KOKOMO TRIBUNE THURSDAY, SEPT. 16,1999 VITAL STATISTICS Greentown primed for Saturday's Pump Fest The festival is from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. By MM Tribune staff writer GREENTOWN Whether it's pumping iron, or pumping water, the Greentown Main Street Association is getting pumped up for its first Greentown Pump FesL The Pump Fest, which is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday, is the brainchild of Rachel Jenkins, who also publishes the Greentown Grapevine. This is the third year for the fall festival, and the first year it will be known as the Pump FesL The purpose of the festival, sponsored by the Main Street Association, is twofold, Jenkins said. "It's to bring awareness to the community about the existence of the Greentown Main Street Association and to hopefully make a little money for the organization." This year committee members hoped to do something a little different 1 wanJed something a little more interesting. So we threw this idea," Jenkins said of BSiaing it the Pump FesL "31 took ilitfle explaining," Tjoteu 1 she first it-ffnuciht ihe iiclea. 'And I knew have a ipuinp iin (downtown 'Gregntown IBut csnmgh people ramnnibsr iihare wss one amll lullk aiboilt iit igrasi oos- II fihoujjtit tibere ucssl be "flfe (one oil tfbiisE ttitogs wfoere niiniii aai com- was fe something fMs:" Etoe Ikrnec co-chair- rnsa fee weal added "Wye had a lot of community involvement" Turner, Jenkins and Andy Marsh are all co-chairing the evenL "I don't know of another Pump Fest anyplace," Jenkins continued.

Now that word about the new name, it's been amazing of the positive response, Jenkins said. According to Dave Turner, there used to be a town pump on the northwest corner of town that was the meeting place. People who came to Greentown to shop would split up to do their shopping and agree to meet back up again at the town pump. "It was such an integral part of what Greentown was," Jenkins said. People not only remember the Greentown pump but they also remember other pumps in their lives as they were growing up.

"People are so anxious to tell you stories," Jenkins said. Some remember the pump at their grandparent's home and either it was a terrible chore or lots of fun. But Main Street Association members aren't limiting this Pump Fest to those old hand water pumps; the theme has been expanded to include all kinds of different pumps. This year, the Eastern High School football team will even be "pumping" iron during a demonstration. A pump organ will be playing music during the dinner at the Christian Church.

And there will be a collection of old hit and miss pumps on display at the festival downtown. An art show is planned, featuring only pictures of pumps, from gas pumps to water pumps. And for those that want to relive the good old days of pumping water, Fred and Rachel Jenkins will have a pump set up in a half barrel of water that willactu- ally pump water. To get people excited about this year's new theme, Jenkins decided to wander around town taking pictures of old water pumps she saw in people's yards and publish the photographs in the August Grapevine. When she got done, she had 41 photographs of different pumps around town.

She published nine more in the September issue. And there's even more out there she didn't get, she said. "My first thought when I went out on that quest, was we might find a dozen. It's a popular decorating item. Most of them are decorations.

A few are hi their original spot and are still working, but the majority has been placed there as items. They're painted many colors, but mostly black and red. There's a few green or white ones." One person, after the (August issue) brought his pump from the back of thjf hofise and put'it on display in the.frorit of the house. The one-day event will also have a cake walk, a special show and tell of the history of Greentown Glass presented by the National Greentown Glass Association and the Greentown Glass Museum, a pie-baking contest a beef-noodle dinner, a flea market, and communitywide yard sales.

and Grant streets. In case of rain, it will be at the Howard County Fairground, located on the northeast side of Greentown. next year, Jenkins said sheicquld see the festival growing in other directions on the Pump Fest theme. Next year there could be walking tours of the hand pumps in town or a contest of the best-decorated pump. Maybe they will even incorporate the old pump station, which used to pump natural gas to Chicago in next year's festival.

But for this year, they didn't want to bite off more than they could handle, Jenkins said. "We had a reason for the theme, but after that it's becoming what it will be."
