BY PAULA FAHLE • May 29, 2009 One Lindsey youth will be serving up lemonade and iced tea for charity next week and he
hopes you’ll stop by for a cool drink and to help his cause. Garrett Joseph will have his third annual lemonade and iced tea stand open to the public from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the corner of Walnut and Lynn streets in Lindsey. There is no set price on the beverages. Donations of whatever you like will be accepted, with a 25 cent minimum requested. Kortini Joseph will have bakery items available during that time also. For a donation, you can choose your favorites with proceeds from the baked goods going toward the Roper’s 4-H Club Walk-A-Thon. Mark your calendars to gather in the neighborhood for this popular yearly treat. The Sandusky County Park District is inviting the public to celebrate National Trails Day by participating in a hike at 5 p.m. June 5 at the North Coast Inland Trail section at the Wendelle C. Miller Park in Lindsey. National Trails Day encourages citizens to explore trails in their communities. Those interested can take a short hike by seeing the newest section of the trail at this location. All ages are welcomed to attend and there is no registration required for this event. Creek Bend Farm Park in Lindsey will be the site of a wedding celebration that the public can register to attend for a fee of $10 per person. The Sandusky County Park District will recognize the matrimonial celebration of three generations of the Waggoner-Roush families. Those attending can put on their Sunday dress and be a part of the celebration and be treated to games, a light lunch and viewing of wedding clothing and artifacts. They will also make a handkerchief to take home. You must be at least 14 years old to attend the celebration that will be from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 to 5:30 p.m. June 6 and from 2 to 4:30 p.m. June 7 at the farm park. You can register for one of these time slots by calling the park office at 419-334-4495. If you can not attend any of the celebrations, the public will be able to take a wedding celebration tour of the farmhouse on the grounds and view the wedding clothing and artifacts that have been donated by the Roush family from noon to 8 p.m. June 8. There is no cost to take this tour. The Lindsey Volunteer Fire Department will have a chicken barbecue fundraiser at 11 a.m. June 14 in the Wendelle C. Miller Park in Lindsey.
