Jordan gets set for 64th annual Fall Festival editor@eagle-observer.com

For 64 years, Jordan has been host to the Fall Festival. Wanda Bard is one Jordan resident to have volunteered at every single one. This year’s festival will take place this weekend, Sept. 17, 18 and 19 on Beaver Street. The festival has grown tremendously since it started in 1946. It was first held behind Charlie Taylor’s gas station across from Village Hall. In its third or fourth year it was moved to the school grounds. Don and Wanda Bard, who run the hamburger, sausage and hot dog stand at the festival, receive help from nearly 40 volunteers in serving the droves of customers at the festival. Don ordered 400 pounds of sausage, 280 pounds of hamburger and 200 pounds of hot dogs, along with seven

bushels of peppers and five bushels of onions, in anticipation of this year’s event. Shirley Drummond, the festival’s chair since 1987, said the event runs on the help of three to four hundred volunteers every year. Funds raised from sales made at volunteerstaffed booths go to the Jordan Community Council, which disperses funds to non-profits such as the Jordan Pool, the food pantry and the scouts. The volunteers won’t be the only ones having a good time; the festival provides a variety of entertainment the entire family can enjoy. There will be amusement rides, live music, Parky the Clown, arts and crafts, teen karaoke, a pancake breakfast on Sunday – starting at 8 a.m. and running “’til gone� – an impressive car, bike and truck show, and perhaps most anticipated of all, Sunday’s greased pole climb competitions – one for kids at 10:30 a.m. and one

Timber Banks‌ No longer a secret! Timber Banks is quickly establishing itself as one of the premiere golf facilities in New York State. This 18-hole semiprivate Nicklaus Design facility located in Baldwinsville opened its doors last spring with the back nine ready for play. This spring brought the debut of the finished product as the front was open to the members in April and to the rest of the public in May. The golf course is part of an 887 acre planned unit development which includes the golf course and practice areas, 65 slip marina and 638 residences. Residential options include resort style apartments, villas, cottages, single family homes and estate homes. Heritage Homes and @Home Builders are the two contracted builders for this golf and marina community which provides Timber Banks the capability to build to your needs. As the first Nicklaus Design facility in Upstate New York, Timber Banks provides

a ‘Destination Golf Course’ for all of us looking for a little break from the norm. Nicklaus Design is known for the undulating greens and contouring bunkers and this course does not disappoint. The only hole that does not have a green- side bunker is #17, which doesn’t need one with the collection areas both left and right. Tournaments play an integral part of any golf facility and Timber Banks delivered in 2010 hosting tournaments for a number of local organizations including the NYS Association of Convenient Stores, NYS Motor Truck Association, Baldwinsville Chamber of Commerce, the Irish Festival and Operation Southern Comfort. This success looks to continue in 2011 as well says General Manager,

Perry Noun III “We believe that we have one of the finest golf facilities in Upstate New York. We have worked very hard to get the golf course and staff operating up to our expectations and we are starting to see the benefits.� “There is an advantage to being the only Nicklaus Design course in this area� says Noun III. “It also carries tremendous responsibility on me, our Golf Professionals, the Superintendent and the rest of our staff. He does not put his name on the line for just any golf course.� The Inaugural Club Championship was held last month. The winner of the Club Championship gross division was Mark Dal, who fought off Terry Rose on 18th

net, a heated indoor pool, private balconies and refrigerators in all rooms and is located on the lake and close to town! Old Forge has something for everyone. “Come this Fall and play in our leaves!� For campground reservations, please call 1-800-CAMPING or visit OldForgeCamping. com. For hotel Stay ‘N Play res-

Tickets to Syracuse Show Jumping Competitions Raise Money for Local Not-For-Profit The Syracuse Invitational and Oncenter Complex are proud to announce that tickets are now on sale for the 2010 Tournament which features the 127th National Horse Show.

sexual violence and helping the victims. “This is huge for us and Vera House,� said Tournament Manager, Meg Maloney. “In 2009, we sold over 9,000 tickets to the Invitational. We hope this encourages people who have never been to the tournament to check it out this year, knowing a fun night out at a unique event is supporting Vera House. We’re hoping to sell 10,000 tickets in 2010.� “We were thrilled to learn of the Oncenter’s gracious gesture in donating $1 of each ticket surcharge to Vera House,� stated Vera House Executive Director Randi Bregman. “In these challenging economic times, finding additional support makes all the difference in our delivery of programs and services. We’re really looking forward to this year’s tournament and sincerely appreciate the dedicated partnership of the organizers of the Syracuse Invitational Sporthorse Tournament.� The Ticketed show-jumping events include the following: Friday November 5th – 7:00pm: Syracuse Corporate Challenge and Gambler’s Choice
