The slogan remains true today. As well as âThe state celebrates what Kendallville grows!â
That is true about our Apple Festival of Kendallville â which has, indeed, attracted out-of-state visitors. And possibly, someday it will be true for the Indiana Peony Festival hosted by Noblesville May 22. Due to its success, Noblesville expects the Indiana Peony Festival to become an annual event.
Honored at the first Indiana Peony Festival with a proclamation were the grandchildren of Laurence D. Baker.
The proclamation reads, in part:
WHEREAS, Laurence and Frances Baker started their peony business in 1925 in Kendallville, launching a second farm in 1939 in Bloomington, and a third in 1955 in Corydon; and
