Highlight of the month for members of the Enchanted Hills Playhouse Theatre Guild came last Saturday night when Miss Enchanted Hills Playhouse, Ann Porter, was crowned the 1978 Queen of Lakes at the Mermaid Festival. Members say that her new title was the culmination of the efforts of Miss Porter and the Guild’s committee who, for two months, worked diligently interviewing candidates, then selecting and entering Miss Porter. The committee also designed and built the float she rode on in the Mermaid Festival Parade. Led by Barbe Grumme, Janet Hays and Penny Heckaman, the committee designed the float around Miss Porter’s majorette position at Purdue University. Joanne Ganns painted the football stadium background and many others contributed their help in the final hours before the parade began. The new Queen's mother, Marian Porter, is a new member of the Theatre Guild and modeled in the spring style show. She helped Ann select her wardrobe and sewed some of the clothes she wore in the pageant. Ann’s father is Carlos Porter. June was a busy month in other

Commodore Larry Griffith loves Lake Wawasee area
By LESLIE WHITMAN Named as commodore of this year’s Lake Wawasee Flotilla is Larry Griffith, of Griffith’s Wawasee Marina. The 59-year-old lake lover says, “I felt it was quite an honor to be asked to participate in that capacity.” Griffith, who has lived on Lake Wawasee since April of 1946, is one of many in the area who remember the Flotilla when it first began in 1961. He was involved in the very first Flotilla.as a part of the Flotilla committee. He also rode in the flag boat, the lead boat for the first eight to nine years. The early Flotilla was called the Pontoon Parade and was made up of all pontoons. Griffith remembers the boats weren’t decorated so much as they are now. Even though not as decorative, the parade was extremely popular then, he says. Over 100 boats participated in the first few parades. The name was later changed to the Flotilla and more different types of boats were let in. Unfortunately, the number of boats entered also changed. Griffith says, “It started dwindling down. It never has really gotten too big since.”

He, himself, had to drop out. He says, “I haven’t been involved with it for some time because I’ve been too busy with the marina.” He still feels the parade is important to the area, “I’m a firm believer there has to be certain things go on in the community to get interest up,” he commented. “This community has its own natural interest. The Flotilla is like frosting on the cake.” Griffith became associated with Lake Wawasee after moving to the area from Fort Wayne in 1946. He and a friend operated a cottage maintenance business until he learned the Ross Boat Livery was for sale. Griffith bought the marina and changed the name to Wawasee Marina. The marina has stayed in the Griffith family for over 30 years, just recently turned it over to sons Terry and Dan. Also helping out in the business are Griffith’s wife, Rosie, and daughters, Mary Lisa and Andrea. Father Griffith says, “We’ve been a close family.” The commodore still maintains an active interest in the running of the marina, even though now semi-retired. His other interests include golf and snowmobiling.

Secret is simplicity
By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN Extension Agent, Home Ec. The upcoming week end will find many families taking their meals to the out-of-doors. Outdoor meals are fun for everyone whether they are in the backyard or at a campsite. Some planning is required regardless of where the meal is prepared and served. The secret to an enjoyable outdoor meal is simplicity as well as flexibility. Complicated recipes should be avoided. Meals should be simple and look good but at the same time supply important nutrients.

Plan your meals by selecting foods from the basic four food groups. Be sure to include nutritious snacks as well as include extra servings to accomodate those outdoor appetites. Outdoor meals and the hot weather can create food problems. It is most important to handle perishable foods with care to guard against the growth of harmful bacteria. A good rule to remember is, keep foods to be served hot, hot and foods to be served cold, cold. By keeping foods hot or cold the growth of bacteria that can cause foodborne illness will be slow’ed down. This is especially important for salads that contain salad dressing or mayonnaise. If possible, prepare the ingredients ahead of time and put the salad together at the picnic site. If you must carry pre-mixed salads, keep them in the refrigerator until time to leave. Then carry it in a cooler. Careful planning will make your out door meals a success. Plan for nutritious meals. Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold utilizing equipment such as ice chests, insulated and vacuum containers, or thermal bags. Take care with foods to prevent them from spoiling and causing illness.
