Coloma celebrates local growth

OLOMA—For nearly five decades, the Glad-Peach Festival has been the pride and joy of the Coloma community.

Originally a celebration of the area’s homegrown gladiolus flowers, the festival expanded in the 1970s to include Coloma’s prospering peach crops. Organizers say between 15,000 and 20,000 people from all over Michiana flock to downtown Coloma each day of the three-and-ahalf day festival to shop at craft booths, play fair games, watch street shows and frequent food booths.

“I grew up with the festival,” said Martin Quigley, director of the Run/Walk/Bike 5K and 10K races. “It really is a

hometown community family-friendly festival.

You just don’t get bored with any of it.”

Quigley said he has participated in the festival in some way or another for the majority of his life, and each year the festival has been different.

“Each year we’re looking for different activities, different attractions. Last year we introduced the street movie downtown on Saturday night. This year it’s the bike show instead of the car show,” Quigley said, referring to the motorcycle show that will line the downtown Sunday.

The festival begins at 4 p.m. Thursday, July 31, with dollar night. Tickets are $1 each, and rides are one ticket apiece.

Friday, Miss Coloma and her court along with city and township officials open the festival at 6:15 p.m.

“A youth parade follows that grand opening on Friday evening. The kids from the area groups like 4-H and church groups put on a parade.

Some will put together floats, and others will be on bicycles or walking, and they’ll all be part of the youth parade,” Quigley said.

Saturday morning, hundreds will participate in perhaps the highlight of the festival, the Coloma Glad-Peach 5K/10K Bike, Run and Walk.

“We’re expecting 600 participants this year.

Following those events we have a fun run primarily for kids, but the adults can jump in there, too,” Quigley said.

Chalk the Block St. joe hosts family fun weekend

S

T. JOSEPH—Need a summer boredom buster for your family before the back-to-school crunch begins? St. Joseph, Michigan is hosting its 13th annual Chalk the Block July 31-Aug. 3.

Sponsored by Cook Nuclear Plant-Indiana Michigan Power, this free event brings in regional artists who create chalk masterpieces on Broad Street, between Lake Boulevard and State Street.

In keeping with the sidewalk theme, downtown merchants showcase sales merchandise outside and local organizations hold special walk-to events such as heritage walking tours, a farmers’ market, Antiques on the Bluff and free rides around the Victorian-era town in a horse-drawn trolley.

“This weekend celebrates our sidewalk friendly city,” said Jill Stone, executive director of St. Joseph Today. “Not only can you see awesome chalk art, families can splash in Whirlpool Compass Fountain, jam to live music or catch a movie outdoors by Lake Michigan.

Everything is free.”

Stone said it is also a good opportunity to view the city’s outdoor art exhibit in downtown, “Shining Sculptures” that features artist-painted lighthouses.

In addition to viewing artists at work creating their chalk masterpieces, visitors to downtown St. Joseph can participate in a number of opportunities.

Beginning at 1 p.m.

County parks staff have been working to revamp their events, adding several other activities that take advantage of the parks’ many amenities such as moonlight and twilight canoeing trips.

“We’re going to offer a full series of parent events,” Farrough said.

Though not solidified, other parent-child events in the works include a mother-daughter ski trip, fatherson archery event and a mother-son hayride trip.

“Most of them will probably be at St. Patrick’s County Park, but the hayride would be at Bendix Woods County Park,” Farrough said. “We’re kind of hoping to offer one per season, so this one is the summer event, and we’ll do one in the fall, winter and spring.”

Those wishing to participate in the fatherdaughter canoe trip must sign up by Aug. 4. Cost is $20 per canoe. A canoe fits up to three people.

“What we said is that it’s ideal for daughters 10 and older. If there’s only one adult in the canoe, we don’t really want a tiny child in the front of the canoe,” Farrough said.

“The parent should have some canoeing experience.

The river isn’t a great start to canoeing if you haven’t canoed before. Usually we recommend a pond or a lake, but if the father has been in a canoe once or twice, they should be OK.” St. Joseph County Parks can be reached at (574) 654-3155.

TOURIST FOR A DAY

Celebrate the coast Ship and Shore Festival returns to Whittaker Street for 30th anniversary

N

EW BUFFALO — Celebrating its 30th year, the New Buffalo Ship & Shore Festival returns Aug. 8-10 with plenty of opportunities for people of all ages.

The three-day signature festival presented by the New Buffalo Business Association and Four Winds Casino offers a variety of unique opportunities, including a lighted boat parade and “top-notch” popular bands like Sixteen Candles and Jedi Mind Trip.

“These phenomenal bands are from all over the Midwester,” said Colleen Ryan, festival producer from Traffic PR & Marketing. “People have a great time dancing, and the music highlights everything while people stroll along the street to shop at the craft booths and art vendors, drop inside the

Whittaker merchants and enjoy the shoreline sights.”

The lighted parade features floating yachts, pleasure boats and cruisers draped with twinkling lights on the waters of the harbor. After the parade, Casey’s New Buffalo sponsors a fireworks show, which is dedicated to Ryan’s late husband, Tom Neubauer, this year.

“It’s such an enjoyable weekend and one of the most scenic sights anywhere in the Midwest,” said Migs Murry, chairperson. “The backdrop of beautiful Lake Michigan makes it a fantastic event. There’s something magical about the location of the fest in this terrific beachfront town, and we’re really excited to be back on Whittaker Street for the 30th Anniversary Celebration.”

Other popular opportunities include the “Family

Fun Fest,” in which children can participate in an ice-cream eating contest, face painting, carnival games and interactive activities sponsored by Curious Kids’ Museum.

Saturday Aug. 9, runners of all experience levels can participate in the Bison Boosters Stampede 5K Walk/Run, which begins and ends at the New Buffalo Beach. T-shirts are guaranteed with pre-registration at NBAS.org. Race day registration and packet pickup begins at 7:45 a.m., and the race begins at 8:30.

Free parking will be offered at the beach until 10:30 a.m.

Cost to attend the Ship & Shore Festival is a $5 donation at the gate. Children 12 and under enter for free. For more information, visit www.newbuffalo.org, or call 888-660-6222.

Cornmeal Breaded Buffalo Cauliflower Yield: 2 servings

2 ½ cups local cauliflower florets 2 cups cornmeal Water

¾ cup buffalo sauce Ener g egg replacer

1. Place cornmeal in a small mixing bowl.

2. In a small prep bowl, whisk together about ½ tablespoon Ener g egg replacer with enough water to make about ½ - ¾ cup slurry to dip your florets in. You might want to check the box for proportions.

3. Dip one floret in the slurry, then roll it in the cornmeal and place in a large mixing bowl. Repeat until all the florets are breaded.

4. Meanwhile, reheat ¾ cup sauce in a small sauce pan. Pour over the florets, and use a rubber spoon-achula to toss well. Be sure all the florets are coated thoroughly. I used 1 medium size head organic cauliflower, and ¾ cup sauce coated it perfectly.

5. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, stirring once or twice to ensure even baking.

6. Serve with a side of vegan ranch and salad.

Vegan Buffalo Sauce Yield: about 2 cups sauce

2/3 cup Frank’s hot sauce 1 cup coconut oil 4 cloves fresh garlic, lightly chopped 1 habanero pepper, sliced

1 teaspoon paprika 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1 teaspoon liquid smoke

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the metal “S” blade and process until you have a smooth liquid. You’re going to want to scrape the sides a couple times throughout the blending process.

2. Pour sauce into a saucepan, and heat over medium high heat, whisking constantly until sauce starts to simmer and thicken. This should only take about five minutes.

3. Toss with vegetables immediately. Store extra sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. her vegan instructional cooking videos.

Grammy winner Peter Frampton opens Mendel Center season

b

enton township — The Lake Michigan College Mendel Center Mainstage launches its 2014-2015 season in a big way when Grammy winner Peter Frampton takes the stage at 8 p.m.

Aug. 7 Following a massive year of touring, including 2013’s inaugural Frampton’s Guitar Circus, Frampton is back on the road for a tour that includes a stop in southwestern Michigan.

Frampton has kept quite busy throughout the past year in addition to touring.

He was recently inducted in the Musicians Hall of Fame, performed onstage at the Grammy’s with Ringo Starr and also played an integral part in the 50th anniversary celebration of the Beatles’ arrival in the U.S. Frampton also produced “Humble Pie’s Rockin’ The Fillmore” deluxe compilation with original member

Jerry Shirley, available now via Omnivore Recordings.

Moreover, Frampton’s latest work, “Hummingbird in a Box,” was released June 23 via RED Distribution. The new music was inspired by the Cincinnati Ballet, featuring seven original guitar pieces in Frampton’s virtuosic styling. Frampton composed all songs on the mini-album along with Gordon Kennedy, who also co-produced the recording.

The two previously teamed up for “ Fingerprints,” which garnered them both a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.

Frampton remains one of the most celebrated artists and guitarists in rock history. At 16, he was lead singer and guitarist for British band the Herd. At 18, he co-founded one of the first super groups, seminal rock act Humble Pie. His session work includes collaborations

with such legendary artists as George Harrison, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ringo Starr, John Entwistle and many others.

His fifth solo album, the electrifying “Frampton Comes Alive!,” is one of the top-selling live records of all time.
