Appleseed fest to mark 40 years

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

New Haven Kiwanis Peanut Days help tell Riley Hospital story

By Garth Snow

Cannons 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. Admission is free.

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

Johnny Appleseed Festival Director of Administration Bruce Hayes, left, and board assistant Gerald Ediger wear authentic early 19th-century clothing as they tour the 2013 festival.

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 See FEST, Page A2

The Kiwanis stand outside a grocery store.

Shoppers give to Riley Hospital for Children. The Kiwanis say thank you with a small bag of peanuts.

Jeff Showman says that’s important, but it’s not the whole story. The continuing mission, he said, is to raise awareness of the hospital.

As a member of the New Haven Kiwanis Club, Showman has been taking his turn outside the Lincoln Highway Kroger store for four years. He will be back at the store on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26 and 27.

The Kiwanis crew will hand out peanuts from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The bag of peanuts is just a token, said Ollie Brueck, who schedules eight volunteers each day. “It’s a tradition with Kiwanis in the state of Indiana, and it’s for Riley Hospital,” he

Riley Hospital for Children has been caring for Indiana children for 85 years. The hospital and its regional clinics throughout the state provide treatment more than 350,000 times each year. For details, visit rileykids.org. said. “Riley is mainly for children who have disabilities.”

All Kiwanis clubs near Fort Wayne will hold Peanut Days on about those same dates, Showman said.

Many shoppers expect to see the Kiwanis at their posts late each September.

“There are a lot of people who recognize that it’s that time of the year,” Showman said. “Some people are very forthcoming, and we try to start a conversation as often as possible.”

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.

“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,” she 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 See YEARS, Page A10

FEST from Page A1 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 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 dedicated 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

“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 chocolate-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.

Scenes from northeast Indiana’s past are re-created along the banks of the Saint Joseph River during the Johnny Appleseed Festival.

“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 halfhour 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 demonstrations, enjoy the music and savor the food, but also to remember the contributions 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.”

Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County is conducting a community-wide food drive in September, which has been designated Hunger Action Month.

“Our 130-some congregations 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 fred@associatedchurches. org, 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

shopping 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. “And quite often around major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas people are really paying attention to that. Well guess what, people are hungry during the summer, during the fall, during the spring and during the winter.”

“I passionately feel that we need to make people in our community aware of the ongoing needs of the hungry, and through the association of churches we try to provide emergency food relief for those people in the community who have fallen on difficulties,” he said.

“That’s where the passion of the people in our organization is as well,” he said. “So the people in the community who run those food pantries have all gathered together to make sure that those who are in need are not forgotten and are provided for.”

Good news for your neighborhood.

Contributors have had family members who have been patients at Riley.

“Oftentimes it’s a niece, or a cousin, or a sister. A lot of people stop to share a story with us,” Showman said.

The Kiwanis peanut tradition began in the Chicago area 62 years ago, according to Sue Hasler, an accountant and board member for Kiwanis Peanut Day Inc. in Lemont, Ill. Hasler is employed by the company that provides the 3/4-ounce bags of salted-in-the-shell peanuts, but she is also a Kiwanis member.

The Chicago tradition continues on the fourth Friday of September.

Different clubs and regions support different charities, and even observe different dates. “We sell to clubs in the South that do it yearround,” Hasler said.

She said the founders chose peanuts because they were inexpensive and easy to handle. “There was no microwave popcorn in those days,” she said.

Twin attractions offer variable fright meter

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

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 Assistant 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,

Salomon Harvest Festival relives bygone farm era

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

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

The 170-acre Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation 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,â€? said parks employee Karla Yauchler. “They were really speciďŹ c that they wanted it to remain a working, living-history farm, and the time period is between the ’20s and the ’40s.â€? “We have grouped together antique equipment and the people who know how to use it,â€? she said. “That’s the key thing, is not just walking around and looking at it, but seeing it in use.â€?

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 ďŹ ber 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 technology.�

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 Heritage 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 equipment before elec-

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.

Leo corn maze has more wrong turns

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Cedar Creek Produce Farm promises more attractions 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 landmarks 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 Saturdays 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.

The corn behind the barn across Clay Street will be home to the corn maze at Cedar Creek Produce Farm.

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. Kids may clamber onto a straw tractor.

The Flentzes have added a Halloween trail through the woods.

“We’re trying to keep it pretty family-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.”

“We hope they come out and have some fun and enjoy it,” she said.

The farm will sell fall decorations, straw bales, cornstalks, mums, gourds, pumpkins and squash. Summer crops such as sweetcorn and tomatoes will be available until frost.

Apples from the farm will be sold alongside apples from Michigan, and apple cider will be brought in from an orchard in Goshen. “We have our own honey, we make our own maple syrup, and we sell brown eggs,” Amy Flentz said.

Saint Rose fest offers food, games, music

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Saint Rose of Lima Parish will celebrate the third annual Saint Rose Summerfest all day Saturday, Sept. 20.

Events will be held at Monroeville Community Park, 420 Monroe St. The event is intended for all ages. Admission is free.

The Rev. Dino Fernandes said the festival serves multiple purposes.

“A group of us got our community together to bring the larger Monroeville community and surrounding area togther and provide a means for family fun and entertainment,” Fernandes said.

“A side impact is that is helps define our school program,” he added.

Saint Rose of Lima School, formerly known as Saint Joseph School, occupies the former Monroeville Elementary School building. Saint Rose serves prekindergarten through eighth grade.

“Everyone becomes involved in it, and the students are involved,” Saint Rose Principal Gale Powelson said. “The big kids are working.”

“The park is right beside our school, and we have an open house at the school that day and the Mass there that evening,” Powelson said.

The school’s enrollment is up to 108 this year, the first-year principal said.

The band Renegade will take the Dewey Stage from 6:30-10:30 p.m. That act follows a variety show featuring talent from the parish. The Red Solo Cup tent by the refreshment tent offers adult beverages from 2-10:30 p.m.

Activities begin at 8 a.m. with the Archer Dash 5k & Fun Kid Run. Get the full schedule and register at sites.google. com/site/strosesummerfest14.

Highlights include: 9 a.m.: kickball tournament, register online.

10 a.m.-5 p.m.: kids’ games and inflatables.

10 a.m.-5 p.m.: vendors meet special shopping needs 10:30 a.m.: food and drink concessions. Stop by the white barn for low-cost food.

11 a.m.-3 p.m.: Bingo

Noon: Family Feud on the Dewey Stage 1 p.m.: golf cart cruise.

Register online.

2-10:30 p.m.: Red Solo Cup Beer Tent 2-4 .m.: Saint Rose open house 4 p.m.: Duck Derby races 4:30 p.m.: Mass in the school chapel 5:30 p.m.: Variety show on the Dewey Stage, register online.

6:30-10:30 p.m.: Enjoy the music and dance to the Renegade band. Stay for the cash raffle.

Summerfest Committee member Christine Castleman said the festival attracts between 500 and 1,000 people each year.

“Since its inception [in 2012], one of the things we’ve been trying to do is make it a fun day and invite the whole community to be a part of it,” the parish said in a news release. “We

have a variety of food and great music to appeal to everybody. Saint Rose Summerfest is a place where the whole community can come participate. It’s neat to see people from around the community. There are activities for kids of all ages — from the stroller set all the way to the senior members and beyond.”

YEARS from Page A1 hopefully I can go out on a high note and not be too sad,� Sturm said.

At the ďŹ rst rehearsal of the fall season, Sturm told handbell ringers that she expects 27 ringers to play ďŹ ve handbell numbers during the program. “It makes me feel so good and so loved to have you all here,â€? 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. “She is well connected with both this church and the community, and that gives her lots of resources. “She has a passion about

worship and music, and you can’t help but love that and helping her fulďŹ ll that passion.â€? “She’s bringing back some folks who are no longer in town. They’re coming back because they love her, and it’s going to be a big day,â€? Weber said. “I started singing in the choir when I was in the third grade,â€? she said, at “a very, very tiny church in Yorkville, Ohio,â€? not far from Wheeling, W.Va. “I fell in love with church music,â€? Sturm said. “We shared a pastor with a neighboring church and his wife directed the choir.

Even though she had the choir in the neighboring church, she asked a high school friend and me to sing in a cantata. It was John Peterson’s cantata, called ‘King of Kings.’ And that was the ďŹ rst time that I had sung four-part church music other than hymns in the hymnal.

Actually we didn’t have

an adult choir in my little church. We kids were the choir. And we had a choir director who was a high school girl who taught us to sing parts and we just thought that was wonderful that we sang two-part music.â€? That ďŹ rst experience with SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) music was wonderful, she said. “So I guess it just kind of got into my bones.â€?

After graduating from Ohio University and marrying, Sturm taught school in Ohio. After the move to Indiana, she was a stay-at-home mom and expected to return to teaching. Then she felt the calling to the music ministry, and prepared at Fort Wayne Bible College.

She came to Aldersgate from Monroeville United Methodist Church, and continued to direct there one Sunday each month during her early Aldersgate years. She and her husband, Joe, still live just

PUBLIC CONCERT 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28 Aldersgate United Methodist Church, 2417 Getz Road Marlane Sturm presents the ďŹ nal program of her 25-year career at the church.

A free-will offering will be accepted. north of Monroeville.

She began a teen drama program at Aldersgate. “I started taking them every other year on work mission performance trips down into West Virginia, and our ďŹ rst stop was my hometown, and we stayed at my old church,â€? she said. “And then we went down into the main body of West Virginia. I had a pastor friend and his wife in that area, and he set up programs for us to do in small churches and nursing homes. It was so neat to go back to my home church and take my teen kids from here so they could perform. That was fun.

That was really a good thing.�

With each new program came new responsibility. “I had a lot on my plate, from preschool all the way through,� she said. Aldersgate hired Chuck Scott as music director.

Pastor Weber said Aldersgate changed its Sunday morning worship format right after Easter this year. “We used to have two identical services,� he said. The 9 a.m. service is still a traditional service, and the larger service, he said. “And then at 11 we meet in our new children’s area called the Street, after Aldersgate Street in London where John Wesley had his heartwarming experience.

Genesis is a more modern worship, with a little more singing, less choir singing and more congregational participation as opposed to presentation.�

Sturm has heard music change over her career. “I think the style of anthems has changed,� she said. “They’re stepping out

with new things, new harmonies. It’s not just the big anthems with brass.

They’re doing some new things with strings, which I love to do. I love to use instruments, and they’re doing something with very dissonant chords so it has more of a jazz air to it, and I love that.�

She said handbell music has welcomed creative changes. “I didn’t think they could come up with any new techniques, and just a few years ago they came up with the singing bell,� she said. “To see the creativity and new inventions in music has been really exciting to me,� she said.

Sturm said it was January when she ďŹ rst considered retirement. She has questioned the decision over the past few months. “I’m going to be able to do it,â€? she said. “I still feel somewhat guilty at times.

But, on the other hand, I do feel at peace.�

After her retirement, Sturm will not remain a member of the choir, or of Aldersgate. “I don’t think it’s fair that I stay here,� she said. “It may appear that I’m looking over the shoulder of the next director, and they need to know that I’m not the director anymore. “And besides, it’s almost a 50-mile round trip from home to Aldersgate, and I’ve been doing that for 25 years.� “I’m not making a commitment to any particular church,� she said. “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.�

Kuehnerts and cows ready for more guests

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

For 107 years, the Kuehnert family shared the homestead with the dairy cows.

The farm became a little more crowded last fall, when Kuehnert 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very excited,â&#x20AC;? said Sarah Kuehnert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel that last year was a huge success.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our favorite things was a hayride â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a farm tour,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dairy industry is special to our hearts and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neat that people wanted to come out and learn about the cows and how we care for them.

Sample New Haven vendors gain from giving

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Mark Anderson handed out free food to hundreds of people at last year’s Sample New Haven.

It’s good business, said the owner of Andy’s Knockout Chicken. “From my standpoint, it’s a marketing day for me,” he said.

Anderson will have another marketing oppor-

tunity Saturday, Oct. 4.

The two-time winner of the People’s Choice Award plans to add a third title.

The New Haven Chamber of Commerce presents the event beginning at 11 a.m. Join the festivities by paying $2 per person or $5 per family. A smiley face stamp on one hand entitles the visitor to enjoy samples from restaurants along Broadway.

Each guest may vote for

their favorite.

“We’re going to do ribs and barbecued potatoes,” Anderson said. “We’re going to do drumsticks, which is pretty popular, and then chicken corn chowder soup with cornbread.”

“We take the chicken off the grill, and we shred that and that’s the base, and we add some broth and seasoning,” he explained.

The chowder recipe is from

the Old Settlers Cookbook that he bought at a Johnny Appleseed Festival about 10 years ago, he said.

Last year he served 30 slabs of ribs, of 12 bones each, and ran out of chicken drumsticks. “I ended up throwing on 50 half-chickens and cutting those up, and we ran out of them,” he said. He said 200 people were in line at various times. “It seems to grow each year. It’s a

pretty cool thing,” he said.

Sample New Haven also offers a sample of other activities.

At the Stop ‘N’ Shop Scavenger Hunt, businesses offer clues that can be combined to spell a secret phrase. Entries will be entered into a drawing for a 2015 Family Pass to Jury Pool, given by the New Haven Parks Department.

Free, family activities follow at Canal Landing Park. Enjoy balloon animals, face painting

by T.A.G. Art, bounce houses from Pop Up Party Rentals, a police K-9 demonstration by the New Haven Police Department, and a display of an antique fire engine provided by the Adams Township Fire Department. Watch for sun spots through a special telescope provided by the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society. Enjoy all of these activities while listening to music provided by the New Haven Alumni Band.

“Let us show you what

making New Haven your home is all about,” the Chamber said in a news release.

Anderson said the exposure is good for business.

“We got several weddings that came off of that, and graduations, fundraisers, because people really got to know the food and like it,” he said.

Anderson also stays busy cooking chicken at Wednesday night farmer’s markets in Schnelker Park.

He cooked for a girls softball fundraiser. “Anything that I can do that is associated with New Haven, I want to do it,” he said.

Anderson cooks the chicken in portable smokers in his parking lot at 404 Broadway St. “On Halloween, as long as the weather permits, we’re going to cook some drumsticks and some soup and give that away to the parents,” he added.

A breakfast crowd of several hundred converged on Fort Wayne International 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 orthopedic 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. Representatives will explain the services offered at the hospitals.

Children who are possible candidates for those services can be checked by a doctor. Information pamphlets will be distributed. The Mizpah Clowns will entertain the children.

Doctors will determine each child’s eligibility for the orthopedic hospital.

assess and assign the burn patients. Burn patients usually are transported by air, and the Shrine is notified afterward.

Any questions can be directed to the Shrine staff at 426-4543.

“This is all done through the volunteers of the Shriners,” Mizpah Recorder Ellis Ryan said of the pancake breakfast fundraiser. “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 elsewhere to share in the $5 breakfast.

The Mizpah Band and the Mizpah Bagpipers performed. The Mizpah Clowns created balloon animals for children.
