“New + Fort Wayne” Photo Contest Highlights— Visit the post on our blog (link in bio) to see all 8 of our favorite entries. Congratulations to @MeganHevel for her winning shot! 🔝 Our photo contest theme was open for interpretation, but we were hoping for new scenes, new perspectives, and seeing what is new in this city for you. 🔲 Megan's simple black and white photo really struck a chord with us. A fresh layer of perfectly white snow, laid out before a pair of feet, ready for forward motion—for whatever the new year may hold. The future is a blank slate upon which we can build anything we desire. 🏆 Thank you to all the participants, your photos made us smile, and gives us all a wider outlook on this city we call home. 🙏🏼 Special thanks to @HT2FortWayne for sponsoring this contest. *If you’d like to sponsor a contest, collaborate on a project, or shoot a promo video, send us a message. We love to shine a spotlight on local businesses and fellow entrepreneurs.* #FortWayne #DasFort (at Fort Wayne, Indiana)

The Fort Falls For Johnny Appleseed #tbt (link in bio) 🍎 🍏 "At the Johnny Appleseed Festival, you can expect to see pioneer men cooking kettle corn over an open fire, making the air smell just as sweet as those little kernels. The bees are buzzing around the barrels of the homemade sassafras and root beer while the marching band winds their way through the festival. Get a feel for the pioneer way with the antique section and watch pioneer women make thread on a spinning wheel. Everything at the festival is done just how it was during the old days; there are no electric stoves, microwaves, or refrigerators. Sit on bales of hay and watch pioneer men, women, and children make homemade chicken n’ dumplings in iron pots and sneak in some sugary and crunchy apple crisp. It is a perfect festival for a fall day with the family. We’ll meet you there, hopefully with pockets full of pumpkin cakes and mouths full of hams and beans (with a side of cornbread, of course)." 🍏 🍎 _________ #JohnnyAppleseedFestival: September 17th & 18th #FortWayne #DasFort #FallFlowers #🌻 #Sunflower #WildFlower #🌸 #🍏 #🍎 (at Johnny Appleseed Festival)
