By KEITH KNEPP Associate Editor For Lori and DeLynn Geiger of Akron, the idea of improving their hometown is always something in the forefront of their minds. When the opportunity to improve the town in two ways came about, they knew it was an opportunity they couldn’t pass up.

Last Thursday afternoon, the couple broke ground on the corner lot at the intersection of Rochester and Mishawaka streets for their new venture, The Grounded Coffee House at The Depot. The plan is to move the historic old train depot located a few blocks south of that location. The depot was built in 1883 and originally was part of the Erie

Lackawanna Railroad line.

The plans are to move the depot to the southwest corner of the intersection. Before it is moved, they plan to dig a basement and foundation to place underneath the building.

The hope is to have the foundation completed and the building moved sometime this fall. The anticipated opening of the business is in 2023.

When it does open, the Geigers plan to offer breakfast, pastries and sandwiches.

“We want to fill in a gap,” said Lori Tilden-Geger. “Akron was missing a coffeehouse. This is a labor of love and it will be a protracted process because we plan to do much of the work ourselves. We were excited when we came up with the idea for this project.”

Tilden-Geiger said the depot was

BACK TO THE FUTURE — Lori Tilden-Geiger and her husband DeLynn Geiger have purchased the lot on the southwest corner of Rochester and Mishawaka streets in Akron and are planning to open a coffee house on the site in 2023. They plan to move and revitalize the old Akron train depot that sits three blocks south of the site. purchased in August from Pike Lumber and the property through the Akron Redevelopment Committee.

“This is about preserving history,” added Kurt Garner, the project’s architect and planner. “The depot is part of Akron. I’m the guide for the preservation techniques.”

Tilden-Geiger said she anticipates the business will be an informal gathering place for the community to come together. She is thrilled they also will be preserving a historic building.

When asked, “Why invest in Ak-

ron?,” the answer was easy for the Geigers. For the last three years, the couple has invested their time revitalizing the Akron Chamber of Commerce. The membership has doubled with a renewed pride in small town business and small town living. The focus moved from promoting just businesses inside the town limits to a more regional theme.

“What we have learned over the past several years is to think more regionally,” said Tilden-Geiger.

Area resident spreads her roots in landscaping

By TRACEY RUCKMAN Feature Writer

“The first year they sleep, the second year they creep, the third year they leap,” stated local landscaper Rebecca Latta.

When it comes to plants, Latta knows her stuff. In terms of growth, plants really don’t do much the first year — our job as planters is to water and care for them during year one.

“The second year the root system is becoming established and they’ll be a little bigger. And the third year they come to life. It takes about three years for any plant to really become stable.

GREEN THUMB ENTHUSIAST — Area landscaper Rebecca Latta stands next to one of the gardens she tends to. Photo by Cris Aldridge.

Eventually she came across a help wanted ad in the paper and decided to investigate. The family hired her to help maintain their home and she also became their full-time gardener and landscaper. When they moved to Illinois, she went with them.

During her time in Illinois, she furthered her horticulture studies at a university.

When the patriarch of the family passed away his wife moved back to Indiana and Latta returned as well. She continued to tend to the family’s landscaping needs, and eventually acquired a few other residential and business clients.

“Everybody I work for is a little different. Everyone has a different mindset with what they want and I really try to accommodate everyone. It’s not all just landscaping either,” she said.

Latta runs a full-service business. In addition to keeping the landscape and gardens tidy, she meets with her clients to get a feel for what they want. Whether she is designing a landscape from scratch, buying plants, mowing, or readying the gardens for the seasons, she purchases locally whenever she can to help support the community.

“I plant, deadhead, water – pretty much anything you need in a garden, I do it,” she said.

Latta also makes her own

fodder shocks to go with the fall mums, kale and pumpkins. Her favorite type of landscaping is prairie plants.

“Prairie plants are native to this area and many of them have great properties. They can be weedy sometimes, but their roots help prevent soil erosion,” she explained.

Every area has a different set of native plants and they can often be seen growing along the road. The plants extensive root system help hold the soil in place, and they attract and feed butterflies and bugs.

Species of prairie plants include blue stem, switch grasses, a fountain grass that smells like popcorn when it blooms, swamp milkweed, butterfly weed – the orange variety, tickseed, joe-pye weed and many more.

“To me, creating a landscape is like doing a painting. You’re the artist. You start from the ground and work your way up, and at the end you get to put all the pretty stuff on to make it sparkle, but it takes a while to get there,” she said.

Latta views her job as an adventure, “There is always something new and unusual to discover.”

In addition to landscaping, Latta enjoys painting, spending time outdoors, being creative, helping her family and spending time with friends.

“I grew up going down to the depot,” she concluded. “I served coffee at this location at (the former) Harris Drug Store. The name ‘The Grounded Coffee House’ not only is a coffee term, but it also means ‘well balanced.’ No matter where you go, you can always return to your roots.”

Fulton County’s First Female Auditor Lola F. Riddle, 91, Rochester, was surrounded by her loving family when she passed away at 7:22 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2021, at Wynnfield Crossing of Rochester.

RIDDLE ing up she shared her childhood with a sister, Carol, and brother, Gene. Proudly she graduated with the class of 1948 from Rochester High School. During her high school years, Lola took wood shop class and built a beautiful heirloom quality bookcase.

In the First Baptist Church of Rochester, Lola and Charles Lee Riddle were married June 27, 1951. They shared 64 years of life’s adventures. From their union came four wonderful children, Ron, Douglas, Duane and Denise. The family tree continued to grow with the added blessings of two more generations.

Initiating her professional career, Lola was a dental assistant with Dr. Harold Iler DDS for four years, then took a time out to raise her children. Lola returned to the workforce as deputy auditor for Fulton County.

She later was elected as Fulton County’s first female auditor and later retired serving Fulton County citizens for more than two decades in the auditor’s office.

Lola was a member of the Fulton County Extension Board, What Not Home Ec Club and, more recently, the Busy Belles Home Ec Club. She also was a member of the Fulton County Republican Women, Fulton County Friends of the Library and the Fulton County Historical Society, where she worked for many years.

Gifted with the arts and creativity, Lola baked and decorated many wedding cakes and special birthday cakes over the years. She enjoyed collecting Longaberger baskets and Fiesta Ware. She and Charlie looked forward to many spirited games of canasta with friends. With a great passion for music, Lola and Charlie made music playing duets for church.

obituaRies Robert L. Bozzo Founder Of Casa Villa Inc.

Robert L. Bozzo, 78, Rochester, was surrounded by his loving family when he passed away at 9:50 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 11. 2021, at his home.

On Sept. 16, 1942, Robert Lee Bozzo was born in Elkhart. He was a treasured son of Albert and Virginia Preston Bozzo. Growing up he shared his childhood with two sisters, Josephine and Elizabeth, ROBERT L. and a brother, Jerry. He graduated from Elkhart High BOZZO School in 1960. Bob continued his formal education at Butler University.

In Elkhart, Bob married the love of his life, Anna Marie Johnson, Nov. 23, 1963. From their union came a beloved son. The family tree continued to grow with the added blessing of Robert, his namesake, and adored grandson.

Bob’s memberships include the Elks Lodge 2120 and the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association. As an entrepreneur, Bob was one of the founders of the Recreational Park Trailer Industry Association. Bob founded his company, Casa Villa Inc., in the early 1980s and ran that successfully until his retirement. The business saw international trade when he began marketing the units to Japan. These were all custom built and strategically set in the side of a mountain for use as recreational residences.

In his early years, Bob enjoyed coaching junior high basketball in Elkhart. As an American sportsman, he loved boating on the sparkling waters of Lake Manitou with his family and friends. As an accomplished golfer, Bob once hit a hole in one. His favorite course was the Rochester Elks Club.

Bob and Ann returned to their home country of Italy to sightsee and visit family and friends. Many memories were made visiting the Isle of Capri, walking up the steps, then getting a taxi to return to sea level. Great times were had at Sorrento singing karaoke. There were many visits to the Vatican and once they stood less than 10 feet from the Pope. Another favorite destination was Toronto to visit the family.

As the patriarch of the Bozzo family, Bob’s greatest joy was being a grandpa. He looked forward to the holidays and special family celebrations.

He was his grandson Robert’s number one fan, always in the gallery or courtside cheering him on at all his sporting events and school activities.

Left to cherish Bob’s memory are his wife, Ann; a son, Alfie “A.J.” Bozzo; a grandson, Robert J. Bozzo, all of Rochester; and his siblings, Jerry Bozzo and Josephine Bozzo, both of Elkhart.

Preceding Bob in death are his parents and a sister, Elizabeth DeRose.

A mass of Christian burial will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 16, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1300 Main St., Rochester. Rev. Daniel Shine will officiate. Friends may visit with his family from 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept.

YOUNG ARTIST — Mentone Chamber of Commerce had its third Chalk the Walk Saturday, Sept. 4. Anyone was allowed to use chalk on downtown sidewalks. Pictured is Jordan Lane working on her Snoopy drawing in front of Mentone Town Hall.

DECORATING DOWNTOWN — Makaela Stoneburner, left, and Marley Stoneburner had fun drawing in front of TJ’s Crafts, Home Decor and Furniture, Mentone.

Chalk the Walk brings Snoopy, video game characters to Mentone Text and Photos

By LEAH SANDER Staff Writer Where could you find Snoopy and video game characters depicted in chalk during Labor Day weekend? At Mentone Chamber of Commerce’s Chalk the Walk.

On Saturday, Sept. 4, artists of all ages sketched on the town’s Main Street sidewalks in between Tucker and Morgan streets. It was the third time for the event, said Mentone Chamber of Commerce Vice President Tim Croy.

He was the one who started it.

“I got it from just seeing other towns were doing stuff like that

and so I thought, ‘Hey, that’s a good idea,’” he told InkFreeNews.

He said he’s turned down requests from people to make Chalk the Walk competitive. “I didn’t want to do that because I want people just to be able to come, have fun, enjoy their time,” he said.

A repeat Chalk the Walk attendee is Jordan Lane. On Saturday, she was positioned in front of Mentone Town Hall, 201 W. Main St., working on Snoopy-themed artwork.

“We do this every year and we look up pictures on Pinterest. I’m a big fan of Snoopy as well,” she explained as to why she chose the

“Peanuts” character to draw.

Across the way in front of Java Jacks, 111 E. Main St., Mackenzie Fisher drew the characters Cuphead and Mugman. She opted to sketch them as they are fitting to be in front of the coffee shop and they’re featured in a video game she plays.

Having fun drawing in front of TJ’s Crafts, Home Decor and Furniture, 110 E. Main St., was Makaela Stoneburner. It was the first time she’s participated in the event.

“It’s really fun and you can draw a lot of things and it doesn’t really matter what you draw,” she said.

Let’s study the Bible The coming prophetic events “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and

By REV. RON the dead in PURKEY Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

There are three great biblical events on the timeline of biblical prophecy that may be ready to happen. Let’s take a quick look at these as found in the Bible.

The first biblical event will be the return of Christ in the air (1 Corinthians 15:51-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). This biblical event is called the “Rapture.”

Our English word “rapture” comes from a Latin term that means “to transport” or “take away.” At that time Christ will return for all true Christians to take them to heaven. “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

The second biblical event will be the great tribulation. (Jeremiah 30:7; Matthew 24:15-26; Revelation 9:18-21) “For then shall be great tribulation, such

as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21).

This will be God’s judgment on a sinful world.

Satan will rule the earth, and a great political leader, the Bible calls him the Antichrist, will rule the world’s people, and there will be a “false prophet,” the religious leader. Many people will be saved during the tribulation, but it will be very difficult to live for Christ because of the power of evil in the world. This period of time will come to a close after seven years with the battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:1517).

The third biblical event will be the second coming of Christ.

(Matthew 24:16-30; Revelation 19:11-16). “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords” (Revelation 19:16).

Christ will come as a righteous judge to make war with those who oppose him. He will make short work of his enemies, as he destroys them by his word.

“And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh” (Revelation 19:21).

The rapture will trigger the tribulation period. Everyone left after the rapture will go through the tribulation. The nation of Israel will be the focus, and Israel will turn to Christ as their Messiah and savior. The Jews will be the main preachers during the tribulation; it will start with 144,000 Jewish preachers. Many

will be saved during the tribulation, but they will still have to go through the agony of Satan’s rule for seven years. Then Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet will be in perdition.

Yes, Jesus Christ is coming again.

On Saturday, Sept. 11, the Echoes of the Past played host to 35 tractors for the Kurt Miller Memorial Tractor Drive.

Participants from as far away as Logansport trailered tractors in to be a part of the 26-mile drive to honor Miller, who died at the age of 17 in an accident in 2015.

His love of all things agriculture is the driving force behind the tractor drive. Miller was an active member of the Beaver Dam 4-H group and the Tippecanoe Valley High School FFA. He showed calves at the Kosciusko County Fair and also entered his farm toy scene in general projects. Participants cranked over their tractors at 9 a.m. and start-

ed the 26-mile route down the county roads of Kosciusko County, returning to Miller’s home on CR 600S. Lunch of hamburgers, pork burgers and hot dogs was provided after the drive was enjoyed while stories of tractor refurbishing, farming and memories of Miller were shared.

The Echoes of the Past would like to thank the Burket Fire Department, Mentone Fire and Police Department, and the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department for assisting with traffic control, Ceres Solutions and Devon Zimmerman for aiding in parking, and Igloo Ice Cream and Ada Rebman for special treats for lunch.

PILOT LIGHT — Congratulations to Mentone Flying Club member Phil Fozo on earning his private pilot certificate. “I did it!” said Fozo. “I finally did it! After almost two years of training and a lifetime of looking up at airplanes wishing I was up there, I’m finally a real pilot! My first passenger (Alex) loved it, but was also mad at me for not taking him to Antarctica to see the penguins.” Photo provided.

Founded on family — Sun Ray Window Cleaning services

By CRIS ALDRIDGE Guest Writer You’ve probably seen Aaron Schattl and his father John quite often during the last 20+ years pushing a self-fashioned equipment cart along Main Street in Rochester cleaning windows for businesses and homes. It’s time to put a name and meaning to their faces.

Just watching the two of them work so well together, each one knowing the other’s moves and actions without speaking one word.

The hard work and look of determination in their eyes at every window, making sure not to miss a spot. The satisfied look of dad, watching his son do exactly what he taught him all these years.

John Schattl was actually a math teacher for several years in a highly affluent part of the southern Chicago area when Aaron was a small child. Although John loved teaching he started noticing a change in the standards and expectations of both the school and the parents of his students, the creativity of teachers became micro-man-

aged and limited, which ultimately led him in a different direction.

It all started when a minister of John’s church started a men’s group of “go-doers.” The plan was to organize a group of salesmen and workers. Over time it seemed most of the group just wanted to be part of the sales division, and only John was left being the worker in the end, which he didn’t mind at all. The work kept him busy, and he actually enjoyed it. After considering the amount of time he spent away from home and his two small sons, John decided to start his own business.

Since Aaron and his brother were homeschooled, starting his own business allowed John to spend more time with his family.

Based on the experience derived from the men’s group of the “godoers,” Sun-Ray Services was established in 1981.

When Aaron was just 5 years old his father presented him with a hand-made miniature squeegee and pole along with a little business T-shirt for him to wear. From that point on, the two have been pretty much inseparable. There

was a small pause in the father and son team when Aaron attended college to study animal science in hopes of working with horses.

But ethics would not allow Aaron to work in today’s modern horse world, and besides that, maybe he just missed his dad.

Aaron returned to his post alongside his father in the year 2000.

This time, after all the years spent looking up to his father and working next to him washing windows, Aaron took the helm, re-branding the business as Sun-Ray Window Cleaning. John had suffered a stroke with heart problems, and Aaron was adamant on taking care of him during and after his recovery.

With well over 255 accounts spanning throughout Indiana and Illinois, the father-son duo are still going strong, walking along many streets, cleaning many windows.

John is now 78 years old and still recovering.

Aaron now watches over dad, just like his dad watched over him

THREE GENERATIONS — The Schattl family is seen wearing some of John Schattl’s original business shirts. Pictured from left are John, Aaron and Matthew. Photo provided by Aaron Schattl. all these years. He stressed the importance of keeping him moving and active because he wants his father by his side for as long

as possible. Aaron said he believes things happen for a reason, and their working relationship was just meant to be.

BEAUTIFUL ENTRANCE — The area around the park sign received a fresh new look with the weeds removed.

Liberty Township Park gets maintenance help Text and photos

By LINDA WADE Fulton-Liberty Lions Club The Fulton-Liberty Lions Club recently completed work at the Liberty Township Park funded in part by a grant from the Northern Indiana Community Foundation.

“Refresh the Park” took a look at some maintenance needs on projects implemented over the years by the Lions Club and the former Park Board. The FLLC was able to create a major impact at the park’s entrance sign area where crabgrass and quack grass has reigned over the years despite volunteers attempt to pull the weeds or chemically treat them.

Lions’ members using a backhoe were able to remove several inches of soil, then placed a thick layer of plastic before six tons of landscape stone was placed.

Other needs addressed were the replacement of play structure missing steering wheels

STEERING IN RIGHT DIRECTION — Replacement of steering wheels were made to the play structure at the Liberty Township Park. and of electrical outlet covers at the basketball court and the stage.

The Fulton-Liberty Lions Club would like to express their great appreciation and admiration for

the work NICF does to bring needed fiscal assistance to community projects. Our park continues to be able to improve and to upgrade with thanks to the foundation.

Supreme Court rejects AG’s claim over Holcomb lawsuit INSIDE INDIANA BUSINESS

ZEBRA PRIDE — Kaelyn Midkiff, Rochester varsity cheerleader, helps paint the windows of a downtown business. Photo by Alison Handy.

The Indiana Supreme Court has issued an order allowing a lawsuit filed by Governor Eric Holcomb over a bill concerning emergency powers to continue.

By a 4-1 vote, the court upheld a previous ruling rejecting Attorney General Todd Rokita’s claim only he could file a lawsuit on behalf of the state.

Earlier this year, the Indiana General Assembly passed House Enrolled Act 1123, which gives the legislature the ability to call itself into a special session to review emergency orders. The bill was vetoed by Holcomb, a move that was overridden by legislators.

In April, Holcomb filed the law-

suit against Republican legislative leaders, arguing the Indiana Constitution gives him the sole power to call a special session.

Holcomb is being represented

by John Trimble, a former president of the Indianapolis Bar Association, instead of the attorney general.

Last month, Marion County Superior Court Judge Patrick Dietrick also rejected Rokita’s claim, saying the governor is able to hire outside counsel; he cited a state statute that was enacted prior to the creation of the attorney general’s office.

Rokita also argues the lawsuit should not be allowed to go forward because the Indiana General Assembly is still technically in session.

“The plain text of both the Indiana Constitution and state statute requires postponement of any lawsuit during a session so that lawmakers may focus their attention on the legislative process. Ignoring that protection sets a dangerous legal precedent, seemingly inconsistent with the rule of law,” Rokita said in a news release. “Unfortunately, the court did not give a reason for its decision, which was not unanimous. My office looks forward to debating the merits of the case.”

The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment saying key provisions of the law are unconstitutional and a permanent injunction to prevent them from being used.

Business Profile —

Modern Materials built on core family values

By GEORGETA SHOOK Sales Manager Modern Materials Although Modern Materials has been a part of the Rochester community for 42 years, it is not well known, or a business anyone might have thought could stand the test of time. Throughout years of overcoming, this small hometown business has become a silent leader in an industry few of us know much about.

Located just north of the airport on SR 25, Brian Goodman,

ZOTW — The first Zebra of the Week for the 2021-22 school year is Peyton Hiatt. He was nominated by two teachers for different reasons. “I nominate Peyton Hiatt for going above and beyond at his internship,” noted Jennifer Snyder.

“Peyton interns at RMS and is helping students even on days when he is unable to meet with them!” Valerie Hoover nominated Peyton for “helping his peers get registered for classes at IU.” Photo provided

by Rochester High School.

president and CEO of Modern Materials, has been quietly growing his family owned business since 2016, founded by his father in law Michael Horn in 1975.

Goodman, being the second generation to own and operate this growing business, is especially proud to be carrying on the legacy started years ago. When it comes to growth, they have almost doubled the hourly rate in recent years and currently are at a competitive starting wage.

They are also in the process of implementing a health benefits package as well. “We want our employees to flourish as part of this team and to grow with us!”

Goodman said.

Modern Materials offers a wide variety of pre treatments and organic finishes to several markets. They specialize in complicated masking and solutions to clean most any surface for coating ranging from conventional wet paint, powder to Teflon. These services have become quite popular in the heavy duty truck market. This includes bell housings, or carriers, high performance marine engine blocks and heads.

Goodman stated they have also became very creative and talented in the cast iron seasoning market. As new and old cast iron cookware returns to the market as a leader in the industry, Modern Materials is marching alongside. They can take an over the counter rusty or antique pan most would think ruined and completely restore it to a usable cookware finish. In the same amount of time, they also can season, pack

Culture is what sets Modern Materials apart from other employers in the area. You aren’t just an employee, but a team member there. They focus on core values and elevating their employees just as they do their products. There is no fear, no gossip, and we work towards honor, dependability and elevating one another. They are always readily available to assist one another as a team, said Goodman.

Currently, the team is working through another chapter of advancement and needs to add a second shift to increase man hours and production. As they continue to grow and add another shift, they want to maintain its four days a week, 10 hour day schedule but possibly change it to Monday – Thursday. This allows their team to have a three day weekend and that is a benefit.

Even though they continue to grow, they will continue to

take care of the city of Rochester as that is where they began.

Through Modern Materials’ over the counter program, you can have just about anything coated, painted, or seasoned. They have coated patio furniture, rims, motorcycle tanks, bars, and have seasoned multiple pans for individuals.

So, please feel free to contact them if you are interested in either a position with their company or have something they can coat or quote for you.

Ducks Unlimited conserving wetlands waterfowl

By ALISON HANDY Staff Writer Ducks Unlimited is the world’s leader in wetlands and waterfowl conservation. The mission of Ducks Unlimited is to conserve, restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America’s waterfowl; and Rochester is lucky enough to have its very own Ducks Unlimited Chapter.

The habitats benefit other wildlife and people as well. Conserving wetlands in the community provides habitat for a myriad of animals, insects as well a filtering runoff that ultimately ends up in the water table. Joining the Rochester Chapter of Ducks Unlimited is a chance to give back to the community as well as being part of an organization conserving wetlands all across North America.

Waterfowl conservation is facing important challenges as wetlands and other habitats are being degraded and destroyed. Ducks Unlimited has a vision to reverse this trend.

In 1937 during the Dust Bowl, when North America’s drought plagued waterfowl populations had plunged to unprecedented lows; a small group of sportsmen joined together to form an organization that became known as Ducks Unlimited.

They were determined to not sit idly by as the continent’s waterfowl dwindled beyond recovery. Their mission became habitat conservation.

Abiding by that single mission for Authorized Dealer

decades, Ducks Unlimited is now the world’s largest and most effective private waterfowl and wetlands conservation organization. Since 1937, this organization has conserved more than 15 million acres of valuable nesting, brood rearing, staging, migration and wintering habitat through North America. In Indiana they have conserved 30,257 acres of habitat and completed 588 projects. There are 1,200 volunteers and 16,000 members in Indiana.

Unfortunately, Ducks Unlimited cannot offset all the negative forces both natural and man made every year. Duck numbers would not be as high as they are today if Ducks Unlimited had not been investing in the habitats for the past 60 years. The need will continue for the future and community support is essential to habitat conservation. They are able to multilaterally deliver its work through a series of partnerships with private individuals, landowners, agencies, scientific communities and other entities.

The Rochester Chapter is hosting its annual chapter dinner and fundraising event 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept.

18, at the Manitou Moose Lodge 1107, 1911 Westside Road, Rochester. Space is limited. Tickets are $40 for single ticket; includes dinner, subscription to the Ducks Unlimited magazine and an annual Ducks Unlimited membership; $65 for couples ticket; includes two dinners, subscription to the Ducks Unlimited magazine and an annual Ducks Unlimited membership; $25 for youth ticket 17 and under; includes dinner and an annual Ducks Unlimited Greenwing membership.

You may choose a sponsorship starting at $300 which includes two dinners, recognition at the event, choice of sponsor decoy, print, sign, and an annual Ducks Unlimited bronze sponsorship. For move information regarding the event, contact Dave Horvath at (574) 952-1876.
