Archway Days Best Attended In Years: A Special Thank You

Submitted by Myra Baldwin

Thanks From Historic Centerville

Our Quilt and Needlework Show during Archway Days was the best attended in a long time and could not have been done without the support of many people.
A special thanks goes to all who brought their projects for us to display. We had more needlework this year than in the past and the quilts submitted were beautiful.
There were volunteers without whose help we could not have had such a great show. Thanks to Dorothy Brasier, Alberta Conner, Karen Jones, Ruth Bane, and Debbie Grimme (MainSource Bank) for volunteering their time to take tickets, supervise the flea market, and answer questions.
The Board from Historic Centerville who hung the quilts – Paul Elstro, Ruth Bane, Charlie Bane, and Charlie Weise worked very hard. These people put the quilts on the rods and spent the evening on ladders to make the quilts look as great as they did.
The flea market went very well. Many attendees found some great bargains there. A special thanks to all those who donated items to be sold.There were crafters in the side yard making the day more enjoyable for many.
Carolyn Lafever, Wayne County Historian, created several interesting displays in the Salisbury Court House. The antique quilts there added a special touch to the event.
We are looking forward to another great quilt show next year.

Gardens in Bloom

historic centerville garden tour

historic centerville garden tour

This will be the topic of conversation at one of the properties

Historic Centerville’s annual Garden & Home tour will be on Saturday, July 7, from 9 – 4 and Sunday, July 8, from 11 – 4. Tickets will be purchased at the Mansion House, 214 E Main Street, for $7 on the day of the tour. There are 5 properties for “tourists” to enjoy.

Clara G. Whitman-Parett of God’s Earth Pottery will have her work displayed for sale in the Mansion House. This would be a good opportunity to pick up a unique gift. She is a local potter who lives and works in the Centerville Community.

Isaac Baldwin will have his hand made wooden yard art on sale at one of the properties. He will be taking orders for the arbors he has on display. There will be a deposit at the time of purchase with the balance being due upon delivery. He will also have some cash & carry items such as trellises. He will also visit your property to measure for a custom arbor if desired.

We are pleased to have our first Ice Cream Social during the Tour from 1 – 5 each day of the Tour. There will be home-made pies, ice cream, and drinks available for attendees to enjoy. Pie/ice cream/drink will be $4.50. Pie alone will be $2.50; ice cream only will be $2.00, and drinks will be $1.00—all proceeds will go for the restoration and maintenance of the Mansion property and the Salisbury Court House.  “Tourists” will receive a free lemonade or iced tea with tour ticket and purchase of food.

Please join us for the Ice Cream Social whether you plan to go on the Garden/Home Tour or not. It will help fund the many projects going on at the Mansion House property.

If you would be willing to donate a home made pie or help serve during the Ice Cream Social let Ruth Bane (855-5450) or Myra Baldwin (977-5605) know.

Looking Back at Historic Centerville’s Garden & Home Tour

June 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment

This will be the topic of conversation at one of the properties

Submitted by:  Myra Baldwin
Historic Centerville

Historic Centerville’s third annual Garden Tour will be Saturday July 7, 9-4 and Sunday July 9, 11-4.   This year we have added an ice cream social for the tour attendees and the community from 1-5 each day at the Mansion House.   Tickets for the tour are $7.00. Ticket will be sold the day of the tours at the Mansion House in Centerville, 214 E. Main Street, Centerville, IN.

Ruth Bane and I are both members of Historic Centerville, Inc.  The Mansion House and the Salisbury log courthouse (Wayne County’s first courthouse) are in need of repairs and preservation.  We are always looking for ways to fund these projects.  I suggested a Garden Tour and Ruth was ready to try it, so off we went to look at gardens, talk to the owners and get our first tour arranged – 3 years ago.  There are so many people who were willing to help with this when we explained to them what the money would be used for.

Current projects for Historic Centerville are the Mansion House roof, a cost of about $8,000.  Preservation and repair of the log courthouse will be about $13,000. The Wayne County Foundation and others have contributed to the projects, but there is still a lot of money to be raised.

Carolyn Lafever, Wayne County Historian, stepped in to help us about a year ago. She has been instrumental in getting grants, preserving and cataloging the many historical items in the Mansion House and making the Mansion House more accessible to the community. We recently had 140 fourth graders come to tour the Mansion House to learn its history and the role it played in our community.

The Quilt Show during Archway Days is another fund raiser and the money goes toward funding the many repair and maintenance needs at the property.  There is now an office in the Mansion House, a lighted sign in the side yard and new arrangements for collections of various historical items.  Soon you will be able to tell when the Mansion House and Log Courthouse are open by the “OPEN” flag at the front door.

This year we have added an ice cream social to the tour. Along with the ice cream will be fruit-of-the-season, home baked pies and drinks.  The whole package of pie, ice cream and drink will be $4.50.  If a tour ticket is purchased, a free drink of lemonade or iced tea comes with the food purchase.  Food will be served in the Mansion House and seating will be in the dining room or on the porch. The community is invited to the Ice Cream Social whether or not they tour the gardens.

Special thanks go to all who have worked so hard to get their properties ready for this year’s tour.  Centerville is a wonderful community with people who will devote time and effort to promoting Centerville’s history and the significance of the Mansion House and the Salisbury log courthouse.  We welcome new members to Historic Centerville and appreciate the support we have received.

Hike Yourself Healthy 2012 is Almost Here!

May 23, 2012 by Leave a Comment
HYH logo

PRESS RELEASE
Submitted by: Cope Environmental Center, Centerville, IN 

Hike Yourself Healthy 2012 is right around the corner! Our goal with this program is to get people OUTSIDE and appreciating the environment while developing a healthy habit.  A few quick details: This year, in honor of CEC’s 20th anniversary, we are challenging the community to walk 20,000 miles! Walk, run or hike ANYWHERE outdoors this summer, then log your miles online at HikeYourselfHealthy.org. It’s simple!

Program runs Memorial Day-Labor Day 2012

The website is up and running (www.HikeYourselfHealthy.org) and ready for you to visit. Remember, however, that you will not be able to log miles until Memorial Day (unless you participated in Relay for Life- you can count that time!).

City Fit, a city-wide health extravaganza on June 11th at Glen Miller Park, will be another great time to get some early Hike Yourself Healthy minutes in! Stop by the CEC booth while you’re there to sign up or just say hello!

If you are participating as a group (business or otherwise), and you would like to have a meter on the Hike Yourself Healthy website, just let us know! It’s a great way for your group to see that they are making progress. Remember, the top business or group (highest average minutes) gets prizes, too!

Prizes this year include: massages from Therapeutic Solutions, CEC gear, a pool party, local gift certificates, energy efficient light bulbs, meals from great Richmond restaurants and more! Remember, you don’t have to WIN the whole thing to get prizes! We draw names weekly from the pool of active
participants and hand out door prizes often!

If you set a goal, we can help hold you to it! Simply include your summer-long goal when you sign up and we’ll try to keep you motivated along the way. Remember, set goals for quality time spent outdoors with your kids or other children in your life. We’ll help you with that one, too.

So how do you sign up? Once Memorial Day is here, log your first minutes at www.HikeYourselfHealthy.org. It’s that easy!

Want to support this program and other educational efforts at CEC? Become a partner! Your gift of $100+ will get your name out to hundreds of local health-enthusiasts and support environmental education at the same time. We have great benefits for our supporters, so email Alison at a.clark@copeenvironmental.org if you’re interested in learning more.
