ETNA GREEN - Residents and visitors can take a step back in time Saturday when Old Fashion Daze gets under way in Etna Green.

The art of pie baking, 50-cent foods, big band music and an outdoor movie will be enjoyed by those in attendance. This celebration replaces the annual Customer Appreciation Days and is scheduled to take place every September. Unless otherwise noted, all events take place at Remembrance Park.

Judges will cut into an unknown number of pies for the pie-baking contest at 10:30 a.m. Anyone may enter the contest sponsored by Farmers State Bank. Pies must be delivered to the bandstand by 10 a.m. to be eligible for judging.

Beginning at 11 a.m., food will be served for 50 cents per item. Choices include chili, hot dogs, soda, pie and ice cream.

From noon until 2 p.m., the Robert Lynn Group will perform at the bandstand. The band will play three half-hour sessions of big band music.

There will be prize giveaways at noon, 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Participants can register at the park and must be present to win. Also, the Jr. ONO Club will raffle a Longaberger basket.

The Etna Township Volunteer Fire Department will host a fish fry beginning at 4 p.m. at the Heritage Park building.

Back at Remembrance Park, a "Little Rascals-type" movie will be presented at dark. [[In-content Ad]]
