Springville Apple Festival 2014
Springville Welcomes You! Welcome all who come. What ever season, whatever reason, visit our Springville community, to look back in time and trace the footsteps of our Native Americans from the dusty trails of yesterday to the memorable sites and events of today. Springville California…Today as yesterday, is nestled in the foothills on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, complimented by forests and mountain streams that drain into three separate forks forming the Tule River, which flows through the village of Springville, that rests in the lap of foothill mountains, Maggie and Moses to the north east, Hatchet
Peak to the north west, and Snail Head to the South. Today, traveling on all weather roads you can feast your eyes upon the unparalleled beauty that colors this vast region, thanks to the wise stewardship of the Native people, and the pioneers and settlers who came before us. Springville, the “little town” on the Tule River, today retains the same flavor that early day settlers found when homesteading, and our way of life continues to be as treasured as the land we live on. Few places on earth match the majesty and sheer beauty of land-

scapes that greet the visitor at every new vista. Winter, summer, spring and fall, Springville has it all. A picture of Americana, a classroom without walls, our village is a landscape of inspiration and discovery, it’s a place where over the years, thousands of people have lived and learned about this part of the world and our place in it. A place where you can live and leave with postcard memories, whether you stand quietly in a green meadow amid a field of wildflowers, or on a snow-capped mountain on the edge of a flowing river, or beside a mountain lake after your ears have grown accustomed to the quiet, you will hear
many sounds, the wind slushing over the surface of the snow; pine needles and leaves rustling around the base of a native tree; water tumbling over boulders down stream; the raucous caw of a raven or blue jay; the melodious song of a myriad of birds; the chatter of many squirrels and nature’s wildlife who share with you a sense of curiosity; and perhaps the distant laugh of many children in school groups that visit the area during one of the seasons to study and learn about ecology, geology, the process of science, natures critters, giant Sequoia redwoods, or historic sites. We are glad you came.

It’s all about Apples-Art & Crafts-Food & Fun!
Springville has a long history of having the best apples in the country. Actually, we are declared “the Apple Capital of Tulare County”. This old time photo circa 1940 is of George Franz standing in front of the Rock Market which is still standing near the Springville Elementry School.
The Mountain Apple Stand of Today During apple season stop by Bear Creek Ranch apple stand just south of the Springville rodeo grounds for a wide selection of mountain grown apples & pears. A familiar apple stand has been in existence in the little village of Springville, namely, Bear Creek Apple Stand, since the late 1970’s. Bear Creek Apple Stand is located on scenic Highway 190, just past “upper” Globe Drive, on the east side of the highway, where the “stand” sells several varieties of apples and one variety of pears. Bear Creek Apple Stand is a family owned and operated “labor of love” business. Owner Dave “Sonny” Hunt, his wife, Maxine along with their son, son-inlaw and other members of their family help manage the orchards and stand. To say that this is a “labor intensive” business is putting it mildly. From sun up to well past sundown, nearly 365 days a year there is always something to be done in the orchards: planting, pruning, thinning, weeding, watering, etc., then there’s the “by hand” harvesting time, and from there, it is off to market, in this case, the market is their Bear Creek Apple Stand. “Sonny” bought his first apple orchard, east of Springville, on Bear Creek Road in 1967, because of the influence of his friend, Bill Berry who owned and operated the Buckhorn orchard, while he was still working as a rural carrier for the United States Postal Service (USPS) in Exeter. “Sonny” commuted between his two jobs until he retired in 1986 from the USPS and
then devoted his full; attention, time and energy to his apple and pear orchards of which he still does to this very day. Prior to selling from their “stand,” the Hunts sold directly from their orchards located on Bear Creek Road. They are not in the “shipping” business as they keep the selling of their produce local and oh how Springvillians love their apples and pears, as do others, because people from out of the area drive for miles just to purchase their produce year after year. Many who attend the Springville Apple Festival stop and purchase the Hunt’s apples and pears before ever reaching the Festival or stop by the stand on their way home after the Festival. During the weekend of the Festival, Bear Creek Apple Stand is extremely busy as their little stand is jam packed with customers desiring to buy their apples and pears.

Organic Apples come to Springville’s Farmer’s Market Edwards Orchards began in 1992 when Mack Edwards planted approximately 500 apple trees on the 10 acre property. A peach seed was found several years later and Mack developed the peach tree obtaining a patent for the “Ambrosia peach in 1997. Both apple trees and peach trees grow on the Edwards Orchards property which covers approximately 10 acres located on Upper Rio Vista Drive just above Springville. Mack began selling not only the fruit at various farmers markets throughout the state but, also growing and selling the bare root trees as a side business. The operation continues to this day, with his family working and picking the fruit for local markets. Mack and his wife Joan remain on the property and supervise operations for their children, grand children and great grandchildren. Fruit at Edwards Orchards includes the Ambrosia peach, Divinity nectarine, Fuji, Mutsu, Gala, Golden delicious, Pink lady and White Astrican apples to name a few. Most of the fruit is either sold at the Springville Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8 am to 12 pm, or at the Apple Festival. The Springville market located in downtown Springville and has provided a great opportunity for local growers in the area to sell produce and maintain a community atmosphere. We pride ourselves on being local and serving the Springville community as best we can. Special orders can be made by contacting Ralph Edwards at (559) 539-1020 or at Edwardsorchards@netzero.net. Please understand, we only pick our fruit when it is ripe and at its peak.

Apple Fest T-Shirt Design
Tara and Marilyn have had a booth at Apple Festival for the past ten years. It all began when Marilyn was looking for festive earrings to wear for various holidays. Tara said, “I can make that”, and started making novelty earrings, bracelets, and necklaces for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Patriotic, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Recently she added Pink Ribbon jewelry for breast cancer awareness.
Tara is also the artist behind their fragranced candles. Not only do they sell handmade candles and jewelry, but they also added desktop fabric Christmas trees for many NFL teams, college football teams, military (Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force), and trees that are decorated for the holidays including Halloween and Christmas. The ladies are both originally from Southern California, but Marilyn is now a resident of Springville. Many miles are traveled each year between Los Angeles and Springville as they prepare for the Apple Festival. This years T-shirt’s logo was designed by Marilyn Knesel.

The Elster Building was completed in 1912 by Charles and Minnie (Hubbs) Elster. Both early settlers of the area. Charles owned sawmills, drove oxen teams in the forest lumbering days. Minnie (Hubbs) Elster’s family were also early settlers. Over the years, then and today the Elster Building has been a shining star in our Springville community. Beginning in 1880, William Daunt purchased property from today’s museum site to the “Big White Barn”. He built a store and served refreshments for teamsters, stockmen and travelers. He registered the site Daunt Post Office in February 1886. In 1887 the Post Office was moved to the middle of main street. In 1911 the Post Office name was officially changed to Springville, California. By the early 1900’s the traffic to and past the Daunt store, included stockman, sheep and cattle, miners, visitors and loggers. The Elster building has been a shining star and the home to many businesses over the years. Many main street businesses moved from their wooden structures to the new brick building.
If Walls Could Talk - the Elster Building The Elster Building, two stories and a basement filled the block reaching from the historical site (livery stable) to today’s Gifford's market to today’s Tule River Drive. One of the buildings first occupants was Elster’s son Irvy. He had an ice house and meat cutting business in the basement. At ground level the building had 6 separate entrances for commercial business and housed hotel rooms upstairs. In 1913 the Postal Office moved again to the new brick building. The Post Office occupied the back of the store occupied by Mr. Neal. In 1927 post office boxes were installed and Minnie Elster became
Postmaster for one year. Since 1912 the Elster Building has had many owners and occupants. Five markets, four cafes, The Sequoia Club bar, pool and card room, two drug stores, four beauty shops, one barber shop and more. At one

time the building was actually condemned by the county of Tulare. It was later purchased and restored, placed on the National Registry of Historic Places and since then has been the home to many Springville businesses. A decade ago the Elster was purchased by Max Walden, a gentleman who loved to restore old buildings. He was instrumental in restoration projects in Santa Cruz and Hanford, CA. Currently his son Cooper Walden continues with the vision.

Quilting... A Journey of Creativity
The Sew N’ Sews Google quilting and thousands of websites pop up for this popular global hobby. Like anything else, quilters tend to gather in guilds, clubs and other groups to share their ideas, techniques, and inspiration. Springville and its neighbors are no different. We have a plethora of talented quilters who produce some of the most beautiful quilted works from king-sized bed quilts to clever little mug rugs, wall hangings, art quilts that mirror breathtaking landscapes, along with table runners and placemats …. All unique because the quilter has chosen the pattern, fabric, thread and quilting design.
Quilting like any other hobby has its own vocabulary understood by all who practice the art. The design on the top of the quilt created by sewing various fabrics together is called “piecing.” Then a quilt sandwich
is made with the pieced top, a batting fabric in the middle and a backing. Quilting is the process of stitching the quilt sandwich together. When you look closely at a quilt, you often find an elaborate pattern to the stitching. Some may be sewn together using a simple cross-hatch design; others may employ a flower design, a cable design, a feather design or combine a number of designs to bring out the pieced pattern to its maximum effect.
Springville residents also belong to the Porterville Quilters. The Porterville Quilters have been meeting for over three decades and with the Orange Belt Quilters out of Tulare are usually found at the Apple Festival selling opportunity tickets to win one of their creations. For many years, the Porterville Quilters have had a booth where festival goers can buy a quilt, table topper, and more.
Funds raised by our local quilt groups go into community service projects like the “Little One Springville group, the Quilts” project where members Sew n’ Sews, gathers monthly at make matching baby dolls and a member’s home for lunch and quilts to give to needy children. sharing and you can see samples of their work on this page.

Springville's Up-Coming Christmas Events
Each year, in the month of December the residents of Springville gather together in the “Park” while the “Springville Volunteer Fire Company” lights up the evergreen tree ushering in the Christmas season.

Springville’s VFW POST 9499 The “Famous VFW Apple Burrito” The “Famous VFW Apple Burrito” is now a very successful product and represents the Post’s biggest fund raiser. The Post mandate is to support Veterans, Widows of Veterans and Children of Veterans. The Springville VFW Post 9499 does that by funding a Porterville Community College endowment for qualified Veterans, donating to the Veterans home, disaster relief when needed, and the VFW blood donation account. The Post also supports local schools with the VFW National Essay Contest and scholarship monies to the graduation class at Springville School. They continue to look for ways to benefit Veterans and our local community. The Post is small in numbers, but big in community goals.

Long Time Business Owner & New Apple Festival Committee Member In 2016 Christine Smith and C F Smith Realty will proudly celebrate 30 years of Springville Real Estate. The brokerage was first located at the Springville Inn, then for 22 years in the stately white house across from the Café and is now located next door to the café. While managing a restaurant in Malibu Chris met her future husband Don. He wanted to move to the country and in 1982 they settled on Balch Park Road. They found the small town lifestyle appealing and loved the proximity to the beautiful mountains. Part of Springville’s appeal for Chris was the opportunity to participate in community organizations and to work for the betterment of the town. Del Pengilly and Timothy Lindvall, agents with C F Smith Realty, share that desire and have been active in the Chamber of Commerce and other service organizations. As a volunteer run event the Springville Apple Festival showcases the impact a group of dedicated individuals can have on their community.
Welcome and Enjoy the Apple Festival and Springville

Apple Run - For All Ages Follows Cow Paths Along the Tule River Alex Reed-Krase Race Director
The Springville Apple Run has been an integral part of the Apple Festival since 1981, the year the festival was founded. The Apple Run’s founder, Carol Lapham, believed a run would be a great way to showcase Springville. Finding a course was initially very difficult. Part of the original course required runners to travel

34 Years and still running ! down Highway 190 Saturday morning amid all the traffic coming to the Apple Festival! Thankfully in 1989 the late Bruce Borror made his ranch, Sequoia Ranch Estates, available to the race organizers. For last twenty-five years the Borror family have given runners a challenging and beautiful race course, following the winding Tule river, cow paths, and steep hill climbs with views of Springville. The Apple Run enjoys broad support from the community. Winners of each age category receive hand made awards from Springville Elementary School. Refreshments are donated by local farms Bear Creek Apples and Pleasant Valley Ranch. The Walmart Distribution Center provides raffle prizes for participants in the kid’s race.

Randy Has been making stoneware pottery for over 30 years....It just gets into your blood and you can’t keep your hands out of mud. Artisan Randy Pearsall has exhibited at our Springville apple festival for over 10 years. Randy’s pottery is what is called functional pottery. There must be a lot of his pottery around this town since he has been selling pottery here for a over a decade.. The ceramic pieces are made of a high fire clay and glazed with glazes that Randy makes himself. All of his work is for you to use and can be safely washed in the dishwasher or placed in the microwave for warming. He sells everything from cereal bowls to casseroles, egg whipping bowls, cookie jars, mixing bowls, platters, and more. He comes up with the neatest ideas for kitchen ware just by studying how things are done in the kitchen. His wife must be lucky to have all these novel ideas in her house. Randy is best known for his
Truly a Functional Potter - Randy Pearsall
Maple leaf design and has currently started doing oak leaves. All work is priced at a very modest price for what he produces. He works very hard to keep the prices down and affordable. Randy was a chemistry major at San Jose State University, so you know that he knows what he is doing when he experiments with his glaze calculations. Pearsall Pottery is located in Manteca California and is easily accessible right off 99 and you are welcome to stop by if you are traveling that way and visit his pottery studio. It might be best to give a call just in case he is out at an event selling his wares. He is located at 11820 Louise Ave. Mantca, CA. Phone 209-825-7792

River Ridge Ranch ...More than a Cattle Ranch
Outstanding Music by Patti Torrey and the Irregulars Wednesday’s 6:00 pm Spring & Fall weather permitting The ranch provides free outdoor River Ridge is many things education to hundreds of school to many people: a 722-acre nature preserve, a working cattle ranch that raises grass-fed and finished/ organically-grown beef for sale at local Farmer’s Markets, a live entertainment venue, a classroom for Tulare County schoolchildren, a community gathering spot-and all just two miles from downtown Springville. What is unusual is that the entire ranch has been placed (voluntarily) under Conservation Easement that protects it forever from subdivision and development and, while it is private property, the public is invited! Often, and for a great variety of educational and fun-filled activities. River Ridge is a special event venue that hosts weddings, reunions and parties....
What’s been called River Ridge for the last decade has been a home for humans and wildlife for hundreds of thousands of years. The ranch was the ancestral home to peoples of the Foothill Yokuts tribe and evidence of their lives in the Sierra foothills abounds. Remnants of a roundhouse have been identified on the property, which must have been almost a perfect place to live year-round. Grinding and milling stations places to gather and process acorns into a storable winter food- are found all along the river banks where flat, granite outcrops meet water and also near several of the many springs found higher on the ranch.
Our knowledge of the ranch’s history is incomplete, but it does appear that it was one of David Karnowski Photos the earliest places children from throughout Tulare occupied by settlers. John Mercer County each Fall and Spring in a McKiearnan arrived in 1859 and program called Trout in the Class- homesteaded on what is now River Ridge Ranch; it is the first recorded room History
occupation of settlers in this area. John McKiearnan married Nancy Clark (Dunn) in Springville in 1865 and they raised 9 children. John McKiearnan was born in Illinois in 1834 and Nancy Clark Dunn was born in Newton County, Arkansas in 1841. However, according to one local source, the real history began in 1619 when Nathaniel Tatum came to Jamestown with a land grant from the British government to settle in the new British Colony. The Tatum family married the Negus family and Charles Negus made his way from the Midwest to California. His descendants sold the Negus ranch to Gary and Barbara in 2000. River Ridge has an ambitious restoration goal: how to return land to a more sustainable state and still provide a living for its owners and workers. To date, dozens of projects have planted native trees, shrubs and grasses, improved cattle grazing practices, enhanced wildlife habitat, prevented soil erosion and protected the Tule River.

Smokey Bear comes to the Apple Festival Each year at Apple Festival time, Smokey Bear visits the Springville Volunteer Fire Company at the Tulare County Fire Station #22 - Springville where he greets the young and the old and is eager to have his picture taken and gives out red fire hats. In addition, the volunteers and staff are ready, willing and able to attend to any medical emergencies that arise during the Festival and perform their normal duties when duty calls. The Springville Volunteer Fire Company (SVFC) originated in 1944 with a few local residents who saw a need for fire protection in and around our community. Today the “Company” has grown to approximately 14 active members that respond to alarms. SVFC is not only a fire service, they also provide medical services as well. They have a very skilled team of qualified EMT’s that help assist ambulance crews on medical incidents. On an average, Springville Volunteer Fire Company, Station #22, responds to 500-600 calls a year, both fire and EMS.

A Kut Above A Kut Above has been going “above” and beyond for 10 years with Melanie Dunlap at the helm. Springville ladies and gents and kids too have been counting on Melanie and her merry band of hairdressers: Linda Haight, Connie Ruiz and Sayoko Johnson to make them presentable to the world. Other beauty salons have come and gone; but thank goodness, we in Springville can still have our hairstyling needs met locally instead of trekking 20 miles to Porterville or …… gasp! taking the scissors to ourselves. There is nothing impersonal about A Kut Above. Melanie inspires a great deal of trust and admiration among her clients. In talking with a few, a theme emerged. “She listens! I don’t know how to express just what I want, but she instinctively knows; she just gets it” say both Marie Nave, a thirteen-year client, and Carol Manning. “I wouldn’t dream of going somewhere else” says Carol. A long-time customer myself, I share their sentiments. Of course, the true test of a business is repeat customers. And, what do the ladies want? We appreciate the compliments from others. We three have all had that experience. “Who does your hair” friends, family, and complete strangers ask. In Marie’s case, a woman followed her

Kathy rounds out the experience offering nail care, pedicures, and massages. More services to forestall that long drive to Porterville. And, once suitably coiffed, if one needs some great hair care products, or those special accessory items to complete the experience, Melanie offers eye-catching bling in the form of handbags, hats, belts, scarves, and jewelry. Shopping at A Kut Above makes a lot of sense as the Christmas holidays approach … check out the shop during the Apple Festival and before traveling for holiday shopping.

Springville’s Longest Running Restaurant The Hamburger Stand..........A Springville Fixture Good News! Janelle Stark and her family are enjoying “over the top busy” at The Hamburger Stand these days. Although it may not always have been this busy, The Hamburger Stand has been a proven success since Janelle and Gordon Stark began running it on April 1, 1977. Janelle recalls one of their busiest days … it happened the month they opened during the Jackass Mail Run. In those days, this event was huge and crowds of thousands were common. They were ready for the crowds when the cash register broke down. Janelle’s daughter, Kippy, rang up sales sitting on a stool, using an adding machine, and making change out of a shoebox. Janelle remembers the event as tons of fun with the park full and dancing on the slab. The Starks originally lived in Southern California and came to Springville for getaways in a little house they owned on Tule River Drive. During their last trip, Gordon asked Janelle if she regretted having to return to Southern California. She admitted she did. He made her a proposition. They
would return home, list their house immediately, and if it sold quickly, they would take it as a sign they should relocate to Springville. Arriving home on Saturday, they contacted a realtor who said she would list the house on Monday. The next day, a knock on the door turned out to be prophetic. A little lady coming from a church said she had been passing their house since her son took up his job as a new pastor nearby. She wondered if they might consider selling. So, without listing the house; indeed, without anyone knowing they wanted to sell, the house sold on Monday with a 30day escrow and Janelle and Gordon began packing for the move to Springville. Leaving that summer for home, Janelle and Gordon had rented their Tule River house to friends. So when their Southern California home sold, they had no home to move to. They spent from July to October camped out in Gordon’s brother’s yard before finding a place.
Lions’ club members serve up their annual traditional breakfast starting at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday of the Festival. The breakfast menu consists of pancakes and sausage along with applesauce and a beverage. Guests enjoy eating their breakfast while visiting with family, friends, neighbors and new acquaintances in the food court also
When Gordon passed away, Janelle’s son and daughter stepped in to help. They worked in the restaurant as kids and Janelle’s grandkids have also worked there. Son, Keith, is now the General Manager and daughter, Kippy, fills in as needed.

The kids wouldn’t dream of selling it.” So folks, rest easy.

Early Bird Pancake Breakfast The Springville Mountain Lions’ Club booth is located in Springville Memorial Park on the north side, next to the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office and Fire Station. The “Lions” have been participating in the Springville Apple Festival since its inception in 1980, and has been in the same location as it is at this Festival, in the Springville Memorial Park.
had a whole six weeks of experience working at a Taco Bell! Early on, Janelle said she and Gordon realized they shouldn’t work together if they wanted to go home as friends in the evening. Their solution was to divide up the work. Janelle took on the restaurant duties of cooking, cashiering, delivering orders, and supervising staff while Gordon handled the administrative work of bookkeeping, ordering supplies and so forth. It was a lot of work. From day one, The Hamburger Stand has been open seven days a week.
The Springville Mountain Lions Club
located in the Springville Memorial Park. Lunch preparations begin around 10:30 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. The Lions’ lunch menu offers two choices; their famous barbequed tri-tip cole slaw burritos, served with chili beans and corn on the cob or their barbequed chicken wings served with chili beans and corn on the cob. Maintaining a booth year after year at the Springville Apple Festival helps the Springville Mountain Lions raise additional funds to invest back in to our community by supporting local youth activities such as school events, boys and girls scout troops and add-ons for Springville youth at the Porterville
Fair, plus s c h o l arships for local Springville youth graduates. The Springv i l l e Mountain Lions Club expresses their gratitude to all the attendees of the Springville Apple Festival who help in their fund-raising efforts by having their breakfast and lunch meals at their booth year after year.
