"Our musicians and bluegrass fans cover such a wide area of northern Indiana and southern Michigan; we get folks from all areas including Missouri, Maryland, Colorado, and Tennessee," said Tom. "Sure we have some fans from the area, maybe 20 to 30 from Wakarusa and Nappanee, but most of our people come from other areas. The community does give us great support, the Chamber of Commerce, and the businesses. It's very meaningful. And if they can't donate money they will give us some sort of merchandise for in-kind donations tike tickets for this or that, or to give away for drawings." Tom said the kind of music played during the festival was originally conceived in Scandinavian countries and after coming to America, was the first official version of country music. "People made their own instruments but primarily now they use banjos and guitars, ukuleles.... I tell everyone that bluegrass, you don't mow it," Tom said with a laugh. "We try to do a 50-50, good honest mix at the festival half gospel half secular. - Tom said the event in Wakarusa began as a result of local jams with the late Melvin Schrock, founder of Horizon Transportation. "His wife Ruth Ann is still very much involved," Tom explained. "And she and her son Marian are very huge contributors to the festival. They're carrying out his wishes."

and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federally funded program. Visit the website www. WakarusaßluegrassFestival. com or call 574-825-1874 for more information.

Superintendent Joe Sabo presented these students with awards certificates and gave them each an opportunity to speak before the board. All of them indicated that they will continue to pursue their career aspirations beyond their time at North Wood.

The Science team, led by Coach Justin Bell, consists of Logan Fuller, Maxwell Heckathom, Rosalie Keller, Ryan Kelly, Colton Klein, and Cally Miller. Members of the Interdisciplinary team, coached by Scott Whetstone, are Logan Fuller, Maxwell Heckathom, Rosalie Keller, and Theodore Stueve.
