If you're in the mood for a particularly seasonal celebration, Fort Wayne's 46th annual Johnny Appleseed Festival may be what you're looking for. After a year's delay due to COVID-19, this family friendly event will take place Saturday and Sunday, September 18th & 19th at Johnny Appleseed/Archer Park. For a look at the staying power of this beloved festival, WBOI's Julia Meek invited JAF committee member John O'Rourke into the studio to discuss the myriad traditional activities it offers, its namesake, John Chapman and the place it has made for itself in the hearts of the community. WBOI Artcentric is brought to you by WBOI’s own Julia Meek and Ben Clemmer. Our theme music is “Me voy pal campo'' by KelsiCote. Our administrative assistant is Olivia Fletter. Our production assistants are Monica Blankenship, Meihkai Bowers, Steve Mullaney, Kyle Norbeck, Diahmynd Thomas, Mikaela Veltum, and Sydney Wagner.
