Festival of Gingerbread:A holiday tradition to build upon

It is no wonder why children love gingerbread housesaround Christmastime. The sweetly decorated treat most

likely made its firstappearance in afairy tale, whenHansel and

Gretel, left tostarve in the

woods,came

upona

house made of sweets from which to feast upon.But the real fun may actually be in making gingerbread

houses rather than eating them, which cannot be said formany baking endeavors.

That is perhaps what is so special about one of FortWaynes favorite holiday events. The Festival of Ginger-bread at the History Center brings individuals andfamilies from all over the community together in acommon goal: to make the most impressive gingerbreadhouse on the block, in hopes of winning the top prize.

The first Festival of Gingerbread was in 1985 andstarted as a modest event that allowed the History Centerto raise funds and provide the community with a family

activity during the holiday season.Its always been a great family event, exciting and

festive, but in the early years, there were only a fewdozen houses. We have grown enormously since thattime, said Todd Pelfrey, executive director at the HistoryCenter.

In just the last two years, the History Center has seenrecord-breaking attendance at its Festival of Gingerbread- first in 2009 with more than 10,000 people, and lastyear, with more than 11,000 in attendance. The goal thistime around is to exceed 12,000 visitors.

In its 26th year, organizers expect that around 120houses will be entered by individuals, school districts,

businesses and other organizations. It really isrepresentative of the community, Pelfrey said.All proceeds collected are used to fulfill theHistory Centers mission of preserving andsharing the communitys unique history and

building.The Festival of Tree

events include eight daysof family-friendly festivi-ties, starting on Nov. 23.On that night, downtownFort Wayne will havetheir Night of Lights,ceremonies and theEmbassy will debut theirHarrison Street Windows.

The windows will featuremechanical elves.

Poffenberger said theelves were acquired froma Cincinnati departmentstore. The store wasgetting rid of the elves,but employees from theEmbassy drove to pickthem up. They were in theattic for a few years,before Fort Wayne Metalsapproached the theatREabout fixing them up,because they were areminder of the old Wolfand Dessauer Department

store window displaysthat used to be downtown.We said sure and we

looked at those animatedwindows as our gift todowntown, she said.

The elf display hasevolved into showcasingthe adventures of a char-acter named Oscar.

He has an adventureevery year, where he ulti-mately saves Christmas,Poffenberger said. Thisyear, Santa has thehiccups. If he cant get ridof the hiccups, he wontbe able to drive the sleigh.

Oscar has to go on theadventure and find a solu-tion to Santas hiccups.

Another interactiveelement will exist to getaudience participation insolving the hiccups.

There are a little morethan 50 trees that will beon display this year forthe main event. Each issponsored by a differentcompany or individuals.Some sponsors decoratetheir trees or florists andinterior design companiesstep in and lend their

talents to the cause.In addition to theunique lemonade andLego trees, Poffenbergersaid that some of the othertrees are patriotic anddisplay local sports teamslike the Mad Ants,Komets and Tincaps,while some are moretechnical in nature.

In the hotel lobby, wehave five live trees. Thereis the alternative energytree. Patrons ride a bicyclethat is hooked up to LED

powered lights. Its alearning opportunity, shesaid.

The live trees are spon-sored by I&M. Havinglive trees has became atradition for the Embassy.All are decorated by local,non-profit organizations.

On the second floor ofthe Indiana Hotel, a

boardroom will play hostto Santa Land. This isa child wonderland oftoys and trees. Santa andMrs. Claus are thereduring the entire festival,Poffenberger said.

Phils Hobby Shop willalso be available to helpkids make paper airplanesfor a special paperairplane tree in SantaLand.

While there will be avariety of different trees,Poffenberger said she isexcited about Thrivent

Communitys Star Warsthemed tree. With theoverall theme of thefestival being Let itSnow, decorators mustincorporate the three wordstatement into the tree orthe project title.

It all wraps intogether, she said. A lotof the decoratorsresponses will wrap thattheme in.

For a few days duringthe Festival of Trees,dance groups will performevery hour. Poffenbergersaid there will be many

children performing theirholiday recitals on theclassical stage. There isonly one other eventwhere people can be onthe stage during thefestivalBreakfast withSanta. Sponsored byMacys and catered byArbys, the event will takeplace at a special ticketprice outside of theregular admission costs.

On Thanksgiving Day,the festivities will featureperformances on theGrand Page Organ, which

has much history behindit, dating back to whenthe Embassy was firstbuilt in 1928. The grandpage can make the soundsof an entire orchestra.

They needed accompa-niment with the silentfilms, Poffenberger said.There are 1100 pipesthat run behind the walls.

The festival will end onNov. 30. For more infor-mation, visit www.fwembassytheatre.org.

(ALLEN COUNTY) The nationwide creditcrisis may have turned the Americandream into an extended nightmare formany Indiana home buyers and sellers.

Banks and mortgage lenders (who arenot going out of business) have tightened uptheir lending requirements to the pointwhere many home buyers today can nolonger qualify for a mortgage.Record foreclosures, rising unemployment,losses in the financial markets and thecurrent credit crunch have not only reducedthe number of buyers who can buy but havealso increased the number of houses thatsellers need to sell.Prices are under pressure as home sellerslower their asking price to attract a buyer,and as lenders resell their foreclosed homesbelow market value.

And its turning into a vicious cycle --as many buyers need to sell their currenthome first -- and many sellers (unless theyplan to rent) need new financing to get intotheir next home. As a result, a sea of realestate agents, mortgage brokers and homebuilders are going out of business. Theseprofessionals are in the business of servingbuyers and sellers. But thats hard to dowith the credit crisis when the entire realestate industry traditionally relies onmortgage lending to finance buyers and gethouses sold.

What can homeowners do to sell theirhomes? How can buyers get financing if

they cant meet the tougher lending criteriaon credit scores, income verification, downpayment amounts and debt ratios?

Theres one local real estate profes-sional who has found a way to makethings work even with the present bank-ing crisis. Mike MacDonald is the presidentof Summit City Investments, Inc. Since1999, his private investment company hasbeen buying houses throughout the AllenCounty, IN region without ever relying onbanks.

MacDonalds company takes overexisting mortgages or brings in privatelenders allowing him to pay homeownersall cash for the properties. He then offers hisproperties for rent or for sale by ownerusing a variety of unique seller financing

programs.By taking a long term approach and

never relying on banks, business has neverbeen better for MacDonald and hiscompany.

Mike says its normal for people to

think they must be desperate before callinghim to buy their house. Its a very commonmisconception. But until I look at a houseand do some research, I wont know mygame plan for the property or what I canoffer. But after a single visit to the propertyand meeting with the homeowners I can letthem know exactly what I can do. My offeris good for 7 days and its only at that point,with my offer on the table, that a seller candecide if Im going to become their buyer.

In fact, price is not an issue forMacDonald. As an investor, whats impor-tant to him is the determination of whatincome the property can produce. Its easyto determine. I also do an appraisal andlook at the recent comparable sales. Then Ido whatever I can to offer a seller up to full

price today -- or about what they might netsometime in the future pursuing a moreconventional route. What I can pay dependson the condition, location and financingoptions available for that type of property.

It only takes about 10 minutes to prescreena property over the phone and to set anappointment. We typically buy 1 out ofevery 4 properties we see. In fact, for abouthalf of those I have purchased, the seller

pursued their other options and then cameto realize that my offer was the best allalong. MacDonald believes the three biggestreasons a house doesnt sell are: 1) it isoverpriced, 2) it is poorly marketed, or 3) it

is not fixed up to show well. I can pay a fair price on a home that needs work. Imight even plan to increase the value or

marketability by adding abedroom or bath, finishing abasement or installing a newheating system. Brand new carpetand paint will go a long way toattract a qualified buyer. But Iunderstand that many sellersdont have the time, inclination ormoney to remodel a house... just toget it sold. We solve that problem

for sellers. Overpricing a homecould be the biggest mistake.Listing agents sometimes suggest(or a seller might decide) to ask fora higher price than needed. This

might be to test the market or leave wiggleroom to negotiate. However, this canbackfire if the seller wants (or needs) aquick sale, or when the days on themarket stacks up causing buyers to wonderwhats wrong with the property.

Another misconception about howMike MacDonald buys houses is the ideathat hes probably looking for sellers infinancial distress. Look, when a seller isout of time or out of options, then Imusually their best solution -- if their

property is not over-financed. But most people headed for foreclosure are eitheroverleveraged or actually looking to savetheir house. If I buy the house the seller

must move. They really need to get into amore affordable home... but sometimes Ican help by swapping properties.

MacDonald warns about companies andreal estate investors who target distressedhomeowners. Recent laws have been

passed in Indiana that apply to any businessand investor who targets people in foreclo-sure. Be cautious, do your research and

perhaps seek legal advice when anyonewants to charge you an upfront fee forhelping to get your loan modified, or... iftheyre promising to lease the home back to

you. That rarely works out like theborrower expects and can lead to accusa-tions of fraud. Perhaps rightly so. What does a real estate investor like

Mike MacDonald do with the houses hebuys each month? What about thehundreds of houses his company has boughtthroughout Allen County, Indiana over thelast 11 years? Simple. He rents them out orresells them. Were usually managing 50to 60 properties at any given time -- makingus one of the largest owners of single familyhomes in the area. Each month we mayhave 5 to 10 houses for sale. Some weveowned for years and others we haverecently bought.

With a reasonable down payment,MacDonald says he can sell you one of hisproperties using his popular owner financ-ing programs -- even if you have damagedcredit or a short job history.

His most popular owner financingprogram includes the opportunity tobuild sweat equity. Before repairing orremodeling a newly acquired house,MacDonald offers it in as-is condition tohis buyers list. This allows his client to dothe work (to suit their own preferences) inexchange for all or part of a down payment.

I have a lot of buyers who check mywebsite each week looking for these fixerupper deals. But if the home is not undercontract within 10 days or so then Ill hiremy contractors to fix it up completely. His next most popular program is adown payment assistance plan. Manybuyers turn to MacDonalds companybecause they dont have the down paymentrequired by todays cautious lenders. Mikehelps buyers build up equity or a downpayment over time with his rent-to-own (orlease with the option to buy) program. Inthis program you can rent the propertyyouve decided to buy, but have the optionto close anytime over the next 1, 2... or even5 years. A portion of the rent each month iscredited toward buying. Additionalamounts can be paid monthly for morerapid equity build up plus other promisedamounts can be made later... like proceedsfrom the sale of another property or apending tax refund.

Once the buyer has enough skin inthe deal, MacDonald can close withowner financing at the predetermined,mutually agreed upon price and terms. Orthe buyer can close with a new bank loan.According to MacDonald, There are somany reasons my buyers like some timebefore qualifying for a mortgage. They mayneed to sell their house, work on theircredit, establish more time on a job orestablish two years of provable income ontax returns when self-employed. All our

buyers are put in touch with a sharpmortgage broker who creates a plan forthem. We can recommend an affordablecredit repair company that can do unbeliev-

able things given even a short 6 to 12months to work on a file. This also helps outsome sellers who have found themselves inover their head. We do everything we can to get ourbuyers permanent bank financing. Its awin-win because we pay sellers all cash and

fund our deals with private lenders. Ourlenders are mostly local individuals seekingalternatives to low bank CD rates. Theyearn 8 to 10% interest on real estate noteswell-secured by our properties. When weget our buyer cashed out, we finally makeour money and can payoff our investor.These investors usually want to reinvestallowing us to buy even more houses.

Unfortunately many of the mortgageprograms once available are now gone. Itsreported that 75% of the available lendingdisappeared when FHA changed their ruleslast October and again early this year. But,if you have money to put down and canprove your income, there are still loansavailable now. In fact, some rural develop-ment loans and VA loans still allow quali-fied buyers to borrow with no money down. We help all of our buyers get a bankloan as quickly as possible... or we financethem ourselves. But weve never relied onbanks. That keeps us in control and main-tains our sanity. But we get those loansdone every chance we get. In fact, some-times a buyer can qualify and doesnt evenknow it. Other times they can qualify but

need a flexible seller. Were one of the mostcreative and flexible sellers youll ever

find, says MacDonald. Does buying or selling a home have tobe difficult? Maybe not!

President Obama says today'seconomy is the worst since the Great

Depression and it may take many years torecover. Unfortunately I think hes rightand so do many sharp economists. Interested in selling your propertyquickly and easily?

New program available forsituational homelessness

The Rescue Missionhas added a new, short-term program for menand women. The programis for people who areexperiencing situational(rather than generational)homelessness and

poverty, a press state-ment said. The Missionhas also re-structuredsome of its ministries andservices to meet needsmore effectively.

The Rescue Missionremains committed tomeeting the growing

needs of our community,said Donovan Coley,CEO and Senior Pastor.

According to the state-ment, last year, theMission served morethan 216,000 meals to thehomeless and hungry.

It was a 12 percentincrease from theprevious year.

The re-structuring ofkey services is largelydue to the economy.

Economic conditionshave led to recordnumbers of homeless and

impoverished individualsseeking the services ofThe Rescue Mission,Coley said. We havenever had a demand thisgreat, but The RescueMission has made keychanges within our

organization that allowour funds to go farther,so we can still respond toour communitys needs.For more information orto make a donation, visitwww.therescuemission.net.

weekly trade re-adjustment allowancesmay be payable to el igible workersfollowing the exhaustion of employmentinsurance benefits.

Additionally, DOL issued a certifica-tion for Re-employment TradeAdjustment Assistance (RTAA) for sepa-rated older workers at the Fort Waynefacility. It was found that a significant

number of workers at the company age 50and over possess skills that are not easilytransferable and that competitive condi-tions within the industry are adverse.

Older workers may choose betweenregular TAA benefits or a wage subsidyof 50 percent of the difference betweentheir new salary and old salary, up to$12,000.

heritage.Some of Pelfreys

favorite entries aresubmitted by the festivalsyoungest participants.You can tell a lot ofeffort and fun went intodeveloping or creatingthose entries. They reallyare just amazing creations.Its (also) really neat to be

able to see folks who haveentered for decades. Welook forward to seeingtheir creations each year.

The festival is not onlythe History Centerslongest-runningfundraising event of theyear, but also provides asubstantial amount offunding that Pelfrey saidhas contributed to theorganization staying in theblack financially, whilesome other nonprofitswere not as lucky.

I also think that the

past several years, withthe economy being chal-lenging as it has been,folks were looking forlocal attractions and thefestival not only fulfillsthat, but our corporate in-kind sponsors have beenable to maintain admis-

sion (prices) for theevent, Pelfrey said.

Gingerbread houses areentered by individuals andgroups in the followingage categories: Pre-K toage 2, ages 3-6, teen,adult, family, and profes-sional. Cash prizesranging from $20-$300are awarded to the top

three entries in each cate-gory.

The History Center willcharge its regular admis-sion fees for visitors totake in hundreds ofhouses at the festival fromNov. 25-Dec. 11. Festivalhours are Monday throughThursday from 9 a.m. to 5p.m.; Fridays from 9 a.m.to 8 p.m.; Saturdays from9 a.m. to 5 p.m; andSundays from noon to 5p.m.

With title andpresenting sponsorships

provided by LutheranHealth Network andIndiana-Michigan Power,respectively, the HistoryCenters Festival ofGingerbread is able toprovide a night of freeadmission on Tuesday,Nov. 29, from 5 to 9 p.m.

They will be closed onThursday, Nov. 24, toobserve the Thanksgivingholiday.

There are severalfamily-fun activities thatwill take place at theHistory Center inconjunction with thefestival. A complete

schedule of events isavailable at our website,www.fwdailynews.com.

Just like piling in thecar to look at twinklingneighborhood lights, orthe Santa Claus lightdisplay downtown, fami-lies can think of the

sweetly-scented houses atthe Festival of Ginger-bread as another way totake in holiday decora-tions this year.

The houses should begreat and the HistoryCenter staff are just asexcited to see what rollsthrough the doors this

year as the generalpublic, Pelfrey said.
