Overlook Park was for the children. For the younger: a ring toss, bean bag game and ball toss; older children were provided materials to build a scarecrow. By day’s end, an appropriately spooky number of scarecrows—13—were erected around downtown. Tasters and judges alike sampled entrants in the chili cook-off from 10 to 11:30 a.m. The people’s choice winner was Roxene Gould was the people’s choice winner, while Chris Lange was the judges’ choice winner. An ambulance parked at the festival and offered blood pressure screening from 9 to noon, and there was a silent auction at the Albertson Memorial Library. Jill Hanson, who sold hand-turned writing pens and sewing items said, “This was our first try,” at the festival. “We wanted to support our town.”
The Albany Historical Society celebrated 25 years of service with an open house on Sept. 24. People gathered and talked and toured the building, both the first floor and the basement, where many of the antique items are kept. The displays are organized around particular themes. Downstairs there was a barber’s chair owned by Roy Bowman, who cut hair in Albany until he was 97 years old. Other attractions include an airplane propeller from a German plane that landed in a German field brought back by U.S. GI Vic-

‘The Haven’ gives jolt to downtown Orfordville
The Haven, located at 114 E. Spring St., in downtown Orfordville, opened to much fanfare on Sept. 25. The shop held a shortened “pop-up” opening on the night of Sept. 22, during Parkview’s Homecoming, where they served Viking-colored ice cream, blueberry floats and chili. Now opened officially, the Haven offers a full barista-made coffee,, ground in Central Wisconsin by Ruby Coffee. They also serve paninis, breakfast sandwiches and pastries, along with Babcock ice cream, hot and cold drinks, and soups and salads. The shop is still tweaking its hours to meet the needs of employees and staff, but it is broadly safe to say the Haven is open by 7 a.m. Monday through Saturday.
