is already busy with the Pandora jewelry stores he operates, and no outside buyer emerged. The Bodeckers took a serious look at the third option, but home decorating

is not his specialty, Bill acknowledged.“Really, the hard part was making the decision,” he

said. “We have employees who have been with us forever. Telling them Sunday what we had decided was hard.”

Bodecker hasn’t decided yet what he will do when he retires, although he said it will be something people-ori-ented. In the meantime, he’s looking forward to doing things his demanding retail operation haven’t allowed.

Bodecker estimated the store closing sale would last about four or five weeks.

City sets leaf pickup planThe City of Fort Wayne

has released the schedule for residential leaf collec-tion: North zone, Oct. 20-24 and Nov. 10-14; Central zone, Oct. 27-31 and Nov. 17-21; South zone, Nov. 3-7 and Dec. 1-5. For a map of zone boundaries, visit cityoffort-wayne.org/leaves. Rake leaves to the park strip area, not into the street, or put them in biodegradable yard waste bags and place them at the curb for collection by 7 a.m. on the Monday for your section of town.

The schedule may change due to inclement weather or unusual volume of leaves. The shortened week of Thanksgiving will be a catch-up week.

Also, residents may schedule pickups by placing leaves in biode-gradable yard waste bags and placing them at curb-side. Call 311, or 427-8311. Leaves will be collected within two business days.

Burning leaves within the city limits is a violation of city code, and carries a fine of $50.

Huntertown Heritage Days concludes Saturday, Sept. 13.

The festival was moved from August to September in hopes of finding better weather and facing less competition. The fest opened Friday with the traditional Lions Club fish fry.

Saturday activities begin with Sweet Aviation’s flyover above Old Lima Road at 11 a.m., to be followed by the playing of the national anthem at 11:02 a.m. and the parade at 11:05 a.m. The American Legion Riders will lead the parade. The Carroll High School marching band will be among the early units, then return to the school for a full day of rehearsal.

8 p.m.-midnight — The

band Reckon plays at the beer tent“Everybody’s used to

that first week of August, but we moved it back just because of heat and lack of audience,” said Kregg Snyder, this year’s festival chairman.

The public reaction has been mixed, Snyder said at a festival committee meeting at Town Hall.

Snyder admitted to having concerns early in

the planning stages. “I didn’t think we were going to have anything big,” he said. “But it’s actually coming together. I’m feeling a lot more confident right now. A lot of people came forward.

Snyder said the festival is important because of what it represents.

“For me, it’s one word. It’s community,” he said. “It’s what brings us together.”

Maker Faire to spotlightdo-it-yourself creativityArtists, scientists, inven-

tors, crafters, tinkerers and techies will showcase their creativity at the Fort Wayne Regional Maker Faire — Powered by TekVenture.

The family-friendly event featuring the work of do-it-yourselfers has been

scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 13 and 14, under the Lincoln Pavilion at Headwaters Park East in Fort Wayne. Hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. each day. Food will be available for purchase.

Visit makerfairefort-wayne.com for details.

Buy tickets online through Eventbrite and

save $2 per ticket. Adult one-day tickets are $8 plus a $1.43 fee through Sept. 12. Youth tickets for ages 6-14 are $5 plus a $1.27 fee. Children 5 and under are admitted free. A family one-day package for two adults and two youths is $24 plus a $2.31 fee.

Organizers invited makers with exhibits relating to activities such as robotics, green technology, rocketry, radio operations, art cars, do-it-yourself science, unusual craft projects and whimsical technical creations.

TekVenture is a Fort Wayne nonprofit group with a mission to improve public access to the kind of specialized tools, equip-ment and training required by artists and inventors to advance innovative proj-ects.

Registration also has opened for a race added to the event’s activities two years ago: the electric vehicle straight track obsta-cle-course competition.

Teams participating in the event are allowed to spend up to $500 modi-fying a battery-powered child ride-on vehicle for the race. Adults race the vehicles over a track including obstacles of pea gravel, water, sand and wood chips.

The vehicles will race against a clock, side-by-side, with the winning car determined by the total time elapsed during the three quickest of its four heats.

An exhibit presented by the Bicycle Museum of America will explain the history of early bikes such as the Shire bone-shaker and the Ariel highwheeler. The origins of the museum come from the Schwinn Bicycle collection.

Frightening fun or a serious scare? Visitors make their own choice at the Haunted Castle & Black Forest at Auburn and Wallen roads.

The frights are courtesy of the Saint Vincent Boy Scouts Troop, sponsored by Saint Vincent DePaul Catholic Church at 1502 E. Wallen Road. Park at the Saint Vincent School, and follow the directions to the attractions.

“It’s really two different things,” said Assis-tant Scoutmaster Keith Hedrick. “The Black Forest is more attuned to your older kids who want to be a little more spooked. The Haunted Castle is more of a fun house, and we have kids going through it from on their parents’ shoulders to adults.”

“There’s also a night that we keep the lights on for kids who want to get a feel for it,” he said. The “lights-on” night is Sunday, Oct. 12.

“We don’t try to go over the top in scares because we want it to be a family event,” he said. “We don’t want any nightmares.”

The two-tier attraction opens Friday, Sept. 26, and spooks guests of all ages through Saturday, Nov. 1. The Castle opens at 7 p.m. The Forest opens at dark. The attraction is open every Friday and Saturday, plus the last three Thursdays and the last four Sundays.

“We’re open on Thurs-days and Sundays from dark till 9:30, and we’ll start letting people in at 6:30,” Hedrick said. “And then on weekends we’re open until 11:30 Friday and Saturday. “We have a lot of kids and scouts

that work the event, and we want them home to be able to go to school the next day,” he said.

Get details at haunted-castle.com.

Julie Ward helps to create the set designs, following the style of the Haunted Castle section

that dates back to the former church building that was razed nearby in 2008. “We try to re-create the look from the old church,” she said in an interview.

“We opened up the New Haunted Castle in 2010. We never closed between

that time and stayed open until the new castle was completed,” she said in an email.

“I just try to spruce it up a little and change a few things so it’s not always the same,” she said. Last year, for instance, “We created a room with a lot of fog in it. Very eerie.”

“I also do the face painting for all the charac-ters,” said the self-taught makeup artist. “It depends

on the character and where they’re working. We try to make the face paint and the costume match the areas that they’re working in.”

“There’s some bloody going on, and some scar-ring,” she said.

program for a lot of kids.”“We like to think the

Castle is for everyone,” Hedrick said. “Come out and visit and take a look, and I think they will find that we’re pretty spot-on with being able to enter-tain young ones as well as adults. Everyone has a good time out there.”

He said the church sponsors the scouts. The attraction is located on land that the scouts bought and gave to the

church. “Everything we build, everything we do, when we buy anything — it ends up being a gift to the church,” he said.

The Haunted Castle is set up year-round, but some of the rooms are used for storage during the off-season. “We start work on it Labor Day and will be there every weekend until we open up,” Hedrick said.

“At any given time, we’ll have over 100 adults and kids working,” he

said. “We also have emer-gency response people from the fire departments, and we also have deputy sheriffs there on the prop-erty.”

“We have people coming back that have been there from the first year, and we’ve been open over 30 years,” Hedrick said. “We have people who came out when they were kids bringing their own kids back.”

“My kids went through the program,” said the

scouts’ treasurer. “I’ve been involved with the program since the ’90s. We have volunteers that have been volunteering since they were kids, and they’ve been involved over 35 years.”

Shriners plan Oct. 11kids’ screening clinic

A breakfast crowd of several hundred converged on Fort Wayne Interna-tional Airport on Aug. 24 for the Mizpah Shriners Fly-in Breakfast.

Proceeds will go to Shrine hospitals and to the transportation service that carries a minimum of 1,200 area children to those hospitals each year.

The Shrine hospital network includes an ortho-pedic and spinal center in Chicago and a burn center in Cincinnati. No child is denied treatment because of a family’s inability to pay. There is never a charge for transportation.

The next screening clinic is scheduled for 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, at Parkview Hospital North Campus. Enter by Door 2A at Entrance 1. The clinic is open to everyone. Repre-sentatives will explain the services offered at the hospitals. Children who are possible candidates for those services can be checked by a doctor. Infor-mation pamphlets will be distributed. The Mizpah Clowns will entertain the children.

Doctors will determine each child’s eligibility for the orthopedic hospital. Emergency physicians assess and assign the burn

patients. Burn patients usually are transported by air, and the Shrine is noti-fied afterward.

Any questions can be directed to 426-4543.

“This is all done through the volunteers of the Shri-ners,” Mizpah Recorder Ellis Ryan said of the pancake breakfast fund-raiser. “It is strictly used for the hospitals.”

Volunteer drivers are on the road about five days a week, Ryan said. Many of those drivers were on hand at the breakfast, to shuttle guests from free parking and across Ferguson Road to Aviation Hangar 13.

Shriners transformed the spacious building twice in two days. On Saturday, volunteers unloaded two trailers of tables, chairs and custom-made cooking appliances. On Sunday, Shriners cooked and served pancakes, sausage, ham, bacon, potatoes, toast and eggs cooked to order for more than six hours. They then loaded the equipment back onto the trailers. The several Shrine units and clubs and youth from the Demolay assisted.

Pilots flew in from Dayton, Ohio, and else-where to share in the $5 breakfast.

The Mizpah Band and the Mizpah Bagpipers performed.


Leo attraction promisesmore difficult corn maze

Cedar Creek Produce Farm promises more attrac-tions and a more difficult corn maze this fall.

Amy Flentz said she and her husband, co-owner Randy Flentz, planted the corn in June and cut the designed path when the corn was about waist high. “We asked for comments last year and people wanted it harder than it was last year,” she said. “We

haven’t quite timed it yet, but it will be harder than last year’s.”

“There’s one way in and one way out, and if you take the correct path you will go in and come back out,” she said. “And if you take the wrong turn, you’ll spend a little more time in there.”

“We have some land-marks to watch, just in case,” she said.

The maze will open Friday, Sept. 19, at the farm at 11709 Clay St. in

Leo-Cedarville, and remain open at least through Oct. 31. Hours are 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Fridays and Satur-days and 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Sundays. Last admittance is one hour before closing. The cost is $7 for adults, $5 for students, and free for ages 4 and under accompanied by an adult. A separate charge applies to the separate activities area, or visitors may buy a combination pass.

Reach the farm by Clay Street off Indiana 1 from the north, or by Halter Road from St. Joe Road from the south.

For details, call Amy Flentz at 627-5239.

The nearby activity area is new this season. “It’s going to have a cornbox, which is like a sandbox full of corn,” she said.

The Flentzes have added a Halloween trail through the woods. “We’re trying to keep it pretty fami-ly-friendly,” she said.

“We have people who have come every year for 15 years,” she said. “People have their chil-dren’s pictures taken with a blow-up cat.”

The farm will sell fall decorations, straw bales, cornstalks, mums, gourds, pumpkins and squash.


Singing under the trees will take place at Wood-view Church of God at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13. A concert featuring Encore will be presented and everyone is invited to bring a lawn chair and enjoy the music.

The church is located in a wooded setting at 1825 Getz Road, just south of Illinois Road, or north of Time Corners. “We feel fortunate to have such a setting. The area with over 50 large trees gives the feel that we are far removed from the city,” said Wood-

view Pastor the Rev. Joe Shouse.

Woodview Church of God is in the midst of a building program and although the concert is free, the church will offer concessions including hot dogs, taco in the bag, nachos and cheese, popcorn and soft drinks. “We want the community to come and enjoy some food while listening to some great gospel and country style music,” Shouse said. The refreshments will be offered at a nominal cost with proceeds going to the

church building fund.Encore will present a

two-hour concert that will include gospel and country classics from the past 50 years.

“Our goal is to take gospel music to the unchurched people and help the Lord bring them into the church family,” said group founder Jack Willis. “Our concerts are unique in that we share our testimony of God’s love, grace and faith. In this way we honor the Lord and teach about the gospel and His wonderful word.”

Selections from decades of music will overflow the sanctuary of a southwest side church at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28.

Marlane Sturm is retiring after 25 years as director of music and worship arts ministry at Aldersgate United Methodist Church, 2417 Getz Road.

The church has invited those who have participated in the music ministry over the past 25 years to join today’s singers and handbell ringers for that final program. The

public is invited. A free-will offering will be accepted.

“A lot of my teens who are now married and have children are now coming back from all over the place, from Cincinnati and Chicago, and I am so thrilled, because to put these singers and bell ringers together is going to be so much fun and it’s going to be a real celebration,” Sturm said.

About 16 to 18 instrumentalists will share in the program. Mia Bendele’s dance students will participate. “She’s a really great ballet teacher as well as a beautiful

dancer herself,” Sturm said.“So it will be a great celebration, two

days before my last day here. So hopefully I can go out on a high note and not be too sad,” Sturm said.

At the first rehearsal of the fall season, Sturm told handbell ringers that she expects 27 ringers to play five handbell numbers during the program. “It makes me feel so good and so loved to have you all here,” she said.

Sturm lives near Monroeville. “My husband is of another denomination and has

worshipped on his own for 43 years of our marriage, and so it’s time that we do some worshipping together, too,” she said.

The Rev. Derek Weber has served as Aldersgate’s lead pastor for seven years, while Sturm has served as the director of music and worship arts.

Weber said music is an extremely important component of worship.

“It’s been a learning experience for me — her connection with the congregation, her history here has been very helpful,” Weber said.

Farewell concert to double as church reunion

Embassy welcomes helpwith window decorations

The Embassy Theatre is looking for individuals or groups interested in deco-rating the animated holiday windows along Harrison Street for the 2014 holiday season.

These windows are reminiscent of the holi-days in downtown Fort Wayne when locally owned

department store Wolf and Dessaur would unveil beau-tiful decorated windows for Christmas that showcased animated elves, Santa and other holiday characters in a winter or holiday scene. Lines of people would stream down the sidewalk to take in all the magic.

For more information, visit fwembassytheatre.org.

In 2009, the Embassy Theatre with the help of Fort Wayne Metals brought back these magical windows utilizing some of the original W & D animated characters. Through the work and expertise of Corner House owners David and Kathy James, the animated holiday windows became a holiday favorite once again for Fort Wayne.

To celebrate 30 years of the Embassy’s Festival of Trees, the windows will be awarded to individuals or groups that would like to utilize their skills and imagination in bringing these windows to life for everyone to enjoy. Specific guidelines and requirements are at fwembassytheatre.org, click on Festival of Trees.

“We can’t wait to see what ideas people may have for our windows,” said Kelly Updike, Embassy executive director. “We encourage professional decorators, artists, universities, clubs, groups and anyone with an artistic flair to share their talents with the Embassy and the community.”

Built in 1928, the historic Embassy Theatre features national productions from the Broadway stage, concerts of all musical formats, cinema, educa-tional programming and a continued commitment to young people.

Serving sizes are larger than similarly named prod-ucts at other shops, he said.

Then there’s the variety. “You won’t just see five or six drinks. You’re gonna see a plethora of drinks,” he said. “The menu is endless. One of our values is we recognize each customer as an individual. So if you like your coffee with a banana, we can do that.”

Martin’s staff of 15 also serve four kinds of sandwiches. Muffins,

doughnuts and scones are delivered fresh twice each week.

Opening the store was the right decision, he said. “I am so glad I did it. I really am enjoying it,” he said. “There’s something to be said about owning your own place.”

Biggby has stores in South Bend and Misha-waka, Ind., Martin said. Biggby has more than 100 franchises in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, South Carolina and Texas. For details, visit biggby.com.

Fall food appeal goes to 130 churchesAssociated Churches

of Fort Wayne and Allen County plans a commu-nity-wide food drive in September, which has been designated Hunger Action Month.

“Our 130-some congre-

gations have received information concerning gathering of food, and we’re encouraging people to bring food to their congregation,” said the Rev. Fred Meuter, the director of church relations.

Direct questions to [email protected], or call The Associated Churches at 422-3528.

“As we enter the fall of the year, the need for food becomes crucial,” the organization said in a news release. “Let’s rally to finish the summer strong. Please help us feed the hungry by bringing your gifts of canned and boxed food to church during the

month of September. Your contributions to the work of Associated Churches will feed those in need.”

Each church will receive posters and paper shop-ping bags with lists of commonly needed food items.

“The needs of the hungry in our community go on regardless of what season of the year it is,” Meuter said.

Kuehnerts and cows ready for dairy festivalFor 107 years, the

Kuehnert family shared the homestead with the dairy cows.

The farm became a little more crowded last fall, when Kueh-nert Dairy Fall Festival welcomed about 1,500 schoolchildren and 4,500 other visitors.

The family and 300 dairy cows are ready to try it again.

“We’re very excited,” said Sarah Kuehnert. “We feel that last year was a huge success.”

“One of our favorite things was a hayride — a farm tour,” she said. “The dairy industry is special to our hearts and it’s neat that people wanted to come out and learn about the cows and how we care for them. They also love the cows, which is exactly what we wanted to accomplish — to expand people’s education of the dairy industry and to expand family life.”

The festival runs five weekends, beginning Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 27 and 28, and then every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in October. Hours are 6-10 p.m. Fridays, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturdays, and noon-5

p.m. Sundays. Admis-sion is $8. Children 2 and under are admitted free. Kuehnert Dairy is at 6532 W. Cook Road, at U.S. 33.

“We are open for special tours and events throughout the year, but the Fall Festival is when we are open the five weekends,” Kueh-nert said. “But you can always schedule some-thing by appointment.” Call 417-1918, or email [email protected].

The admission price includes all the activities, including the corn maze and the straw mountain. There is an extra charge for a pumpkin, should a child wish to paint a pumpkin and take it

home.Food costs extra,

too. “We have gourmet grilled cheese sand-wiches made right here,” Kuehnert said. “The signature sandwich is the Mousetrap, and it has three kinds of cheese.”

“We also do hot dogs and then we have fresh-squeezed lemonade in a souvenir cup, and soft-serve ice cream, and also milk, milk jugs, hot chocolate and water,” Kuehnert said. “We also sell smores kits to cook over a campfire.”

“We have Spookley shirts for kids,” she said. “He is a unique pumpkin from a book, and he is a spokesman for bullying prevention.”

Adults might prefer a shirt created just for the Fall Festival.

Visitors like to trace the corn maze by flash-light. “You’re more than welcome to bring your own flashlight, but a lot of people forget, so we have customized Kueh-nert Dairy flashlights,” Kuehnert said.

The center of the festival, though, is the dairy. “We have robotic milking this year, and a viewing area,” Kuehnert said. “So it’s going to be pretty neat.”

Kuehnert’s is taking reservations for tours on Tuesdays and Wednes-days, from Sept. 30 to Oct. 22. The grounds also can be reserved for

private events such as birthday parties.

“We want people to see what we do on a day-to-day basis, and then make their own family memories,” Kueh-nert said.

On opening weekend Sept. 27 and 28, Kueh-nert’s will kick off the Fort Wayne area observance of the Great American Milk Drive, sponsored by the National Dairy Council

and Feeding America. Visitors will be invited to donate a gallon of milk to their local food bank. Contributions also can be made online.

“Americans don’t get enough servings of dairy a day, especially those who are hungry,” Kueh-nert said.

Kuehnert’s is a Hoosier Homestead Farm. That Indiana State Department of Agricul-ture program recognizes farms that have been owned by the same family for more than a century.


Children climb a straw mountain at Kuehnert Dairy Farm. Activities, including the corn maze, are included in the admission price.

is between the ’20s and the ’40s.”

“We have grouped together antique equip-ment and the people who know how to use it,” she said. “That’s the key thing, is not just walking around and looking at it, but seeing it in use.”

Yauchler, the manager of outdoor recreation for the parks department, said the festival was created by her predecessor, Tony Acosta.

The farmstead park also is host to a fiber festival each May. “Really, one of the big goals is to be more educational,” Yauchler said. “So that’s why we do our festivals on Friday and Saturday instead of Saturday and Sunday, is because we want to give that opportunity to local schools, child care centers, adult care centers, for people to come out and have an activity and

see some of this tech-nology.”

Visitors may watch as volunteer farmers harvest the crops they have grown on their assigned parcels, which total about 40 acres. “The farmers are really the driving force behind the Fall Harvest Festival,” Yauchler said. “Many belong to the Tri-State Two-Cylinder Tractor Club.”

“We open up our Heri-tage Barn and they bring out a lot of really old equipment and they use it,” she said. “We have an old threshing machine that harvests the wheat and oats that are grown at the farm.”

The DeKalb County Horsemen’s Association offers wagon rides.

“We have tractors

pulling wagons, too,” Yauchler said. “We have a lot of antique farm equipment.”

“This year they’re going to have ‘hit-and-miss’ engines, which they haven’t had in the past,” she said. “These were used to drive a belt that was used to power equip-ment before electricity.”

The farm’s cows, sheep, donkeys, goats and chickens will be on display.

Food concessions will be available.

The Distant Travelers will bring music Saturday afternoon.

For directions to the farm and more on its history, visit fort-wayneparks.org.

To arrange a field trip, call Yauchler at 427-6008.

information. That’s why our grandkids need to be in the proper car seat in the back

seat. Here are the basics:

*

*

*

*

Children should be in rear-facing car seats until age two OR until they are at the upper

height and weight limits of their car seats

Children older than age two should sit in a forward-facing seat with a harness until

they’re at the upper height and weight limits of their car seats

After children grow out of their harnesses, they should remain in booster seats until

seat belts fit properly

Do not let your child ride in the front seat of a vehicle until age 13

Indiana.”Observant visitors will

notice something different about the grave site. “We’re doing a refreshing of the whole grave site area,” said Bridget Kelly, a festival executive board member. Bushes are being removed and replaced. “A lot of people don’t realize this, but on either side of the grave the bushes are in the shape of a ‘J’ and a ‘C,’ so the new bushes are much closer to the ground and it’s much easier to see that. I think as the bushes fill in that it will really look nice.”

Rock flooring will surround the marker. “The area around the grave was cobblestone, which was extremely pretty but also difficult to walk across,” Kelly said. The new floor will have a more rustic look and a more even surface.

“They are putting mulch in the areas where the grass has worn down or because of the shape of the hill the grass wouldn’t grow well,” Kelly said.

Leeper’s Lawn Service, of Fort Wayne, is dedi-cated to completing the project before the festival, she said. “Even those days when it was pouring rain they were there working on it,” she said.

“People do make a point of going up there,” Kelly said. “A lot of school groups visit.”

“For a while there was someone we never saw who would bring a [John Chapman] signature done in very heavy metal like it had been cut with a torch,” she said. The signature would be placed before the festival and it would vanish by the Monday morning after the festival. “This went on for years, and we never knew who did it. They slipped in under cover of dark-ness,” Kelly said.

Festival fare includes pork chops, turkey burgers, beef brisket and every variation of apple pie. The 45 registered vendors include the Homestead High School band boosters, who cook chicken and dumplings in cast iron kettles over open fires, and who each year serve more than 8,000 servings.

“All the favorites are back,” said Kelly, who has served on the committee and has watched the food booths grow for more than 20 years.

The Norwell Band Boosters group has joined the vendors this year, and will sell apple brats.

The Trinity Episcopal Church music program also has joined, and will sell plain and choco-late-dipped popcorn balls.

“The vast majority of the food booths are not-for-profits,” Kelly said.

“Last year the weather was extraordinarily good,

and food vendors had extremely busy years,” she said.

Though food is her specialty, Kelly said the all-volunteer board succeeds because of everyone’s participation. “Nobody is doing this as a job,” she said. “We’ve got a great group, and everybody pulls together and makes it happen.”

Hayes, the festival’s director of administration, also reminded visitors that they may attend a Christian worship service at 10 a.m. Sunday at the festival stage. The Swedenborgian Church then will present a half-hour program about the teachings of the church to which Chapman belonged.

The program is very informative, said Hayes, who noted that those details and a full festival schedule are available at johnnyappleseedfest.com.

Hayes invites visitors to watch the ceremony and the craft demonstra-tions, enjoy the music and savor the food, but also to remember the contri-butions that sustain the two-day celebration.

“It’s our 40th [festival],” he said, “and we wouldn’t be here without the contributions of so many generous sponsors over the years. There were some lean years, and the sponsors got us through the rough spots, and that’s why we’re still here today.”
