2017 “It means too much really to put into words. You have the family part of it, you have the community part of it, you have the tradition, and when people come to Harvest once they always want to come back. It’s something that stays with you no matter where you go. People travel from faraway places to come back every year.” MARY ARNOLD Harvest Homecoming Vice President of various children events NEW ALBANY’S HOMETOWN MEAT SHOP SINCE 1965 Great selection of Beef, Pork, Chicken, Seafood, Deli Meats and Cheeses “What I get out of it is the giving back. When we talk about family and community, one of the things that is an important part about in a family and community is what you give. About 30 percent of our booths are nonprofits and a lot of them make their entire budget for the year during Harvest Homecoming and that money then, in turn, gets spent in our community for people who need it.” Lunch Served Daily Fresh sandwiches and hot soup available BETH WHITE Harvest Homecoming Vice President of booths Order your FRESH Thanksgiving Turkey Today “I’ve been going to Harvest Homecoming for at least 10 years and I always look forward to the chicken and dumplings!” Now at 3306 Plaza Drive, New Albany 812.945.9893 MICHELLE RYAN New Albany www.KaremsMeats.com
