KENDALLVILLE The annual

Windmill Winter Wonderland will be Dec.

2-4 and 9-11 at the Mid-America Windmill

Museum, 732 S. Allen Chapel Rd.,

Kendallville.

Entry fee is $3 and children under 12

are free.

New this year, for one night only, will

be the Music Makers from South Side and

Wayne Center elementary schools singingChristmas carols. They will perform on

Dec. 9 from 6:30-7 p.m.

Another popular event returning this

year is the Live Nativity, presented by the

Independent Full Gospel Church, on Dec.

3 and 10.

The attraction will be open from 5:30-

8:30 p.m. each night.

For five weekends leading up to Dec. 2,

more than 20 volunteers set up thousands

of colored lights on the sites windmillsand install thousands more in animated

light displays. New displays have been

added this year, and the arrangement

changes each year so visitors get a new

experience each time they come to the site,

said Pam Younce, who coordinates the

event.

Our volunteers work very hard to

create a thing of beauty and fascination,

she said.

Younce draws a map each year showing

locations for the lighted displays.

It looks complicated but we work it

out, and when its first turned on its

great, she said.

Popular animated displays returning

include an elf climbing a ladder to the roof

of a building, Santa Claus and an elf on a

teeter-totter, trains with rotating wheels, an

elf climbing a Christmas tree, Santa Claus

on a motorcycle waving his arms with apuff of smoke exiting the exhaust and an

elf shooting a gift from a cannon to an elf

catching it to put in a bag.

Younce has a new idea for the sites

entrance that will get visitors in the

holiday spirit before they park and walk to

the displays.

Santa Claus will be in Baker Hall

handing out goodie bags to children and

posing for photographs. Food and

beverages will be available.

Visitors can park in the parking lot and

walk the lighted pathways to observe the

many displays and antique windmills

while listening to holiday music. More

than 600 candle luminaries are lit along

the pathways. The illuminated gold star

atop a 100-foot windmill tower visible at

night from the Allen Chapel Road bridgewill indicate the holiday season.

The event is a major fundraiser for the

museum to maintain and add to its collec-

tion of windmills. The Mid-America

Windmill Museum has the largest collec-

tion of restored windmills on public

display east of the Mississippi River.

New attractions planned forWindmill Winter Wonderland

Lights illuminate the grounds at the Mid-America Windmill Museum for the annual Windmill Winter Wonderland on AllenChapel Road near Kendallville last year.

SHIPSHEWANA If were going to

have cold and snow, lets have some fun

with it.

That was the attitude that prompted the

creation of the Shipshewana Ice Festival,

according to the person in charge of the

event, Levi King.

King owns four businesses in Shipshe-wana. He said it seemed like there was

nothing to do in town after Christmas, so he

started looking to create an event.

That event began three years ago and has

grown each year.

We started out with an ice-carving day,

King said. There were 5,000 pounds of ice

made into 30 carvings in a single day.

The second year the festival added its

other signature elements, a chili cookoff

and snowmobile races, King said. Itsevolved into a three-day event, since it just

cant all be done and taken in during one or

two days.

This years festival runs Dec. 28-30,

King said. The ice carving runs the first two

days the event, with the chili cookoff and

the snowmobile races wrapping things up

on day three.

Carvers from the Michiana Ice Carvers

Association will carve in front of downtown

businesses for 10 hours starting at 10 a.m.

on Dec. 28, King said. Many businesses

will remain open until 8 p.m. that day.

The associations members are all

largely in the same profession, King said.

These guys are chefs, he said.

Describing carving as their recreation, he

added, This is their golf game.

Dec. 28 also will be the date for the Ice

Princess pageant on the stage in the Davis

Mercantile Buildings theater, King said.

The contest for high school-age girls in

LaGrange County will include evening

gowns and winter wear.

The carvers will compete against each

other with special larger blocks of ice Dec.

29, King said. There will be cash prizes of

$600 for first place, $400 for second and

$200 for third. The carving time only will

run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day.

The same chef has won the contest the

last three years, King said. The others will

present a challenge, however.

They keep upping it a notch, King

said.

The ice sculptures frequently include a

variety of fun items displayed within, such

as fruit, King said. Last year, someone

carved a soda bottle filled with literally ice-

cold soda people could drink from a tube in

the bottles bottom.

The nativity scene is a perennial favorite

sculpture, King said.

On Dec. 30, the action moves to

Hostetlers Hudson Auto Museum at 780 S.

Van Buren St., where the chili cookoff and


Hot on

the ice

The ice sculpture nativity scene, seen here in a previous year,is a perennial favorite at the Shipshewana Ice Festival, said

festival organizer Levi King. This years festival runs Dec. 28-30.

snowmobile races will take place, King

said.

Ten restaurants and individuals have

entered the cookoff, King said.

The snowmobiles will compete in grassdrag races, King said. The track is 500 feet

long with an additional 600 feet of

shutdown space. It will be on snow if snow

piles up, he said. There are fees to enter the

race.

Admission to the races and cookoff will

be free with the purchase of a Shipshewana

Ice Festival pin, which costs $15 and is

being sold in area stores, King said.

Otherwise, admission is $10 per person or

$30 for a family pass.

The pins are new this year, King said.They were designed by Chris Yoder.

AUBURN The Christmas season in

Auburn will officially begin with the

Downtown Auburn Christmas ParadeTuesday night, Nov. 22.

Floats, walking groups, horse-drawn

wagons, cars, choirs, bands and other

groups will gather at the DeKalb County

Fairgrounds and, beginning at 7 p.m.,

follow a parade route to downtown

Auburn, ending at Courtyard Park.

Entries are judged in categories of

decorated cars, floats or walking group and

are scored based on creativity, theme,

enthusiasm and overall presentation. Cashprizes are awarded to first-, second- and

third-place winners in each category.

The lighting of the Frosty the

Snowman display in Courtyard Park will

take place after the parade.

The parade dates back to the 1940s and

traditionally took place on the Friday

morning after Thanksgiving. It was

designed to bring Santa downtown to his

chalet on the DeKalb County Courthouse

square, but never really had much partici-pation. The parade moved to a Tuesday-

night event in 2003 and has continued to

grow in popularity ever since.

Last years parade attracted 42 entries,

up from the previous years record of 35

entries.

The event is sponsored by the

Downtown Auburn Business Association.

Youngsters will have the chance to meet

with Santa in his chalet in Courtyard Park

beginning Nov. 26, with dates continuing

through the holiday season.

Holiday festivities will continue in

Auburn with the Auburn Parks and

Recreation Department 20th Annual

Christmas Walk at Eckhart Park. The

Christmas tradition features holiday lights,

scenes and music. Santa and Mrs. Claus

will greet visitors in the park pavilion.

Walk dates are Dec. 9, 10, 11, 16, 17

and 18 from 6-8 p.m.

Admission is $2 per person, or $1 per

person with a nonperishable food

donation.

BY THEASSOCIATED PRESS

For Daniel Gasteiger, the holiday season

begins in May when the rhubarb and

strawberries ripen. Thats when he starts

putting foods by for the many people onhis gift list.

The process continues with cherries,

tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers, apples,

melons and a variety of successive garden

crops.

If you dont deal with them when

theyre fresh, youre not preserving them,

said Gasteiger, author of Yes, You Can!

And Freeze and Dry It, Too. Then they

can sit on a shelf until wrapped as presents

for neighbors, teachers and others.Hear the word preserving and people

generally think canning or freezing, said

Gasteiger, of Lewisburg, Pa. But there also

is dehydrating, sugaring, fermenting, quick

pickling, smoking, salting and cold storage.

The way we go about it hasnt changed

much over the years, but the technology is

better, he said.

All food preservation techniques delay

or stop spoilage while sealing in flavor and

nutritional value. Yet each does something

different. In some cases, new foods are

even created raisins from dried grapes,for example.

Here is a sampling of the most common

methods and how they compare:

CANNINGpreserves fruits and vegeta-

bles, jams and jellies, pickles, relishes and

meats so they can be stored for months

without refrigeration. Canning cooks food,

however, changing its makeup and flavor.

FREEZINGleaves you with fresher flavors

but transforms textures. Produce tends to

become mushy, Gasteiger said.DEHYDRATINGgives fresh foods remark-

able longevity, with vegetables rehydrating

especially well for cooking. Having a

dedicated dehydrator can reduce the

amount of produce you waste, he said.

Think bananas, or those fruit and vegetable

remnants that ripen so quickly in the

kitchen.

FERMENTINGor submerging vegetables

in saltwater brine produces lactic acid,

which is a food preservative. But: Vegeta-

bles soften and develop a tangy flavor that

some people dont care for, Gasteigersaid.

COLD STORAGERoot crops, including

potatoes, carrots, yams, beets and turnips,

have tremendous staying power under the

right conditions. They will remain fresh

for months in a dark, dry environment.

Potatoes prefer a place maintained at

around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Carrots,

beets, rutabagas and cabbage keep longest

when cooled to 34 degrees, Gasteiger said.

You dont need a garden if you want toput up fresh, flavorful foods year around.

Shop the sales. Seek out farmers markets

and roadside stands. Buy in bulk.

Patronize U-Pick operations and orchards.

Picking your own makes for great

family outings, and prices generally are

about a third of what theyd be if someone

did it for you, Gasteiger said.

Interest in home canning products has

risen 35 percent over the past three years,

said Lauren Devine-Hager, a product

research and test-kitchen analyst with

Jarden Home Brands, which manufacturesthe classic Ball home canning Mason jars.

The face of canning is changing, she

said. Its not driven by grandmothers in

rural settings anymore. Its becoming

especially popular among women 27 to 45

in urban and suburban areas. They want to

enjoy it all year long.

Few crafts offer as much payback as

food preservation. It saves money, encour-

ages creativity and puts a quality product

on the family table, Gasteiger said. Smallbatches of preserves done up in decorative

jars and wrapped in ribbons make tasteful

and inexpensive holiday gifts.

Theres also an ecological

component, Gasteiger said. Im

gradually replacing my lawn with edibles.

LAKE JAMES To many familiesfrom across the country, particularly the

Midwest, Potawatomi Inn is their home

away from home for the holidays.

Potawatomi Inn and Christmas

traditions are as linked as Santa and Mrs.

Claus, the manger and the Christmas star,

frankincense and myrrh, eggnog, quipped

Fred Wooley, interpretative naturalist at

Pokogon State Park, where Potawatomi

Inn is located.

Seriously, Ive been through 31 Christ-

mastimes at Potawatomi and I am always

taken aback at the deep traditions for so

many. It starts the Friday before the week

of Christmas and continues through the

Monday following New Years, Wooley

said. There is constant traffic at the circle

drive and parties arrive and depart, many

making it an annual trek to meet loved

ones and share the holidays.

The sights each Christmas season arevery familiar: people with stacks of

suitcases on luggage carts arriving at the

inn, wrapped presents included and

Santa!

To the delight of the very young and

older, Santa makes regular appearances at

the Inn each Sunday in December leading

up to Christmas, said Barry Barenfanger,

Potawatomi Inn general manager.

We typically do the Sundays in

December, during the brunch,

Barenfanger said. Santa is usually on hand

from about 10 am. to 1 p.m. in the

Lonidaw Lounge, which is the area near

the entrance to the main dining room.

On Christmas Eve theres no special

event planned, but it is an event all on its

own, with the Inn filled to capacity.

We have a lot of families in house.

They celebrate throughout the Inn, opening

presents. You hear the reading of theChristmas story from the Bible, the birth

of Christ. Its a special time, Barenfanger

said.

The majority of the Inns Christmas

visitors are repeat families who have made

this a tradition for years. In fact,

Potawatomi is always booked up 2 years in

advance for the holiday.

Its pretty much just families, theres

reunions, that makes up the majority of

what we have during that time. Theyve

been here for years and years.

Barenfanger said Potawatomi Inn

research shows that about 80 percent of

the people who stay at the Inn are repeat

customers.

Were fortunate to have the resort, and

there are people who return year after

year, said June Julien, executive director

of the Steuben County Tourism Bureau. I

actually met a couple who stayed therewhen they got married in the 1930s and

they returned year after year until 2006.

Julien said Potawatomi Inn has such a

family focus that it lends to people

wanting to return on an annual basis.

We have a great facility that enables us

to present family memories, Julien said.

The holiday season kicks in today at

Powatomi Inn. For Thanksgiving dinner,

Potawatomi Inn will serve more than 1,000

guests. As of three weeks ago, Baranfanger

said 700 people had already made reserva-

tions for dinner.

After Thanksgiving, things get going in

high gear for Christmas.

It actually starts much earlier in

December as the Inn really decorates for

Christmas stays at Potawatomi Inn a tradition for many

A guest at PotawatomiInn takes a photo ofher son as he talks

with Santa about whathe wants for

Christmas during the2010 holiday season.

Santa arrives everySunday leading up to

Christmas, visiting

with children of allages in the Lonidaw

Lounge at PotawatomiInn, Pokagon State

Park, Lake James.Potawatomi Inn is

quite the busy placeover the holidays as

families make the parkand Inn a family

gathering spot. Likethe story of the birth of

Christ, there will notbe an empty room at

the Inn comeChristmas as

Potawatomi Inn istypically booked 2

years in advance forthe holiday.

the holidays. They have a couple dozen

trees of various themes, Wooley said.

Jennie Hiatt in the activities department

and the housekeeping staff do a great job

in decorating. They also have many table

top, thematic decorations. A long standing

winter tradition is the toboggan set up in

the main hallway with a backdrop to

provide family and friends photo-ops.

The warmth of the Lonidaw Lounge is

also an attraction, with its stone

adornments, exposed beams and rustic,

north woods lodge decor.

Oh, the Lonidaw Lounge, Wooley

said. Every night during the holiday

season, all winter actually, it is like one

huge family room. Families gather there to

exchange gifts, play cards, board games,

sit around the real wood burning fireplace,

laugh, and have great fun. I always enjoy

passing through the lounge and seeing,

hearing, feeling the fun and love.

Other highlights include the craft room

and the pool at the Inn.

And then there are the 1,260 acres of

park with tobogganing, sledding, skiing

and those other winter activities, but you

know those, Wooley said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Just over half

of American pet owners will buy gifts for

their pets this holiday season, and theyll

spend an average of $46 on their animals,

with toys and treats topping the list,

according to a new AP-Petside.com poll.

Sixty-eight percent of pets getting giftscan look forward to a toy, 45 percent to

food or another treat, 8 percent new

bedding, 6 percent clothing, 3 percent a

leash, collar or harness and 3 percent new

grooming products, the poll showed. (Some

pets will get more than one gift.)

Christmas is about the pets, said Gayla

McCarthy, 58, of Kekaha, Hawaii, whose

Australian shepherd, Echo, will find a toy

under the tree. McCarthy even got a shirt

for her husband as a gift to him from the

dog, and shell be giving collapsible bowls

that she ordered online to all their friends

dogs.

Although the average budget for pet gifts

among those surveyed was $46, 72 percent

of those polled said theyd spend $30 or

less. Those who bought gifts for their pets

last year said they spent $41 on average.

Overall, 51 percent of those polled this

year said they would buy holiday gifts for

their pets, a figure thats been relatively

stable in the last few AP-Petside.com polls.

It was 53 percent last year, 52 percent in

2009 and 43 percent in 2008.Income does matter. Those making

$50,000 or more say they plan to spend an

average $57 on their pets. Those making

under $50,000 say it will be $29.

Younger pet owners are more apt to say

theyll buy their pet a holiday gift,

including 56 percent of pet owners under

age 50. Among those ages 50-64, its 47

percent, and among seniors, 39 percent, the

poll showed.

Lauren Beard, 22, of Felton, Pa., and her

family lavished their dog Groovy with gifts

last year including treats and bones

because it was the chocolate labs first

Christmas. We still love her but its a little

less exciting this year, Beard said. So she

reduced her budget of $70 last year to $50,

and hopes to get some things on sale. Shell

also buy a gift for Groovys best friend and

neighbor, a golden retriever named Tessie,

Beard said.

Ronda Singleton and her husband live in

Elk, Wash., and raise and show standard

poodles. But they dont plan to get gifts for

their dogs or for each other. If we needsomething, we go get it, she explained,

adding that the dogs get treats all the time.

She and her husband like to celebrate

holidays with traditional dinners and church

services.

Thomas Koch, 69, in Raleigh, N.C., has

something special to celebrate this year

adoption of his adult son should be

finalized, he said.

The two will spend the holidays with

their dog, Jessie, a Sheltie-chow mix, and

two cats, Tanz and Callie.

Last year, Jessie got toys and the cats got

play mice and a large bag of catnip. They

liked it so much we just threw it on the

carpet and let them roll in it, Koch said.

He covered the goodies last year for a

mere $8, but is setting aside $10 this year

just in case prices have gone up.

George Smith, 43, a father of three in

Adams County, Colo., says pets are part of

the family, just like our kids. But they keep

the holiday gifts for Miley, a golden

retriever, and Zippity, a cat, low-key: no

fancy wrapping or stockings, just $10 worthof toys and treats.

Steve Gottulas budget was $100 last

year and he figures it will run about the

same this year for his two dogs and seven

cats. Odie, a dachshund, and Sky, a

Dalmatian, will get special bones, and the

cats will get catnip and mouse balls.

Gottula, 48, his wife Leigh (shes the

one who brings home the strays) and five

kids (ages 6 to 16) live with the nine pets in

Spring, Texas.

His daughters have made stockings for

the pets with their initials and they

are always part of holiday celebrations,

Gottula said.

The cats like to play with the paper and

ribbon and get lost in the boxes and

wrappings, he said.

Pets in America get Merry Christmas too
