Getting berry anxious for Old Settlers Days!
(Talk of the Town photo by Jennifer Zartman Romano) With the final hours until Old Settlers Days just ticking away, rides for the festival's midway are parked along the far end of the Whitley County 4-H Fairgrounds property, including this strawberry ride, above. The scrambler ride, which met an unfortunate end last year when it was smashed by an out of control motorist, appears to be back again this year, a delight for some patrons with sturdy stomachs. The midway will be assembled late this evening and ready for visitors tomorrow night in downtown Columbia City.
