Main Street —a community at work

If YOU helped in any way with the Milford Advanced Life Support Community Emergency Medical Services Bazaar this past week end give yourself a pat on the back... you deserve it! In a conversation with Jean Treesh Monday night we learned they took in around SIB,OOO with a profit of around $16,000 expected for the week end’s events. Not bad! And, speaking of Jean, if you can’t find her this week it’s not because she’s off on a well deserved vacation. She’s in Walton helping with her new grandson, Gabriel Mark, born to Mr. and Mrs. Mark Treesh on Monday morning. Thursday was a busy day for many area residents as a steady stream of people arrived at the Milford Junior High School gym with items for the week end’s event. Another group of people spent the morning in the gym arranging the items as they arrived. And, the young girls spent their morning opening doors for people who arrived with their arms full. Another group of youngsters spent several hours at the bazaar selling popcorn, carmel com and cotton candy. We don’t know how much they made on Saturday but they reported taking in around S3O on Friday. The whole community turned out in support of the event. We saw people there that we haven’t seen out in years, even former residents and people from other area towns turned out to lend their support. Mrs. Willard (Susan) Scheiler baked 116 loaves of her state fair prize winning bread for the bazaar. By 2 p.m. on Friday she was completely sold out. Everyone ate at the bazaar Friday noon. Looking at the long line, factory workers on. half hour lunch hours debated about it, knowing if they stayed they would be late in returning to work. Most, however, proceeded to get in line anyway with the comment they could be late this one time! Employeers who were in line too, nodded their approval and as more and more business places paused for the lunch hour the line grew longer and longer, extending into the gym. Many returned for additional meals at the school, women taking our advise from last week and not cooking! In case anyone is wondering. We ended up cooking two meals (Friday and Saturday night) but that’s all. We even managed to buy enough chicken so as to have some left over for Sunday evening. People were at the bazaar from 9 a.m. on Friday morning until after 8 that night. . . people continued to arrive at the gym on Friday night until about 7:45. The Kiwanis Club began serving pancakes and sausage at 6:45 a.m. and the line remained solid until 10 minutes til 10. A total of 555 persons were served. And, by the way, that man who furnished the music was Max Shively of Leesburg. A number of Kiwanis Club members from other communities were on hand to assure the success of the Milford Club’s project. Among those spotted were Past International President Loren J. Badskey of North Webster, Past Lieutenant Governor Dave Holderman of Goshen and Current Lieutenant Governor Sherman Bryant of North Webster. Also spotted during the breakfast was Milford Fire Chief Bill Leemon as he took coffee back to bazaar workers. All too soon the bazaar was over and it was time to set up for the auction. Members of the Milford Lions Club helped carry in auction items and then displayed them as auctioneers Ronn and Lee Beer sold the items. Among the items auctioned off were 100 gallons of gas, antique scales, straw, stuffed toys, bicycles, a lawn roller, used office equipment, an antique sewing machine, our bossman’s favorite chairs, a fishing motor, a 1972 Ford LTD and frozen ducks. Howard Beer purchased the cake made by Chuck Bird. The cake was in the shape of an ambulance. Beer paid S3O for the masterpiece. Quilts and comforts were favorites of the bidding audience. Robert Geller was top bidder in this category as he paid S3OO for the quilt made by members of the staff of the Milford Elementary School. The Easter bunny also took time out from its busy schedule to pay a visit to the auction. The bunny passed out candy to the youngsters. After the auction almost everyone pitched in to help with the clean-up. As we write this column people and calls keep coming in with more and more information about what was done and how it was done. One note came from Chore-Time Equipment where the employees took items for the bake sale to the plant and then held an in-plant bake sale, making almost $155 for the bazaar on this one project. Like other major businesses in Milford, Chore-Time had presented a SI,OOO donation to the EMS earlier this year. h Later about 60 persons gathered at Barth for the Lions Club’s square dance. Dr. A. G. Schaffer did the calling with some relief near the end of the evening from “Fritz” Ruch of Warsaw, another former resident who wanted to do his part. (Continued on page 18)
