Shipshewana Town News
If September 23 marked the start
of autumn, then October marks the
start of the leaf raking season. Your
cooperation with the street department’s leaf pickup program of raking
your leaves to the curb is appreciated.
Please do not mix tree limbs, garden
waste or trash with your leaves, as
those materials can damage the leaf
vacuum equipment. The leaves end
up at the Town compost area near the
wastewater treatment plant. Early next
spring the Northeastern Indiana Solid
Waste District will bring a tub grinder
to Shipshewana and grind the leaves.
The end product is a very good compost/mulch that is available for free
to residents that live in town. Also,
thank you in advance for not burning
your leaves. Leaf smoke is very bad for
children with asthma and adults with
respiratory problems.
Halloween hours have been set.
Trick or treating will be Monday,
October 31 from 5:00 to 7:00. Please
have your children wear costumes that
do not interfere with their vision and
remind them about safe practices to
cross streets.
The annual Fall Crafter’s Festival
is set to start at 9:00 am to 6:00 p.m.,
September 29th and run through
Saturday, October 1st. The event is
planned for families and individuals
looking for something truly unique
and different from normal weekend
routines. All types of demonstrations
and entertainment will be provided.
There will be events for all ages and
tastes. Please plan to attend with your
family and friends.
The Shipshewana Police Department is currently working with Dave
Mallinak of C&C Law Enforcement in
by Sheryl Kelly
creating a police calendar for the Shipshewana Community. The calendar will
give businesses the opportunity to purchase advertisements that will be seen
throughout the town and potentially
the county. Proceeds from this calendar will go towards the Shipshewana
Chaplain Program, RAD Kids Program,
and the Jack Russell Police Dog Program. This will be a great opportunity
for all involved to support programs
that give back to the community and
have the opportunity to get the name
of their businesses out to the public.
If you have an opportunity, please
do take some time to enjoy the new
Pumpkinvine Trail between Shipshewana and Middlebury this fall, too.
There are many mature trees located
along the path and the colors should be
spectacular.
