After ten years as the Event Chair for the Springville Apple Festival, Phyllis Taylor, our intrepid leader, handed over the apple for someone else to polish. Said Phyllis: “all I ever wanted to do was polish the apple – make it better (the Apple Festival)”, but, it was time to step down and let someone else take over. Phyllis joined the Apple Festival Committee in 1999, but after a couple of meetings, “I was asked to run as a nominee for Event Chair by Milly Gann; she said she would kick my butt, if I didn’t run.” Phyllis continued in that role until 2004. That’s the year she and husband, Jerry, started a total renovation of their house doing most of the work themselves. She was back in 2006: “it was my intent to stay in the role of Event Chair for no more than fi ve years.” Again, in 2009, Phyllis intended to step down and turn over the reins to someone new in 2010. “But, major changes dictated by CalTrans rules: “caused me to stay that year. I didn’t want to saddle someone new with the burden of

completely altering the festival.” Some might ask what Phyllis is doing now: “Well, I am still co-chair for the Spaghetti Dinner, Chair of the Springville Blood Drive, and head of the Concerts in the Park.” In other words, no grass is growing under Phyllis’ feet. Phyllis is also an avid quilter, wife, mother, and grandmother with lots to keep her occupied.

What advice would Phyllis give to hersuccessor and others who may take overthe role in the future: “Do what you lovewith all your heart.” That sums up Phyllis’service to the Apple Festival for all thoseyears and embodies her continuingefforts on new and continuing projects. Thank you Phyllis for what you’vedone for the community and what youcontinue to do! Job well Done!

“Do what you love with all your heart.”


Making of the Pies!Making of the Pies!Pies made by Springville Community Club and Springville Women’s Club are just part of the yummy apple treats created every year for the Springville Apple Festival. Check out “All Things Apple on page 21.”

There can’t be an Apple Festi-val without apple pies …. hun-dreds and hundreds of them. Both the Springville Commu-nity Club and the Springville Women’s Club make pies for the festival. The Communi-ty Club sells theirs at the big red/white striped booth next to the Hamburger Stand and the Women’s Club has a booth in the Park next to Gifford’s Market. There is a trick to mak-ing hundreds of pies besides lots of hard work. “First you have to have a lot of friendly, good-natured, hardworking lady volunteers” Sandy Whal-ing says. She’s the Pie Chair-man for the Community Club – “yes Virginia, there is a pie chairman.” Next you throw in a bunch of friendly, good-na-tured, hardworking men vol-unteers (thank you Springville Mountain Lions). You mix

them up and let them go for a week at the Springville Vet-erans Memorial Building, and “wa la” they turn out the most delicious apple pies. “We make them; the men bake them!” quips Sandy. “We have changed up a few things over the years, but not too much.” There are lots of jobs – some women make the dough, others roll it out, others create the apple mixture of apples, cinnamon (lots of cinnamon), sugar, fl our and salt, others put the top crust on and trim it, and others roll and crimp the crust until it is just right. The men cart the fi nished pies off to the kitchen where they are baked in two big ovens. The work goes on from 7 a.m. to late afternoon until the cold

room is fi lled. Visitors have asked why don’t you make more because you often sell out on Saturday. The answer is capacity. “We have room to store 1,000 pies so that’s our limit,” Sandy tells us.

Enjoy your Springville Apple Pie and know – proceeds from pie sales return to the commu-nity in the form of scholarships and community service proj-ects. It’s all a labor of love!


Making of the Pies! Apple Pies!Apple Pies!Great Apple Pie Recipe

Pie Crust 2 1/2 cups all-purpose fl our1 teaspoon white sugar1 teaspoon salt 1 cup solid vegetable shortening (cold)1/3 cup ice water plus 1 tablespoon if needed Combine fl our, sugar and salt.Cut in 1 cup cold vegetable shortening (I use Crisco’s buttery-fl avored shortening)When the mixture is the size of a pea or smaller, add a scant 1/3 cup of the ice waterand mix with your hands until the dough forms a ball. Do not kneed.Form the ball into two equal parts, wrap cling wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the apples. Pie Filling Approximately 3 lbs of apples - mixed varieties are fi ne3 Tablespoons of fl our1/2 - 3/4 cups sugar1 heaping teaspoon of cinnamon1/2 teaspoon salt

Peel and slice approximately 2 - 2 1/4 lbs apples (the weight after peeling and slicing). Fuji apples make a great pie; or you can use some tart and some sweeter like granny smith with golden delicious. Add 3 tablespoons of fl our, 1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, a heaping teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Adjust sugar depending on how sweet the apples are.

Roll out the lower crust and line a 9” pie tin.Mound the apples into the pie tin ... they cookdown a lot, so be generous. Position 4 slices ofunsalted butter over the apples. Brush the lip ofthe bottom crust with water and cover with thetop crust. Pinch the two crusts together to sealand trim the crust to an inch overlapping the lipof the pie tin. Roll the crust and crimp. Cut ventsin the top of the crust. Sprinkle the crust with 2tsp of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Bake at 425 degrees for a half hour, then lowerthe temperature to 350 and bake another halfhour or until the fi lling is bubbling. You mayneed to use a crust guard to keep the edge of thecrust from becoming overdone. Cool completely to allow the fi lling to thicken. Ifyou want to serve warm, reheat for 15 minutes ina 350 degree oven.

Sandy thinks she’s going to make pie

out of us.

Volunteers are what make the Ap-ple Festival run. This year, a new group has joined the effort – they are Boy Scout Troop 132 of Por-terville under Scout Master, Matt Moore. Per Matt, “we’re responsible for the food courts this year, making sure trash is picked up and tables cleaned.” Matt described his group as “a very busy troop. Each scout puts in an average of 105 hours of commu-nity service work which does not include the hours they dedicate to their Star, Life, and Eagle projects or the hours they spend working to-ward their merit badges in an array of subjects.” Most of the scouts’ efforts hone skills they will fi nd useful in all parts of their lives. A recent Eagle Scout candidate, for instance, is remodel-ing the youth room at the First Con-

gregational Church in Porterville. Matt notes” The scout can and is expected to recruit help, plan the project, raise the necessary funds, assign the work, and supervise as well as participate.” While I at-tended the meeting, another scout, Ray Peel, moderated the meeting, documenting incoming projects, getting volunteers, assigning tasks, and making sure everyone knew their assignments and Grant Innis made a power point presentation to the troop using his computer skills. They are an impressive and dynam-ic group! We are fortunate and grateful to have the Scout Troop 132 join the Apple Festival team. Scouts range in age from 11 to 18. Anyone whose son is interested in joining this dynamic group can con-tact Matt Moore at 559-539-3000.

Frank Knowles introduced ap-ples to Springville in the 1850s. Known as the “Johnny Apple-seed” of Springville, his orchard on Bear Creek was chronicled by Hale Tharp, an early Springville settler who reported his visit with Frank in a journal. A short time later, John M. Nel-son settled above Springville in Camp Nelson where he planted that hamlet’s fi rst apple orchard. Soon valley residents were mak-ing frequent trips to Camp Nel-son for the excellent fruit and cider. The Golden Delicious variety was established at the Buckthorn Ranch in 1916 by J.P. “Pete” Pl-anchon.Excellent growing conditions at the upper levels of Bear Creek, Balch Park, and Camp Nelson in-spired the proliferation of apple orchards into 1993 when Riven-dell Orchard was established. Historic names in Springville

history are associated with apple orchards … names like Osborn, Dillon, Phipps, Crook and Mur-phy. Today, you can fi nd several varieties the hills above Spring-ville. Red and Golden Delicious, Arkansas Blacks, Sommerfi elds, Galas, and Granny Smiths are all grown here. Indeed, not only does a river run through it here in Spring-ville, so does an apple. You will fi nd many apple or-chards east of Springville along Bear Creek and Balch Park Roads. Among the varieties grown are the Red and Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Gala, Sommerfi eld, and the Arkansas Black. Of these, the Arkansas Black is perhaps the most in-triguing. Large, with extremely dark skin, the Arkansas Black is especially dense and crisp. No

apple has a greater storage qual-ity than this one. Sitting on the counter, the apple’s skin contin-ually darkens, taking on a sheen and an oily texture. This apple is best used blended with other apples as it has a very mild fl a-vor. Ask for the Arkansas Black at Bear Creek Apples, located on the south side of Highway 190 just before entering Springville.

So, which ones make the best pies? There is some debate. Some recipes call for tart ap-ples like Granny Smiths which then require more sugar and a longer baking time. Others call for a blend – choose sev-eral varieties, some tart, some sweet, mix them up and bake. And, others fancy a specifi c variety. Regardless of what you choose, there is nothing

as good an old-fashioned ap-ple pie in the fall to top off a good meal.


Apple orchards in the Springville area .....Fat Tire Classic.....Fat Tire Classic

Want some thrills and chills? Just ask last year’s King and Queen of the Hill, Jeremiah Root and Carol Boland what

it’s like. The Fat Tire Classic mountain bike race offers all the thrills you can take plus a kids race supervised by the CHP. Beck Henry introduced the Fat Tire Classic to the Apple Festival many years ago and it has become the featured event on Sundays with hundreds of participants. The course is a closed 8-mile loop through the scenic Spring-ville Ranch paralleling the Tule River.There are challeng-ing climbs and “spectacular descents” says Beck. See the photo record on Springville.ca.us – Fat Tire Classic. The race recognizes a number of categories from stream-lined mountain bikes to what Beck calls “clydsdales.” If you have a bike and a helmet and want to get a little exercise Sunday morning, just show up at 8 a.m. on Rio Vista to register. The

race is also open to kids 11 and under and registration is FREE! Who will be the King and Queen of the Hill this year? Whoever it is will go home $100 richer. Lots of prizes, fresh air, and excitement – it’s all at the Springville Apple Festival.

Beck says “you’re ‘gonna’ LOVE the downhills.” The course runs through the Sequoia Ranch with a “particularly breathtak-ing descent through Dead Cow Gulch named for the perfect intact skeleton of a cow.”

Apple Run: Introducing people to Springville one step at a time We asked our new race director, Alex Reed-Krase if there are any big changes in the event this year. “No, we are still using the same basic course and have the same categories – the Kids Run, 2-Mile Walk, 5K and 10K. Rick Mitchell has ensured a smooth transition, taking care to make sure I know every detail, and, so I hope it will all appear seamless to our returning runners.” The course runs parallel to the Tule River through the foothills and parts of the beautiful Springville Ranch, a working cattle ranch. “Racers get to see some of the prettiest vistas Springville has to offer” noted Rick last year, and “it draws runners from all over the country as well as local people.” The event kicks off with the Kids Run at 8 a.m. from Rio Vista, just off Bridge Street. Children in four age categories are given 20 minutes to fi nish a ½ mile course. Next comes the 2-Mile Walk, followed by the 5 K and 10K races.

“Entrants do need to pre-register, and we expect a good turnout” Alex tells me. There are lots of prizes from local restaurants and other businesses. Alex wants all the sponsors and donors to know: “I’m very thankful to all who contribute to make this event such a big part of the Apple Festival.”

321,Timothy Braziel of Lindsay, 320, Jack Logan of Bakersfi eld & 311, Jack Soursa of Springville look like they’re giving it their effort!

Hardwork, loyalty, a friend you could always count on, were descriptions from Perry Patterson’s many friends, relatives and acquaintances in Springville and beyond. We lost Perry this year and we sorely miss him. Perry had a hand in every major project in town from the renovation of the Springville Veterans Memorial Park to baking apple pies for the Apple Festival. He was the envoy between the kitchen staff (Springville Mountain Lions) and pie makers (Community Club) and “we ladies just loved him” noted Sue Marcotte. “Ever since I’ve known him, Perry has been telling me he’s too old for this” Sandy Whaling told his friends, “but it was only death that fi nally stopped him from contributing to his beloved Springville community.” Perry, we miss you. We thank his family for lending us this wonderful man for so many years. We are grateful.

Apple Festival T-ShirtsApple Festival T-Shirts The winner of the 2011 T-Shirt De-sign Contest is Anastacia Bogdanoff of Springville, a budding artist and soon to be interior decorator. Anastacia was given a copy of the application by a neighbor and de-cided to jump in. Good thing she did, her “apple village” stole the show! Anastacia recently took up art; but her real passion is interior design. She is currently studying with hopes of launching her business next year. Anastacia says her focus is on “mid-dle and modest income” clients be-cause she says “everybody deserves to love the place they live in.” Within Interior Design, Anastacia plans to emphasize the art of “re-design” in which the major design features like furniture already ex-ist but where painting, rearranging, and repurposing can create a com-pletely new look at budget prices. In addition, she would like to “stage” homes for sale to help clients show-case their homes to their fullest ad-vantage. Although she is still study-ing, Anastacia has done some small jobs in the area for her portfolio and

would welcome your call at 559-380-7228. Anastacia also does some craft work and has hand-crafted leather

bracelets on consignment at the Patton House; so if you’re looking for something unique to spice up the wardrobe, check out her work.

And, it’s a family affair; her sisterIyanna makes aprons, bags, andmiscellaneous sewn items also forsale at the Patton House. Every year since 1980, there hasbeen an offi cial Apple Festival T-Shirt. The design is selected fromoriginal artwork submitted by anarray of artists. T-shirt designs havecome from pre-teens, high school-ers, and adults – even some pro-fessional artists. And, the designextends beyond the offi cial t-shirtsto the offi cial posters and fl yers ofthe Apple Festival. So, if you are abudding artist looking for a project,consider entering the design contestnext year. T-shirts this year were printed byValley Silk Screen who have beenworking with the Apple Festival forseveral years now. Contact SuzanneCollins in Terra Bella.

Anastacia Bogdanoff is the proud winner of the T-Shirt Design Contest.

The Springville Apple Festival is pleased to have the Baby Café with us for a fourth year. The Baby Café is located at Sequoia Dawn near Fam-ily Town and gives nursing moms a quiet, comfortable, private place to care for their infants and overheated, excited toddlers.

The Baby Café is sponsored by the Tulare County Breast Feeding Coali-tion and the LaLeche League. Moms will find fans, changing stations, and comfortable accommodations for breastfeeding infants and caring for toddlers.

The Baby Café also provides edu-cational materials on breastfeeding and health issues concerning infants and small children.


How it all began..How it all began.. A history of the Springville Community Club A history of the Springville Community Club and the Springville Apple Festival and the Springville Apple Festival

The Apple Festival began in 1981 with a handful of booths in the Patton House

parking Lot

It all began with Edna Hann. Returning from the East Coast in the fall of 1981, Edna pitched the idea of having an apple festi-val like one she encountered on her trip. The Springville Com-munity Club thought it was a fi ne idea and the fi rst apple festival was launched six weeks later.

The fi rst Apple Festival was a group of homemade booths in the parking lot in front of the Patton House Gift & Thrift Shop. That year, Community Club members got together at Charles Peach’s home and made pies to sell. Each took some of the pies home to bake and brought them back for the festival. The ladies also sold their handy work.

Every year saw something new added to what became known as

the Springville Apple Festival. Over the years, that small hand-ful of booths grew to over 150. Live entertainment was added in the Park. Margaret Black cre-ated Family Town and it became a major attraction for kids. The Apple Run and Fat Tire Classic became the premier features on Saturday and Sunday. Eagle Mountain Casino jumped in with their support and soon we were able to shuttle visitors from the Rodeo Grounds to town. Each year just seems to get better and better.

Some might ask why an apple festival? When you look around, you see cattle ranches and citrus orchards. But travel a little fur-ther into higher elevations along Balch Park, Bear Creek, and Camp Nelson above Springville

and you will fi nd thriving apple orchards.

So welcome to the 31st An-nual Springville Apple Festival! We hope you have a wonderful time.

Crowded streets of downtown Springville several years ago. It just keeps growing and growing.

StillWater is a local band formed 12 years ago to play classic and folk rock, “everything from the Eagles to the Beattles” says Margie, and it’s the featured music in the Park during the Apple Festival. The group’s members are Margie Scholta, vocalist and percussionist, Rusty Stokes, drummer, Tony Quintel, lead vocalist and guitarist, Landes Dung, vocalist, conga and guitar, and Jeff Webb, base and backup vocalist. Margie notes: “we’re the only band around with three lead vocalists – it makes for some great harmony.”

“All music has a message. We hope when you hear ours, you will fi rst enjoy the music, and second, that it will take you back to some good memories” Margie tells me. We hope you will enjoy it too!

StillWater plays at Concerts in the Park in Springville, and at all kinds of private parties from birthdays to weddings, anniversaries and retirement parties. Margie hopes you “keep us in mind when you plan your next event.” Call them at (559) 740-6149 or e-mail Margie at [email protected].

StillWater will perform through out the weekend. Look for them under the gazebo ♪

.....Family Town.....Family Town

Always a popular fi gure throughout both days of the Apple Festival, let your little ones meet Smokey the Bear.

Long-time volunteer, Mary Blackwell is no stranger to community service. Before she took over Family town, Mary was a member of the P.T.A. and a Girl Scout Troop Leader. “I took over Family Town when the original chair stepped down almost 20 years ago.” Family Town has a combination of kids games, bounce house, and mechanical kiddy rides. “Most of the games I created myself” Mary told me.

They are similar to what you might fi nd at a fair: ring toss, dime toss, skee ball, Apple Toss, and go pick (instead of go fi sh), and apple darts with soft darts. Unlike fairs, though, every kid wins something. Mary buys all the prizes herself and arranges for a company to provide the rides. “I don’t do this for money…the tickets I sell cover the cost of prizes.” Why does she do it? “It’s a fun weekend once everything is set up, and I get positive comments from parents who tell me they appreciate there is something for the kids.” Look for Mary and Family Town at the East end of the village in Sequoia Dawn.
