42nd Annual Molasses Festival
At Arnoldsburg's West Fork Park
Don Mace of Cottageville and Alan Ball and Ron Shaffer of Frozen Camp
are shown with some of the sugar cane raised for processing at the
Molasses Festival.
The making of sweet molasses always starts with the "squeezin's" going
in one end of the pan and, after careful boiling and skimming, coming
out the other end as the product we all love to pour on pancakes and
biscuits. Pictured above are, left to right, Dip Mace, Kenny Arnold and
Vier Hall.
