iN75 Readers: Send us your Halloween photos! Dear Readers, Growing up, my brothers and I always had the best Halloween costumes. My mom loves to sew, and she mastered the art of stitching together beautiful costumes that rivaled any store-bought garb. I had the prettiest pink princess dress one year and an adorable miniature wedding gown the next. I was a witch, a butterfly and an old lady, and the costumes were always great. My brothers looked like they stepped right off the sets of “Ghostbusters,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Power Rangers.” But one year I was a green fish. It may have been just for a lack of any better ideas, but most likely I just couldn’t decide on a costume early enough to give Mom time to make it. The fish costume, which was really more of a headdress, was two cardboard fish cutouts glued together with a hole in the bottom for my head and a hole in the belly for my face to stick out. We decorated it with green fabric and glittery paint, but
glitter can only do so much. I love you Mom, but this wasn’t your best year. Try as we might, neither I, nor my mom, could locate a picture of me in that green fish costume to share with you all. And trust me, I so desperately wanted to find it after I asked Mom about it and she informed me my older brother went as a killer whale that year. I guess it was a marine animal showcase of sorts. In the weeks leading up to Halloween, iN75 wants to show off your bad, embarrassing or just down right hilarious trick-or-treat photos. We know you all have at least one. We’ll accept cute or scary pictures, too. Email your photos to in75@ohcommedia.com, along with your name and phone number so you can be notified if your photo is published. The best (or worst) pictures will be printed in upcoming editions of the iN75. Show us what you’ve got and make us laugh! Lindy Jurack iN75 Editor

Our boys had the opportunities to meet many interesting and knowledgable people going to parades. It also taught them how to work together as a family and to help others in need.” The Hausfelds have volunteered for many community activities throughout the years and have passed the tradition on to their three boys. Their son Ric and his wife, Kathy, are the parade chairs this year. “Since I grew up with it, it is a way of life,” Ric
said. “Kathy will want to go up to the park with me and just enjoy it. I’m lost if I’m not doing something (up there).” Ric has worked with many of the various committees and the Oktoberfest board. His brother Ron and his wife, Amy, have served as parade chairs as well. “After all of us helping Mom and Dad (get) going the first 50 years, we couldn’t just let it fall apart when they weren’t running it anymore,” Ron said, elaborating on the

MINSTER — In 1974, two Minster service groups got together to begin an annual festival that has become a mainstay to the local festival scene. Minster Oktoberfest kicks off Friday at 6 p.m. and continues throughout the weekend. A full schedule of events can be found at www.minsteroktoberfest.com. The official blessing and opening ceremonies will take place at noon on Saturday at the Gazebo in the Minster Machine Centennial Park located on Fourth Street in downtown Minster. Minster Oktoberfest has become a tradition for the families who worked on it at the beginning and their children and grandchildren. Back in 1973, the work began on the first Oktoberfest. Rolly Hausfeld was one of the first people in the area who had a hand in the planning stages. He and his wife, Diana, spent a lot of time visiting other festivals to gather information, especially taking notes on parades. The Hausfeld’s entire family became an example of just one of the many “Fest Families” in Minster. Rolly and Diana have worked on the parade committee, queen contest, arts and crafts committe and more. “There are so many great memories,” Diana said. “We had some great experiences going to parades every weekend with the family and members of the commit-
amount of time put in by the committee members. Ric echoed, stating that during peak times they have put in up to 40 or 50 hours per week. Their brother Randy has been a part of the committees as well. “As the fest gets closer, the more time they put in to the process,” Randy said. “But we all do. It’s not just a Hausfeld thing.” Gary Oldiges was another of the beginning committee members for the first Oktoberfest and continues his work with the festival today. He was on the original board as a Jaycee then and now is a Minster Service Club member. Like all the others in the beginning years, Oldiges realized in order to make the Oktoberfest a success, it would require a large investment of time from many people. He did the advertising the first year and currently serves as the board secretary. “It’s a 12-month job and takes about 10 hours each week,” he said. Sometimes dealing with full-time jobs and serving on the various committees can be a juggling act. Now retired, Oldiges says his schedule is always “fest friendly.” The Hausfelds have said they have to use their vacation days in order to get their Oktoberfest duties done. The Minster Oktoberfest began as a joint fundraising effort between the Minster Kiwanis and Jaycees, now the Minster Service Club and the Journeyman’s Club.

Meteor Motor Car Co. is fifth ornament in Mainstreet Piqua’s Made in Piqua series
PROVIDED PHOTO
Tom Caserta, owner of Meteor Motor Car Co., accepts the first Made in Piqua ornament commemorating his company from Mainstreet Piqua Executive Director Lorna Swisher. The ornament is the fifth in a series of ornaments featuring historical and current Piqua companies.
PIQUA — The Meteor Motor Car Co. is the featured business on the fifth Made in Piqua ornament that is now available. The brass ornament features the front of the original Meteor Motor Car Co. building and an ambulance and hearse. The Meteor Motor Car Co., which later became the Miller-Meteor Motor Car Co., began production of luxury cars, funeral coaches and ambulances in Piqua in 1913 and remained in business through the mid-1970s. The Made in Piqua ornament series was started to honor Piqua’s landmark companies and have so far featured a Decker’s lard can, a three-blade Hartzell propeller, a Favorite base
burner stove and the French Oil Mill Machinery Co. Each ornament comes in a blue box that was especially produced for the project by Piqua Paper Box Co. The cost per ornament is $12. Mainstreet Director Lorna Swisher, who is coordinating the project, said Tom Caserta, owner of the Meteor Motor Car Co., was intimately in-
volved in the design of the ornament. “I am very excited to see the Meteor Motor Car Co. honored in this way,” he said. The ornaments are now available at the Mainstreet Piqua office, 326 N. Main St., as well as Readmore Hallmark, 430 N. Main St.; Apple Tree Gallery, 405 N. Main St.; and Tapestry Angel, 516 Spring St.
