I’m Sue, the North Webster-Tippecanoe Township Chamber of Commerce President, inviting you to enjoy all the hidden treasures our town has to offer. Celebrating the Indiana Bicentennial in 2016, North Webster will be the scene of several events endorsed especially for the state’s 200th birthday. Everyone is welcome to attend any or all of them. They include Dixie Day, July 30; North Webster Cemetery Walk, Sept. 11; the statewide Bicentennial Torch Relay, which will pass along SR 13 on the morning of Sept. 29; and the Heart of the Harvest Fall Festival, Sept. 30.

Enjoy shopping at the antique mall, or at our unique refurbished furniture and accessory stores. We have gift shops with nautical items, a large bait and tackle store, gun shop, and one of the largest hard to find shoe size stores anywhere. We have so many more specialty shops to enjoy. After shopping, try some of our great restaurants, or take an evening ride on our famous Dixie Sternwheeler Tour Boat. On behalf of the chamber, I extend a warm welcome to all our visitors, family, and friends who come to enjoy our beautiful community. Whether you are staying a day, a weekend or a week, we have so much to offer for your enjoyment such as the Memorial Day Parade and services, the Mermaid Festival, the fireworks on the lake, Dixie Day, Heart of the Harvest Fall Festival, NWCC Community Auction, and A Visit With Santa.

The company was founded by Harold and Helen Siders and her brother Lee Lorton. The Siders owned a summer cottage in Rodgers Park on the east side of Webster Lake. As most cottagers did, they used an ice box to keep their food cold. The ice was harvested from Webster Lake during the winter and stored in insulated ice houses around the lake until it was needed in the summer. Because it was frozen lake water, the ice contained bits of weeds, moss and other debris. However restaurants and taverns needed “clean” ice to serve in drinks, and since they didn’t have on site ice making machines like today, they had to buy “artificial” ice made commercially from clean water in refrigerated molds. The Siders owned an ice company in Kendallville, Indiana, and saw a need for one in North Webster. In 1937 they started the North Webster Artificial Ice Company. A giant one-cylinder gasoline engine ran 24 hours a day to power the compressors and pump water from wells. Even with a 12-foot tall muffler, the noisy engine could be heard all over town. After World War II, the Siders enlarged and modernized the plant with high capacity electrical service. When the couple retired, they sold the business to the Polar Ice Company which later became Home City Ice. Harold died in 1981 and Helen passed away in 1989. The couple is buried in their home town of Portland, Indiana. Source: “The North Webster Artificial Ice Company” by Robert E. Black Own the memories of “Our Town: North Webster” Armed with their own camcorders, citizens of North Webster created a video scrapbook of the stories that make their town special for WNIT Michiana PBS, South Bend. These videos, along with interviews of the volunteers, were combined to tell the stories that reflect the emotional ties of the people who live, love and are passionate about “Our Town: North Webster.” The video is a terrific snapshot of North Webster and its lakes during the summer of 2015 and is a memorable keepsake.

It is overseen by the Tri-County DNR office, near Syracuse. The most unique aspect of this scenic spot is it is accessible by a boardwalk, which is 1,500 feet long and 6 feet wide. It was built in 2003. Made of arsenic free treated wood, the boardwalk meanders over an unusual geological formation called an esker. It is a long, narrow ridge of sand, gravel and boulders deposited by streams flowing under the glacier that covered this part of the world. Clay pockets were formed and hold the marsh and lake. The word “pisgah” is derived from the Bible and means hill or ledge. Free admission and parking make this handicap accessible area available in all kinds of weather except snow. Hours are sunrise to sunset and there are restrooms provided. Visitors must stay on the boardwalk at all times to protect the wildlife habi- tat, which attracts more than 290 bird species and many types of animals and insects. Winter is the time to have a clearer view of the marsh than summer. Spring and fall are said to be equally spectacular. Take in this hidden gem next time you’re in the area. Turn east on East 500 North, better known as Armstrong Road. Follow its curves past the Ponderosa subdivision and turn left at the first road, East 450N. This goes to SR 5. Turn south. The marsh is on the east side of the road, not too far past the Noble County line. It would be fun to bike there from Webster, but the bikes cannot be ridden on the boardwalk. For more information, call (574) 834-4461 or search online for Pisgah Marsh IN DNR.

The library is participating in Indiana’s Bison-tennial Public Arts Project by sponsoring a 5 foot by 8 foot bison statue that will be painted and decorated by a local artist and put on display in anticipation of the Bicentennial Torch Relay. This commemorative torch will make its way through all 92 Hoosier counties, covering 2,300 miles, over a five week period, and will pass through North Webster on Sept. 29. In addition, the Youth Services Department will hold special bison crafts and games for children that week to coincide with the Torch Relay. The adults will enjoy their own bison activities that include a tour of an area bison farm complete with a picnic meal featuring bison meat. As a special honor, the Indiana Bicentennial Commission has endorsed the library’s 10th annual North Webster Cemetery Walk on Sept.11 as a Bicentennial Legacy Project. Sponsored by the library’s Local History and Genealogy Center, the annual Cemetery Walk is a living history event that celebrates local history and people from the past who helped build the heritage of our community. To qualify for endorsement, an event must be historically relevant and create a legacy for the future. By understanding the past, the library hopes to give thought to how the future is being shaped for coming generations. Take advantage of the many resources available at the North Webster Community Public Library. A North Webster library card is free to residents of Tippecanoe Township and, as part of the statewide Evergreen Library System, the North Webster card can be used at over 100 Evergreen libraries across the state.

This unique area is full of amazing water resources and rich farmland. The Foundation focuses on stopping pollution at its source (on the land) before it reaches our waters. An astounding seventy-five percent of the land in the watershed is agricultural, which is why TWF concentrates on working with farmers to implement solutions that are healthy for their productions, and our lakes. TWF also works to promote impactful residential choices including using phosphorus-free lawn fertilizer, maintaining septic systems, not feeding waterfowl, and installing healthy shorelines. The Foundation has completed over 95 permanent water-quality-improvement projects, established an agriculturally focused Healthy Soils, Clean Water program and co-developed the internationally recognized Clear Choices, Clean Water education campaign.

The theme is “Indiana Bicentennial, Celebrating Indiana.” To be held June 22-25, the Mermaid Festival is the cornerstone of the events and projects that the Lions Club participates in and supports throughout the year. The club views the Mermaid Festival as a place for the community to come and gather once a year to see friends and neighbors that they may not have seen since the last festival. Without the community’s support of the Mermaid Festival, it would not be easy for the Lions Club to do community service. The Lions Club has sponsored Cub Scouts for 63 years, sponsors a little league team and owns, operates and maintains the Mermaid Festival Grounds. Other community groups as well as the Lions utilize the grounds each year. However, the Lions Club is more than the Mermaid Festival. It has projects and activities throughout the year that either raise money for or support local organizations and projects and Lions International projects. Examples are eyeglasses for the needy and the Lions Leader Dog program that provides leader dogs free of charge to those that are blind. Another event to put on the calendar that the Lions Club brought back to life in North Webster in 2008 is the Amazing Haunted House at the Mermaid Festival Grounds. The haunted maze will be open for three weekends thanks to the help of North Webster Boy Scout Troop 726. The dates are Oct. 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, and 29. This is fun for the whole family. As a group of 26 members, the club can always use more help with the various projects and fundraisers. To inquire about being a Lions Club member, go to the website at www.nwlionsclub.com, call (574) 8344316, or come to one of the meetings 7 p.m., the second and fourth Thursdays of each month in the Tippecanoe Township Building, 102 S. Morton St. Park and enter on the west end of the building. 2016 Theme Indiana Bicentennial, Celebrating Indiana We hope to see you and your family at the Mermaid Festival this year!
