September 22, 2011 YARDLEY HARVEST DAY PG.

By Angela Flannery and Carolyn

Fogel of the Makefield Womens

Association

The annual Harvest Day Basket Raffleis a labor of love for the entire mem-

bership of the Makefield Womens

Association (MWA).

Beginning the September before

Harvest Day, the membership nomi-

nates non-profit organizations for the

honor of being the annual beneficiaries;

the only criteria being that the non-

profit holds a 501(C)(3) status.

At the October meeting, member-

ship discusses the nominees, giving

everyone the opportunity to pitch

their nomination, as well as for oth-

ers to learn more about each. Then, in

November, the membership votes to

select two beneficiaries for the follow-

ing years basket raffle.

Those two selected organizations will

share 100 percent of the proceeds from

the basket raffle.

The baskets are formed in a variety

of ways. Many items are donated by

MWA members or solicited from busi-nesses that a member may frequent.

Letters are also written to regional

businesses, such as Sesame Place or

Longwood Gardens, to request a

donation.

The items that are donated are orga-

nized into baskets based on a common

theme. Many of the top selling themed

baskets return year-after-year, like the

X-box, the American Girl Doll of

the Year and a Legos themed basket

(all donated by MWA members).

This year the hope is that the Kindle,

iPad, and Dining Out baskets, as well

our 17 other baskets, pull in the ticketsales to support the two beneficiaries

that were selected: The Nate DeTample

Scholarship Fund and Ivins House.

Tickets can be purchased on site at

Harvest Day, Saturday, Sept. 24, at the

MWA tent near Slim and Tone. The

membership will also be showcasing

the baskets at Bristol Italian Days on

Sunday, Sept. 11, the MWA Flapjack

Fundraisers at Applebees in Newtown

on Saturday, Sept. 17, and The Yardley

Farmers Market on Thursday, Sept. 22.

If you cant make it to any of the events

to purchase tickets in person, dont

worry, you can also print an order form

from the MWA website: http://www.

makefieldwomensassociation.org/har-

vest.html or call Angela Flannery (one

of the chairs of the raffle) at 215-497-

Harvest Day brings Fall fun for borough residents

By John Williams

YARDLEY Following the first day of fall this year is

Yardleys annual Harvest Day celebration, which never fails

to turn out the community in droves.

This year, the Yardley Business Association (YBA) and

Makefield Womens Association (MWA) is almost at max

capacity with 137 vendors bringing their unique crafts and

antiques to the yearly event, which is held in Buttonwood

Park and West Afton Avenue leading up to Main Street.

Carolyn Fogel, public relations spokesperson for the Harvest

Day Festival committee, said she enjoys every aspect ofthe event.

I remember my first Harvest Day my now I know why

I spend all this time going to meetings, planning, kneeling

down on Afton Avenue, while cars are whizzing by, trying

to mark vendor spaces moment looking at the thousands

of people all around enjoying the day, Fogel explained.

She said its encouraging to see all the people who have

come out to support the community to shop, have lunch,

have fun, watch great local family entertainment, enjoy the

borough and catch up with family and friends.

If youre looking for some quick eats while you explore the

various exhibits, feel free to indulge!

Swing by the Billy Ds BBQ hut where hell be cooking up

some mouth-watering pulled pork sandwiches as well as ribs

and hamburgers.

If you are looking for some seasonal snacks then you should

check out returning vendor Best Darn Kettle Corn. Its prac-

tically a Harvest Day institution in-and-of itself. Eat it while

you stroll.

Other vendors include Vinces Pizza, Bondies, The Yardley

Ice House, Blossoms Catering, The Market at Styers

Orchard, The Shrimp Man and your funnel cake headquar-

ters, Dutch Magic.

The Yardley-Makefield Fire Company will be grilling hot

dogs, baking soft pretzels and serving soft drinks as part of

their fundraiser.

The Harvest Day Festival Committee, which meets 15 times

per year, will meet once a week until the event in order to

make sure all of the loose ends are tied down and ready to

go, including hanging posters and throughout town, finaliz-

ing vendors, securing parking and booking shuttle buses.

Yet, there is still work that must be done on Harvest Day.

Fogel describes it as organized chaos.

We have several community groups, such as Girl Scouts,

Boy Scouts, National Honor Society and kids needing com-

munity service hours helping with trash pick-up and food

court clean up, Fogel said. At the end of the day, we have

to get the vendors back to their vehicles, load up and get

safely out without traffic jams and fender benders.Margaret Bork, YBA president, noted that the entire day is

a large collaborative effort put together by the MWA and

YBA. She said borough stores are encouraged to hold sales

in order to attract customers.

The borough allows for businesses to hold sidewalk sales

during Harvest Day, waving the normal fees, she said. The

businesses can hold whatever sales they feel will attract

Harvest Day attendees.

Just as in years past, crafters and painters will sell hand-

made goods; this includes jewelry, ceramic, fabric and glass

items among others. Fine photography will also be on hand,

including framed and unframed pieces.

While you meander through the festival you will notice a

bounty of wood art, home dcor, clothing, fine knitted items

and anything from handbags to candles and extravagant flo-

ral arrangements.

Fogel said that the YBA and MWA have teamed up to

ensure that the arts and crafts are of the highest caliber.

The MWA will donate proceeds from the event to the Red

Cross Homeless Shelter, Bucks County Housing Group,

A Womans Place, Yardley-Makefield Library, Yardley-

Makefield Fire Company, Kisses for Kyle, Twilight Wish

Foundation and two Pennsbury scholarships. The rafflebeneficiaries which are chosen from year to year will

by the Nate DeTample Memorial Scholarship and the Ivins

Outreach Center.

Harvest Day is entirely made up of volunteers and receives

no municipal, state or federal money for the festival. The

committee relies on donations and the fervent work of com-

munity members to donate their time and effort to doing

songs for children while performing live.

Each child feels valued and special when Meg performs and

they have a blast. That is her goal throughout her concerts.

She has performed at large community festivals and

concerts such as, Bostons Greenfest, First Friday in

Doylestown, pre-schools, camps, First Night in Haddon-

field, N.J., and Jammin Java in Virginia. She also played

at Childrens Hospital in Philadelphia. Most recently,

she played at the Dell Music Center in Philadelphia and

Philadelphias Party on the Parkway for their Fourth of July

celebration.

Russell is a natural with children.

What set her music apart from the rest are the various influ-

ences of rhythms ranging from Latin influences to big band,

rock and folk. The variety keeps children and parents highly

entertained. She has combined her two passions, music and

teaching children to feel empowered with their many talents

as showcased in her song Hat Parade.

She writes songs for pure fun and entertainment, and

songs that teach valuable lessons to children. Smile and

Say Hello featured on her CD Hat Parade encourages

children to be more sensitive to others with learning and

physical disabilities. Muscles encourages children to eat

and exercise.

Barnes and Noble and other large distributors throughout

the U.S. have picked up Russells CD. She launched her

Barnes and Noble Tour this past June 2011.

The Market at Styers OrchardBRINGS BESTSELLING CIDER DOUGHNUTS TO HARVEST DAY

By John Williams

LANGHORNE Whats a better way to usher in the fall season

than with a fresh apple cider donut coupled with some cider?

Dave Barbirides, of The Market at Styers Orchard, said the donuts

are always a crowd favorite at the annual Yardley Harvest Day

Festival and the orchards bestseller.

The market plans on boxing 20 dozen apple cider donuts for the

festival. By the time Harvest Day concludes, all of the delicious

cider flavored treats will be gone.

We have a small donut fire and cook them every morning with

cake flour and eggs, Dave said as he explained the familys sweet

concoction. Then we add apple cider to the mix, cook and deep

fry them and after they are finished we roll them in cinnamon

sugar. The Neshaminy football team calls it the breakfast of

champions, he laughed.The Yardley Harvest Day will be held on Saturday, Sept. 24,

beginning at 10 a.m. and lasting until 5 p.m. There will be unique

arts and crafts on display as well as live entertainment, food and

community sponsored booths. Harvest Day is celebrating its 42nd

year of operation.

On Harvest Day, we will serve anywhere from 1,200 to 1,500

people, commented Barbirides. I think there are as many as

3,000 to 5,000 that attend. That figure might even be too low. Its

really satisfying to attend the festival though because people noticeour banner and comment about how reliable The Market at Styers

Orchard is and thats encouraging.

People in Yardley dont always get the chance to make it to our

Langhorne orchard, Barbirides explained, so its nice to bring

our baked goods down as well as our locally grown apples so

everyone has the opportunity to enjoy them.

Barbirides and his wife, Sharon, are originally from Yardley. Dave

grew up off of Dolington Road while his wife lived in the Sandy

Run neighborhood. He said they used to ride their bicycles down

to Harvest Day which at the time was held on Canal Street and

browse the vendors. He said it was the thing to do in the fall.

We will also bring our large assortment of locally grown apples,

including honeycrisp, gala and Cortland, noted Barbirides. There

will also be fresh pressed cider, caramel, candy apples and pies

everything from pumpkin and apple to cherry and blueberry

crumb.

The orchard is in its 101st year of business and the Barbirides

have attended the past six Harvest Days.

There are a lot of craft and food vendors, its a tradition where the

community can get together and celebrate the fall and harvest time

as well as sell products that help kick off the season, said Barbiri-

des. Its great to be part of the Lower Bucks community.

Barbirides also pointed out how nice it is to see so much locally

grown produce at the festival.

As in the past, The Market at Styers Orchard booth will be situatedright next to St. Andrews Episcopal Church off of Afton Avenue as

you head toward the center of town.

Every year we really enjoy being part of the community and

bringing local products, said Barbirides. Weve been around a

while and were glad to keep the tradition going and surviving from

year-to-year.

BucksLocalNews.comLOWER MAKEFIELD Using wood, glue and paint,

Paul Somers of Lower Makefield carries on a family tradi-

tion making shore birds and ducks.

My uncle used to carve all the time, Somers, a retiree of

AT&T, said. I used to watch him. After he passed away my

aunt gave me a big piece of wood and said, Its your turn to

start craving.

His first carving was in 1974.

He thinks being creative runs in the family and cited his

grandfather as an influence for his work. His grandfather

was an artist.

Theyre all originals, Somers said, while describing his

creations. I can carve, he added, but admitted that he

couldnt draw.

For him, carving shore birds and ducks is a good way to

pass the time.

This is the first time Ive ever put anything into a show,

Somers said. Everyones been asking me to do it. So Ill tryit and see how it goes.

Up until now, most of his carved creations are boxed up and

given away as Christmas presents, either to his friends or his

daughter.

Yardley locals like to gather at Mil-Lees on South Main

Street for some food. Somers is no exception.

I go to lunch, he said. Every once in a while, I take

some birds up there and have lunch with some of the guys

that fish.

Somers antiques some of his carved birds. He uses a lot of

brown and tries to make them look authentically worn.

I try to make things as close to what theyre supposed to

be, he said. With not being able to draw, its hard to do

everything, but it comes out and everybody seems to like it.

Somers has lived in Lower Makefield Township for 25 years

and, before retiring, installed telephone equipment.

He was born in Atlantic City and spends most of his

summers out there.

There were a lot of carvers there, he noted. One of his

past-times is collecting old carved decoys.

Yardley Artist CreatesUPCYCLED GLASS BOTTLE ART


BucksLocalNews.com

YARDLEY Yardley resident Melissa

Shevack works with glass. For years now,

she has been making jewelry with glass.

Tis year at Yardley Harvest Day

Festival, she will be selling her bottle

lanterns.

I have been working with glass or over

11 years, Shevack said. Using all the

skills I have learned through the years,

I am now making what I call upcycled

glass bottle art.

Her bottle lanterns are getting the most

attention. She creates the lanterns usingglass wine and liquor bottles.

I careully remove the bottoms o the

bottles and suspend glass votive candle

holders rom a chain inside the bottle,

she said.Shevack said her lanterns are perect or

outdoor use because the bottle creates

a hurricane-style lantern where the

candle cannot be blown out by the wind.

Staying true to my original business o

creating one-o-a kind glass jewelry, I us

diferent parts o the bottle including the

bottoms that have been removed to mak

unique pieces o jewelry, she said.

Upcycling is similar to recycling where

you are taking something and reworking

it into a new orm or continued use.

Te diference is that with upcycling

you are not altering its orm back into its

components or reuse, Shevack said.

Tis allows me to have endless pos-

sibilities o new designs and creations,

Shevack said. She said local establish-ments as well as riends are very willing

to donate used bottles to her.

Tis all will be her second year living in

Yardley Borough as well as her second

time showing her wares at Yardley

Harvest Day Festival.

At Rices Market, Melissa Shevack sells herupcycled glass bottle art.

Harvest Day was started

about four decades ago by

three local civic-minded

residents: Annamae

Bakun, Phoebe Griswald

and Bob Thomas. It began

on Canal Street as a

simple down home kind

of event with local artists,

crafts and farm produce.

Over the years, under

the Makefield Womens

Association (MWA) and

the Yardley Business

Association (YBA), it has

far outgrown its original

location and moved to

Buttonwood Park and

the historic West AftonAvenue.

Thousands of folks come

to Yardley to enjoy the

festivities, eat, mingle,

shop, appreciate the fine

art as well as meet the

artists. Harvest Day is

also a good opportunity to

meet your neighbors and

explore various businesses

in the borough.

There are a number of

not-for-profit organiza-

tions that are of interest

to you. Your efforts and

support can make a big

difference.

All funds generated from

Harvest Day are dispersed

to various charitable pur-

poses and to promote the

Yardley business com-munity. This year, Harvest

Day will be held...Rain or

shine!

Amy Olexa enjoys to sketch, whetherits a whimsical landscape or a city

skyline. If it sparks her interest, she will

sketch it, but it doesnt stop there. Her

sketches are then screen printed onto

clothing a truly unconventional form

of art.

Hand dyeing and screen printing allow

me the outlet to transform my ideas into

a visual form, Olexa said.

She said the entire process from start to

finish can be tedious and time consum-

ing, but the end result is extremely sat-isfying and fills her with a great sense

of accomplishment.

When I sit in a garden or walk along

a river path, I become inspired by my

surroundings which I then transpire into

sketches, Olexa said. The sketches

then become designs that I expose onto

screens.

White t-shirts are her blank canvas,

They soon become bright green like a

forest moss or dip dyed to resemble a

New Mexico sunset, she said. Withfresh ink pulled through my screens,

I have created wearable art.

Textiles became her passion in 1997

while studying at Moore College of Art

and Design in the heart of Philadelphia.

At Moore, she was taught the technique

and discipline needed to become a pro-

fessional artist.

In 2007, Olexa purchased a manual

printing press, flash dryer and built an

exposure unit. With a few dozen t-shirts

and some cotton dyes, she went to work

I then took my newborn creations to

local boutiques and markets, Olexa

said. Shops such as A Mano Gallery

in New Hope, Jacs Urban Wear in

Newtown and Ruka in Philadelphia

have carried her work.

Being part of Harvest Day will become

a family tradition with her participationHer father, Richard Olexa, a fine wood-

worker, has participated in Yardley

Harvest Day Festival for years.

This year, we will be displaying our

work side by side, she said.

YARDLEY Well known for their-

pizza, Esposito Thompson and his

family, owners of Vinces Pizza and

Restaurant, have been participating in

Harvest Day for the past five years (or,

if you would like some perspective,

since Harvest Day implemented a

food court).

According to Stella Esposito

Thompson, It will be a family affair on

Harvest Day. Along with her father,

Vince, and mother, Carmela, as well

as her niece and nephew, Gabriella and

Enzo, respectively, they will whip up

some mouthwatering samplers.

We like to participate for a couple of

reasons, she said. It is so close to our

restaurant it is easy to replenish food

and everything stays nice and hot

and fresh.

While she is outside at Harvest Day,

her brothers, Franco and Luigi, will be

holding down the fort inside the restau-

rant, which is adjacent to the festival.

We bring out the food as we need it,she said. Also it is nice to be outside

interacting and seeing all our customers

and meeting new ones. We are like a

big family and it is nice to see everyone

enjoying the day.

This year, the Espositos will be serv-

ing their most popular vodka rigatoni.

Some other dishes include: Meatball

sandwiches; sausage sandwiches; sau-

sage, peppers and onion sandwiches;

pizza by the slice; and buffalo wings.

There will be soda and bottled water as

well, Thompson said.

All of our ingredients are fresh and

we purchase high quality foods, she

said. We dont spare expense when itcomes to food. It is part of what makes

things taste so good.

In addition to serving in the food court

in Buttonwood Park, the restaurant will

be open for business.

We would like to

thank the town of

Yardley for a great

34 years of busi-

ness, Thompson

said. We strive

Marilyn Schwartz has been the director

of Kids MusicRound Inc. where she

has run an early childhood music pro-gram for the past 13 years in Yardley

and Newtown.

As a resident of Yardley for the past

20 years, she has been thrilled to bring

music to so many families in the area.

The families I first started with now

have children going off to college and

I am still overjoyed at seeing them and

welcoming new little ones into my

musical family, Schwartz said.

Since the parents attend with their

children from newborn through four

years of age, I get to really know and

care about each family and do consider

them very important to me, she said.

Schwartz said Kids MusicRound is

an educational music program for little

ones. We bring our world of music to

families all through play and music fun

shaking eggs, swirling scarves, danc-

ing to all kinds of music and singing

together whether we sing well or not,

she said.

She said its a time for all adults and

children to let loose and feel joyous

which is part of the way we communi-

cate our love of music and families.

The music recorded on the CDs,

Schwartz noted, which are part of

the program, are full of wonderful

arrangements of traditional, world

and original music and become part

of each familys tradition. Thats why

my business partner, Barbara Lysenko,

and I came up with the name Kids

MusicRound.

Schwartz and Lysenko believe that

your love of music and song will keep

going round and round, passed down

from generation to generation.

Marilyn will bring her program to

Harvest Day Festival on Saturday,

Sept. 24.

I love to do Harvest Day because

the community has given me so much

through the years and I truly enjoy giv-

ing back by doing local community

events for all, Schwartz said.

I try to do Harvest Day each year I think Ive been there almost every

year for the last eight or ten years,

she said. I bring my guitar, my instru-

ments for the children to play with me

and we sing and dance together.

After majoring in cello and theatre

in college, she first worked at RCA

Records in New York City and then

moved on to MainMan Ltd. where she

worked with a small group who man-

aged David Bowie and John Cougar

Mellencamp.

She did that for 14 years and performed

with a band in downtown NYC clubs

with her my original music as well.

After having her second child, her

amily left NY to Bucks County where

she needed time away from the rock

music world to concentrate on raising

her family.

I was happily recruited to teach

music in my daughters preschool in

Newtown, took extra classes in early

childhood music and worked in the

field before going off with Barbarato put together our own program,

Schwartz said.

The parent company, Kids

MusicRound LLC, is growing and

they are expanding their early child-

hood program all around New Jersey,

Pennsylvania and have opened in

California, Texas and other locations.

We made our first trip this summer to

Taiwan to train an amazing group of

preschool teachers there working with

them to bring our music into their pre-school, she said.

Its been a wonderful journey and I

hope to continue teaching and being

part of this wonderful community for

a very long time, Schwartz said. I

cant express enough gratitude for all

the support the community has given

to me.

MEMORIES FROM HARVEST DAY 2010


21/24



BucksLocalNews.com

The Shrimpman is not an action hero.Rather, hes a cook who loves to grill.

His name is Harry Haegele. The words,

buffalo-shrimpman, are on the first line

of his e-mail address.

Haegele and his wife, Sue, have partici-

pated in Yardley Harvest Day Festival

for two of the three years that they have

been in business.

I enjoy cooking on the grill, especially

seafood with a bite, he said, laughing.

I also enjoy serving healthy and freshfood.

At Harvest Day, Haegeles menu will

include: buffalo shrimp, Old Bay

shrimp, shrimp wraps, buffalo potatoes

and Old Bay potatoes.

All of these foods will be cooked only

on the grill.

None of the food is fried, he stressed.

Haegele prides himself on his secret

sauce, a recipe that he is keeping to

himself.

It has a touch of love from Curlys

Creations, he said. Curly is a good

friend of Haegeles.

Being The Shrimpman is a side job

for now, but he is hopeful that his love

for cooking will lead to a small busi-

ness venture. By trade, he is a chemical

worker.Haegele said that he learned to cook

through trial and error. Something

must of us are keenly familiar.

I like to cook, Haegele said, I want

to be my own boss. I want to open a

small restaurant someday.

He invites folks to sample his edible

creations at Harvest Day.

If you are looking for something

different and healthy -- come see

SHRIMPMAN! Hope to see you there,

Haegele said.
