In the early days ofour country people livedcloser to the land. Theyfarmed it, they hunted it,they depended on it fortheir very existence.And when those earlysettlers brought in asuccessful harvest, itwas an occasion worthcelebrating.

One such celebrationis the annual HarvestHome Fair in Cheviot. Itbegan in 1806, whenEnoch and Ashsah Car-son settled on 20 acresof Green Township landwith their eight children.When their first harvestwas abundant they in-vited their neighbors togive thanks and, in agrove outside their cab-in, held the first of manyannual “festivals.”

Years later, the GreenTownship AgriculturalSociety was formed tohold the annual festivalon Carson’s ranch from1855 to 1859. After that,the Green TownshipHarvest Home Associa-tion continued the festi-val in Cheviot beginningon Friday, Aug. 17, 1860,until 1939, when thevisionary young men ofthe Kiwanis Club ofCheviot-Westwood tookover the festival.

This first festivalunder their watch wasthe 79th in its history, andthe relationship with theKiwanis Club of Cheviot-Westwood continues tothis day.

Some of the “DisplayExhibits” that first yearwere Vitt and Stermer,Western Hills Press,Rebold Funeral Homeand Wullenweber Mo-tors. The fair was ex-tended to two days in

1940 and three days in1951.

A longer festivalmeant new attendanceand higher proceeds.The $4,028 net profit in1951 enabled the club todevelop the HarvestHome Park baseballdiamonds and lighted

horse show arena. Thesewere the first of manyKiwanis-funded im-provements at the his-toric Harvest Home site.

Today the past iscommemorated with aplaque on the DavisStreet side of the park,recognizing 150 yearsfor the park (1809 to1959) and more informa-tion about the Carsonfamily and the earlyfestivals.

According to FairChairperson Ben Clin-kenbeard: “In the lastcouple of years the Ki-wanis have establishedthe Harvest Home FairAssociation as a 501(c)(3) to preserve the lega-cy of the Harvest HomeFair and the charitablegiving that comes fromthe fair so future gener-ations will continue tobenefit.”

Each year, the Cheviotcommunity turns out tobe part of one of the late-summer traditions on theWest Side – the annualHarvest Home Paradethat kicks off the HarvestHome Fair.

“This is the 55th paradeand the 153rd fair,” ex-plained Dave Backer,parade chair. “The themethis year is ‘Cheviot FireDepartment – 100 YearsOld,’ and we have tworetired Cheviot firechiefs – Don Clark andBill Owens – and the cur-rent chief, Robert Klein,as grand marshals.”Backer is the owner ofDave Backer Auto, anauto collision repair cen-ter and used-car dealer-

ship at 6500 GlenwayAve. in Bridgetown and amember of the Cheviot-Westwood Kiwanis, whosponsor the parade.

The parade takes placeon Thursday. Line upbegins at 5 p.m. and theparade steps off at 6 p.m.The route starts atBridgetown and Harrisonnear Francis and followsHarrison Avenue to a lefton North Bend Road tothe Harvest Home Park.

“The parade is knownfor having a high schoolband in each division,”said Backer. “We alwayshave a $300 prize for bestband, but this year,thanks to an anonymousdonor, we also have a$200 second prize and a$100 third prize.” Otherprizes include $300 forbest float and $300 for

best marching unit. Theparade attracts manylocal bands, businesses,groups and politicians.Registration is free fornonprofits, $75 for eachcommercial entry pervehicle, and $125 forpoliticians with a total ofup to 10 people whomarch. “That’s in incre-ments of 10, so if you onlyhave five people march-ing with you, it’s still$125,” said Backer.

Backer said that theperfect ending of theparade is the openingnight of the fair. “We’llhave special prices onbeer, soda and food, andthere’s no admissioncharge. Plus, if you’re inthe parade, you get freeparking in the park.”There’s also free enter-tainment on Thursday.

Why do some busi-nesses thrive in themidst of a slow economictime?

For Kroner DryCleaners it is due to con-sistent attention to de-tail.

This third-generationfamily-owned businesshas been able to blendthe latest technologywhile maintaining tradi-tional “hands-on” carefor their growing cus-tomer base. Whether it’scaring for a weddinggown for a new bride orhandling business attirefor the sharp-dressedprofessional, Kroner’s

understands the need forpersonal service.

Since its inception in1939, Kroner’s has of-fered pickup and deliv-ery service, which hasexpanded over the yearsto include home andoffice service to all ofwestern Cincinnati andthe Downtown businessdistrict.

Kroner Dry Cleanersholds the distinction ofbeing Cincinnati’s oldestsingle-family-owned drycleaner. For more than73 years Kroner DryCleaners has set thestandard for quality.

“We are fortunate to

have a committed staffand loyal customers. It isour goal to maintaincustomer satisfaction,”says Ray Kroner, compa-ny president.

Kroner admits thereis a certain irony instarting a business in themidst of a depressionand again seeing growthduring an economicrough time.

Kroner’s staff focuseson providing profession-al results with care foryour fabric needs. Fullservice includes: drycleaning, drapery andcomforter cleaning, shirtlaundry, alterations,

area-rug cleaning, wed-ding gown preservationand shoe repair.

Winters FinancialNetwork has been point-ing the way for familiesin the Cincinnati area foralmost 50 years now andwill continue to do so foryears to come.

“I started as a one-man shop with one com-pany,” Winters says. “Wenow have a staff of 11,representing 40 compa-nies.” In fact, eight yearsago the firm outgrew itsCheviot office and movedto their current locationat 5556 Cheviot Road inMonfort Heights.

“Our independentagents are not tied to anyone company,” points outhis son, James WintersJr., “and are able to findthe best fit to meet theneeds of the client.” Win-ters Financial offers anetwork of services toclients: insurance, in-vestments and employeebenefits.

GenX is made up of adiverse and very talentedgroup of musicians,which enables the band toperform a wide variety ofsongs spanning fromRock, Classic or ’80sRock to Country and evenOldies. GenX has strongvocal and music abilitiesalong with a high-energystage show.

The band originatedfrom the aspirations ofDon and Lisa Simpson.They set goals of creatingone of the area’s top pro-duction bands that couldperformmost any type ofmusic.

Another major goalwas to create a concertstyle of sound and light-ing to accompany theband.

After a lot of search-ing, Matt Tellman (drums

and vocals) and Paul Soos(bass and vocals) decidedto join the GenX family.

Lisa Simpson wasdestined to become one ofGenX’s keyboard players.However, GenX stillwasn’t complete. With thechallenges of truly repro-ducing songs they wantedto perform, Don trackeddown Steve Robbins.Steve and Don performedtogether as teenagers andwhen Don told Steve

about the goals of GenX,he decided to come andcheck things out.

At the very first prac-tice, Steve fired off thebeginning the REOSpeedwagon’s “Roll WithThe Changes” on keys;the instant locked-inrhythm created byMattand Paul’s extreme tal-ents helped produce anenergy and excitementthat everyone knew wasgoing to be a great fit.

The Harvest HomeFair and the KiwanisClub of Cheviot-West-wood have been linkedfor the past 73 years.“Kiwanis has been in-volved since 1939,” saidLauren Schmitt Bosse,now in her second year asvice-chair of the fair.“Kiwanis got involved in’39 because the groupthat had been running itsince 1860 was declaringbankruptcy, and its mem-bers were aging. TheKiwanis club was in itssecond year as an organi-zation at that time, and atthe urging of the Kiwanischarter president theclub agreed to take on thefair.”

Kiwanis membersorganize and run the fair,which includes coor-dinating the setup of thevenue, soliciting sponsorsand booth vendors, foodvendors, games, rides,and all the other activ-ities that occur duringthe fair. The entire clubhelps out; in fact, each ofthe club’s 147 members isrequired to volunteer forat least 16 hours duringthe fair. In addition, manymembers are activelyinvolved with the plan-ning efforts throughoutthe year.

“The club has nettedover $2.5 million in prof-its from 73 fairs and hasproudly put that back intothe community, primarilyto youth ventures and to22 major projects totaling$656,000,” said SchmittBosse, Kiwanis Clubmember and director ofdevelopment for the Mer-cy Health Foundation.
