Hagerstown Needs Your Votes!

May 20, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Image via Wikipedia

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the first running of the 500-mile race in 1911. The IMS developed a contest for communities to show their spirit for this celebration. Communities, cities and towns in Indiana were given the opportunity to enter the “Back Home Again In Indiana” decorating contest. Twenty-six communities entered and ten finalists were announced last week. The winner will be given $25,000 for their community.

Hagerstown, Indiana was one of the top ten communities selected. Their entry into the contest can be found on a new website, www.indy500hagerstown.com.

The judging criteria will be based on the internet media and the town’s decoration for the 500-mile race. Both celebrity judges and the public will determine the winner.

Anyone can vote for the town to win. Each day a vote can be placed on the Back Home Again in Indiana website of the Indiana Motor Speedway. One vote per day from each email will be accepted. Voting ends on May 25 when the winner is announced.

Hagerstown was represented at the first race in 1911 by members of the Teetor family, owners of the Light Inspection Car Co. By 1926, after having changed its name a few times, became Perfect Circle Corporation. The Hagertown band, sponsored by the Light Inspection Car Co. played at the first race and for many years after. Perfect Circle sponsored cars in 1927 but had no winner. That was the last of the car sponsorships for them but began providing race drivers with Perfect Circle piston rings. Many winners through the years have used PC rings and other products in their cars.

Many people have connections to Perfect Circle, Hagerstown and Central Indiana. Hagerstown’s interest and participation with the Indy 500 will surprise and entertain as you read the history and timeline and look at the pictures on the website. The people of Hagerstown ask that you support their entry into the contest by voting for them as often as you can.

Hagerstown Indiana And The Indy 500 Connection- Celebrating 100 Years Of Racing

May 5, 2011 By KPass Leave a Comment

Perfect Circle Car 1926 Indy 500

See events listed below to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Indy 500 in Hagerstown Indiana

By Carolyn Lafever

The Indianapolis Speedway ran its first 500-mile race in 1911. Folks from Hagerstown, including the Teetor family, attended the inaugural race and brought their Light Inspection Car Co. band to perform. In 1926, the company name was changed to the Perfect Circle Corporation. PC was to become the largest manufacturers of piston rings in the world with a long association with the Indy 500.

From 1922 to 1941, PC made rings for racecars, sponsored three cars, sent their band each year and gave prizes to race drivers. Support for the race continued to grow with Hagerstown and Perfect Circle.

The race stopped from 1941-45 because of WW II. In 1946 Ralph Teetor, a brilliant engineer who lost his sight at five years of age, became President of PC and encouraged the track owners to start the race again. Perfect Circle contracted with Mutual Broadcasting to sponsor the first coast-to-coast radio broadcast of the race from 1946 to 1951.

Hagerstown Museum & Arts Place Celebrating The History of Indy 500

Perfect Circle grew and many Hagerstown people worked for them. PC established an office at the Speedway and engineers spent the month of May assisting race drivers. Piston rings and other products were made especially for the race cars. It benefited both the company and the racers to observe the stress on the mechanical parts.

They made movies of the races to be shown at the “Doctor of Motors” clinics

Perfect Circle purchased a block of race tickets each year as well as sponsoring race parties for their jobbers. They made movies of the races to be shown at the “Doctor of Motors” clinics. Hagerstown was enthusiastic about supporting the race and sending fans.

In 1963, Perfect Circle was sold to Dana Corporation. Gradually participation in the race declined, but Hagerstown’s enthusiasm did not. In 2011, Hagerstown will celebrate the 100^th anniversary with events commemorating their long history with the Indy 500.

Saturday, May 7

1- 5 pm. Viewing and judging of Merchants window decorations

Schools Close For a Third Day In Wayne County…As Ice And Snow Leave a Mess

February 2, 2011 By KPass Leave a Comment

As of 9:00 p.m. tonight just about every school in Wayne County had announced they were closing tomorrow.

Western Wayne Schools and Centerville Abington were two of the first, followed closely by Nettlecreek schools in Hagerstown and Richmond Community Schools (who listed their closings on the website). Galileo Charter school and Richmond Friends School also listed closings.

After two days of ice, a snowy/ice mix and power outages all over rural Wayne County, some may be a bit tired of the winter wonderland. And though I don’t like driving in this mess…I do still love the beauty of a snowy day. The video below was taken today as the snow fell in our yard. Be careful out there, drive safely and stay warm.

A Peaceful Presence: The Amish In Wayne County

July 10, 2010 By KPass Leave a Comment

On a road trip through Wayne County collecting pictures and information for the first print edition of GoWayneCounty, I was reminded of the peaceful and picturesque presence of the Amish community.

Northern Wayne County is home to a newer Amish settlement. The Amish are usually settled in areas of the country such as Pennsylvania and Ohio. Their ancestors came to America from Germany and we are pleased to have such an industrious people in our community.

Amish are a simple people who live mostly off the land as farmers but also produce beautiful furniture and other handcrafted items.

Amish Cheese Shop Deli and Bakery

One reminder of their presence is the Amish Cheese Shop that we passed on our way to Hagerstown. A bright yellow and cheery building, it houses my daughter’s favorite form of sustenance, and has been in business on State Rd 1 since 1983. So on our way back to Centerville we stocked up on our cheese needs as well as some jelly and pastry.

As we approached the cheese shop we passed a black buggy pulling a young Amish man. Though I was tempted to take a picture I remembered that predominantly the Amish do not like their pictures taken. (Plus I was driving which did not seem a wise time to take a picture).

We have great respect for the hard work of living a “simple” life

In our family we have secretly and at times openly envied the simple lives of the Amish people. We have great respect for the hard work of living a “simple” life which includes dawn to dusk labor—a workload that is beyond most of our energy levels.

Yet the idea of no phones, cell phones, television, Ipods, Facebook, answering machines, etc sometimes seems like a good one as we all become more attached to the genres of interfacing.

In addition, if you have not eaten an angel food cake made in an Amish kitchen—you have not yet lived. We welcome the quiet presence of the Amish community here in Wayne County and the abilities and tasty foods they share with all of us.

A recent video which was intended to be a comical and ironic piece about young Amish men on roller blades may have not been taken lightly by some as it was intended.

We at GoWayneCounty.com who are comprised of family and members of this county have nothing but respect and, as I mentioned, a bit of envy for the Amish community. In our own ways we share a love for the earth and bounty it produces as do the Amish.

We attempt gardening and producing foods for our own tables each summer. Admittedly we are not experts, but we love watching things grow. Maybe that is why we are so dedicated to GoWayneCounty.com—we want to be a tool for Wayne County so it can grow and prosper. We want to be around for the harvest time.
