BEV BIBLER of Waubee Lake has written an interesting article for Antique Week. The article is on page 7 of the August 31 issue. It features the new Borkholder Dutch Village flea market and auction. Mrs. Bibler talks about different people who are working with the market and auction and concludes with the fact that “Visitors to Nappanee will find two antique malls and four antique shops as well as Amish Acres, a tourist attraction that is designated as a historic farm." THE LABOR Day weekend is behind us and area residents did many things, including labor

around their homes, enjoying the last holiday of the year and working at their place of employment that others might benefit during the holiday. We know of at least one family who enjoyed the holiday to its fullest extent. Allen and Cheryl Brunjes and sons spent the weekend at the Hesston Steam Festival. Both boys were head over heels in coal soot most of the time as they helped with the several steam powered engines which were working at the festival. The Brunjes are members of the LaPorte County Historical Steam Society and spend several weekends each year at the museum grounds. The steam and power show, held each Labor Day weekend, featured steam plowing and threshing of grain. A 92-ton locomotive 'steam crane lifting logs for sawing at the mill and a 350-hp Allis-Chalmers Corliss

engine, with its impressive flywheel, generating steam to power an electric light plant. Steam train rides were also available on the society’s three gauges of trains.

Halloween Madness in Syracuse Oct. 29

JT By CARLA GAFF I Staff Writer All Syracuse merchants are being encouraged by the Retail Merchants Division of the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce to participate in this year’s Halloween Madness which will be held on Oct. 29 during regular store hours. The announcement was made during the board's regularly ' scheduled meeting on Friday, Sept. 4, at Aunt Verna’s Special discount coupons will be available for the one-day sale and will be handed out to Syracuse merchants’ employee’s as well as to employees of various industries in town. ,“I would suggest the coupons be good for only that specific weekend, possibly, Thursday, Friday and Saturday," commented board treasurer Jeanne Gardiner. She went on to explain, by making the coupons good for only those days, persons will be more likely to make it out during the big push. Although all the details are not yet available for the special Halloween Madness, the retail merchants have decided at this time to have a Halloween parade as they did last year. Chairman of last year’s event Mike Skevington stated, “It went really smooth." He said he would be glad to help with this year’s event which should be for children and adults once again. Bob Pilcher and Tim Kroh will chair this year’s parade. It will be an evening for anyone and everyone to dress up for Halloween, march in the parade and be judged for special prizes. Additionally, the retail merchants once again discussed chamber gift certificates. The certificates will be made available to all industries, businesses and merchants in the

area to be given to employees or friends “They're all occasion gift certificates,” explained Gardiner, ‘‘but they must be cashed through chamber members.” Wherever a certificate is taken to be cashed, that merchant will have a stamp so he can place the chamber logo on the certificate. Pie merchant will then deposit it in the bank like any other check. However, because the certificate must have a stamp on it from a local merchant, persons will not be able to take the certificate to the bank and receive cash The certificates may be given as a bonus or a Christmas gift and may be used at the dentist, NIPSCO or wherever the recipient chooses. In otheK business, retail merchants’ President Donna Conder reported that sidewalk days went well this year, “things went real nice a lot better than the last few years,” she stated. A discussion was held on the retail merchants’ budget from the chamber for the coming year.

in several states. She produced the design for the Indiana Wildlife Federation. While she occasionally works in oils, pastel and watercolor, most of her pictures are in pencil. "It’s a challenge to make a black and white picture come alive-to get the viewer to see the subject,” she said. “You’re working only with form and with degrees of light and shadow.” The Honeywell Center is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is open daily, except on major holidays, from 8 am. to 10:30p.m.
