Ken Baker has for many years scouted out nearly all the exhibitors, demonstrators, presentors and entertainment acts. This year he will be using his wide range of contacts to assist the new festival chairperson Sharon Dettmer in recruiting a wide variety of participants.

Our Programs

Our programs are primarily the Door Village Harvest Festival and support and development of the Township Park, but our bylaws also provide for community and educational pursuits as well. We are approaching the point where the festival site, ( Scipio Township Community Park ) is close to being fully developed. Consequently future efforts will likely be in the area of the two remaining stated objectives. 

The festival is in Scipio Township Park located just two and a half miles southwest of LaPorte, Indiana. Take US Hwy 2 west out of LaPorte to SR 39 south. Turn left and go south one mile to Joliet Road and turn right. Follow the curving road about one and a half miles to Scipio Township Park. You're there ! Enjoy History ! Enjoy a plethoria of agricultural exhibits and antique tractors and farm equipment in the implement field, Grandpa's Barnyard (live animals? yep), and Grandma's Parlor !
