Page 7 HARVEST DAY APPROACHES On Saturday, October 1, the Jesse Besser Museum will continue with it's 17 year tradition of celebrating Fall Harvest Day over the entire grounds Surrounding the museum. As explained by Dennis Bodem, Museum Director, the emphasis of Fall Harvest Day has in the past, and continues to be on plain and fancy craft demonstrations from the late 19th and 20th Centuries indigenous to this area. ith an impressive 25-30 different demonstrations offered free to the public, this day promises to be a veritable smorgasboard of interesting and unusual events. In past years attendance has varied from 2,000-5,000 visitors who have come to watch such unusual events as the making of stained glass and felt, the art of sheep shearing and a display on bee keeping. According to Mr. Bodem, theoretically, the approach to organizing this day has been on a 1/3 by 3 basis. That is with /3 of the demonstrations being brought back due to their popularity, /3 of them new and 1/3 in their final year of presentation. As stated by the director, "We recognize the necessity of new things to sustain visitor interest, particularly in a community where there is a limited number of people. Because we always look for new and appropriate craft demonstrations consequently we are able to keep the level of attendance high each year." Once again this day provides a chance for visitors to wander through the upper and lower Eo Po Pe Pg ort oe Ped Pe = i Green School galleries of the museum as well as take part in the activities located on the front porch, back porch and JBM's back forty, where the McKay Cabin, Maltz Exchange Bank and the restored Green School are located. In the past, members of the Delta Kappa Gamma teaching sorority have donned pioneer clothes and, in Green School, have offered 19th century lessons to rooms full of today's kids, in the process showing them the knowledge that yesterday's child possessed, Judy Vivian, the education co-ordinator, with help from the Founder's Society and local volunteers, has, and will surely again on Saturday, provide the public with a day filled with interesting surprises.
