HI, I'M DAVE SHUFFETT,

WELCOME TO KENTUCKY LIFE

THIS TIME WE'RE GOING

ON A DELICIOUS JOURNEY

TREATS FOR ALL THE SENSES

WE'LL TAKE TIME TO APPRECIATE

THE PEOPLE OF OUR STATE

THROUGH THE EYES

OF A PHOTOGRAPHER

WHO EXPERIENCED

THEIR DAILY LIVES

THE COMMONWEALTH'S FAMOUS CRAFTS

AND THOSE HOW CREATE THEM

TAKE CENTER STAGE

IN OUR SECOND STORY

AND THE TRULY DELICIOUS THINGS

THAT CAN COME OUT

OF A KENTUCKY KITCHEN

WILL BE OUR FINAL SWEET SUBJECT

FIRST, LET ME TAKE YOU

TO MEET WARREN BRUNNER

A BEREA PHOTOGRAPHER WHO SPENT

NEARLY 50 YEARS BEHIND THE LENS

HIS SOMETIMES ASTONISHING IMAGES

REVEAL SOMETHING ABOUT

THE APPALACHIAN PEOPLE

THERE'S BEAUTY AND

DIGNITY IN THE MOUNTAINS

IF YOU JUST TAKE A LOOK

(Playing "Simple Gifts")

I WAS IN... AT THIS HOLINESS

CHURCH, RIGHT HERE

NEAR BEREA

AND I JUST WAS SITTING

IN THE BACK OF THE CHURCH

AND PIDDLING WITH MY CAMERA

BUT I HAD IT SET

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN

THERE IT WAS

THAT SNAKE WAS UP OVER THE

TOP OF THE PREACHER'S HEAD

YOU KNOW, AND I DIDN'T EVEN

KNOW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN

OR WHERE IT CAME FROM

BUT ALL I HAD TO DO WAS

RAISE MY CAMERA AND SHOOT

YOU DON'T FOCUS, YOU DON'T

THINK ABOUT PICTURES

YOU THINK ABOUT CAPTURING

THE SPIRIT OF THE MOMENT

(Playing "Simple Gifts")

DOING LOYAL JONES' BOOK

THAT WAS SORT OF EXCITING

IT WAS A HARD TIME

PICKING OUT THE PICTURES

BUT UH, BUT WE GOT IT DONE,

I GAVE HIM A BIG PILE

WELL, WARREN WOULD ARRIVE

WITH ABOUT 3,000, UH...

35 MILLIMETER PAGE PROOFS

YOU KNOW, THAT YOU NEED THE

MAGNIFYING GLASS TO LOOK AT

AND I NEVER COULD DEAL WITH THAT

BUT WHEN UH, HE RETIRED

HE CAME TO ME ONE DAY AND SAID

"YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT

ALL THESE EXTRA PRINTS

"OF THE KIND OF PICTURES I TOOK

OUT THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS

"UH, WHILE I WAS DOING

ALL THOSE THINGS

AND UH, MAYBE YOU'D

LIKE TO LOOK AT THOSE."

WELL, IT SO HAPPENED I'D

WRITTEN UH, UH AN ESSAY

THAT WAS SUPPOSED

TO BE A POSITIVE VIEW

OF APPALACHIAN CULTURE

AND APPALACHIAN VALUES

AND SOMEBODY HAD TOLD ME

úWELL, THAT'D MAKE A

PRETTY GOOD PICTURE BOOK'

SO I SAID, "AHA"

SO I SAID, "BRING THEM OVER"

WELL HE BROUGHT

OVER MAYBE 2-- 200

200 OR 300 UH, PRINTS, YOU KNOW

AND I WENT THROUGH THOSE

AND I GOT TO THINKING

ABOUT THE, THE VALUES

I'D TALKED ABOUT

LIKE OF RELIGION,

OF UH, INDEPENDENCE

OF PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS,

YOU KNOW AND OF FAMILY

ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT UH,

THAT I THOUGHT WERE GOOD UH

EXAMPLES OF APPALACHIAN PEOPLE

UH, HE HAD PICTURES THAT

SORT OF ILLUSTRATED THAT

SO I PICKED OUT 90-SOME OF THESE

UH, PICTURES THAT

WARREN HAD TAKEN

AND THEY'RE WONDERFUL PICTURES

AS EVERYBODY KNOWS

AND UH, SORT OF

REWROTE THE ESSAY

INTO A KIND OF PICTURE BOOK

I'M VERY PROUD OF IT AND

I THINK WARREN IS TOO

BECAUSE IT SHOWS SOME

OF HIS BEST PICTURES

(Music playing)

Brunner:

SO WE MAINLY CONCENTRATED

ON PORTRAITS

SOME OF THOSE PICTURES

WERE 30 YEARS OLD

AND I HAD TO GO FIND EACH

ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE

AND ASK THEM IF WE COULD

USE THEIR PICTURE

SO THAT WAS AN

EXPERIENCE IN ITSELF

AND THEN THE EXCITING PART

AND WE WERE GOING UP ONE ROAD

AND THERE WERE A

WHOLE BUNCH OF KIDS

OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

AND, AND UH, THEY HAD A BOY

WAY UP IN THE TOP OF A TREE

OVER THE ROAD

AND HE COULDN'T GET DOWN

AND THEY WERE SCARED

AND THEIR MOTHER WAS

COMING AFTER THEM

AND SO I DROVE MY VAN UP

TURNED AROUND AND CAME BACK

AND I PARKED

UNDERNEATH THAT TREE

AND THAT BOY DROPPED OUT

OF THAT TREE AND LIFTED UH

LANDED ON THE VA-

THE ROOF OF MY VAN

(Laughing)

AND JUMPED DOWN

AND SO WE GOT TO TALKING

TO HIM AND I SAID

I SAID, "WE'RE LOOKING

FOR THIS FAMILY?"

I SAYS, "DO YOU KNOW THEM?"

AND HE SAYS, "OH, SURE"

HE SAYS, "THAT'S MY GRANDPA"

OR "MY PAPAW" AS YOU

WOULD SAY IN THE MOUNTAINS

BUT THAT WAS DIVINE GUIDANCE

(Singing)

I'VE BEEN TAKING APPALACHIAN

PICTURES NOW FOR 48 YEARS

I FIGURED IT UP THE OTHER DAY

SINCE I'VE RETIRED

THEN I REALLY BECAME A

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER

I'D LIKE TO THINK

AND I GOT PILES AND

PILES OF PICTURES

OF SCATTERED THINGS

BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

I HAD A CHANCE JUST

TO STAY FIVE YEARS

ON ONE PROJECT

AND WEAVE THINGS TOGETHER

TO, TO FORM THIS

MOUNTAIN HOLINESS BOOK

SO, IN DOING THIS BOOK

IN FIVE YEARS WE GOT

TO KNOW THE PEOPLE

WE ATE WITH THEM

WE DID EVERYTHING TOGETHER

AND WE BECAME MORE

LIKE PARTICIPANTS

INSTEAD OF JUST AN OBSERVER

I READ IN A BOOK ONE TIME THAT

EVERY PHOTOGRAPHER

NEEDS A COLLABORATOR

AND THAT'S WHAT DEBORAH

McCAULEY BECAME

SHE WAS MY COLLABORATOR

SHE TAUGHT ME TO SEE

ALL KINDS OF THINGS

IN LITTLE INSIGNIFICANT THINGS

THAT I WOULD HAVE NEVER

NOTICED IN A CHURCH

LIKE, LIKE MAYBE THE OLIVE

OIL BOTTLE ON THE ALTAR

OR OVER IN A CORNER WAS

A PAN FOR FOOT WASHING

IN ANOTHER CORNER WAS

A ROLL OF TOILET PAPER

TO TAKE TO THE OUTHOUSE

IT'S SO MANY LITTLE THINGS

WE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW

WHAT I HAD UNTIL WE GOT

BACK HOME

AS YOU LOOK AT THESE PICTURES

WE TRIED TO SEE DIFFERENT

THINGS IN EACH CHURCH

THAT WERE ALIKE

AND WE, WE CONCENTRATED

ON THE COMMON THINGS

AND REPETITION, RATHER

THAN THE DIFFERENCES

AND ONE... LIKE WE

WENT INTO A CHURCH

WE WOULD ALWAYS SEE LEONARD'S

LAST SUPPER ON THE WALL

AND THEN WE LOOKED AT

THE LAYOUT OF THE PEWS

AND THE LOCATION OF THE CROSS

AND... HOW THEY

PUT UP THEIR SIGNS

AND THE TYPE OF WINDOWS AND

THE TYPE OF SHUTTERS THEY HAD

Jones:

WHILE HE HAD A BUSINESS

LIKE MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS

IN THIS COUNTRY

OF, OF TAKING WEDDINGS PICTURES

AND DEBUTANTE PICTURES AND UH

YOU KNOW, ALL KINDS OF

ANNIVERSARIES AND HAPPENINGS

YOU KNOW, THAT HE GOT PAID FOR

HE ALSO HAD HIS EYES

OUT FOR THE GOOD PICTURE

WHEREVER HE WAS

AND TAKE PICTURES, BUT WARREN

WOULD SOMETIMES JUST HITCHHIKE

YOU KNOW, LEAVE HIS CAR AT HOME

BECAUSE THEN HE WAS DEPENDENT

ON WHOEVER PICKED HIM UP

YOU KNOW, MAYBE GOING

INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY

DOWN 421

AND HE WOULD UH, MAYBE

GO HOME WITH THESE PEOPLE

AND UH, AND TAKE THEIR PICTURES

AND TAKE PICTURES

OF THE SURROUNDINGS

AND DO ALL THAT SORT OF THING

(Playing "Simple Gifts")

I HOPE THESE ARE, ARE A

FORM OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION

AND THEY SORT OF EVOKE

AN EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE

IN THE PEOPLE THAT LOOK AT THEM

AS THE SAME EMOTIONAL

EXPERIENCE I HAD TAKING THEM

GOT IT

(Playing "Simple Gifts")

WIND THE FILM

AND I'M READY

LET'S GO EAT

WARREN CAPTURED ONE OF THE

MOST SPECTACULAR PHOTOGRAPHS

OF HIS CAREER IN THE MOUNTAINS

AND IT WAS OF A TINY, QUIET

WOMAN NEAR THE TOWN OF JENKINS

HE CALLS IT HIS "SECRET MISSION"

BECAUSE HIS SUBJECT WANTED

TO KEEP HER VISIT QUIET

SHE HAD COME TO KENTUCKY

TO CHECK ON THE MISSION

SHE HAD ESTABLISHED

THE MISSIONARIES OF CHARITY

SHE WAS OF COURSE, NONE

OTHER THAN MOTHER TERESA

WELL, OUR NEXT PIECE

EXPLORES HOW THE CRAFTS

KENTUCKY IS SO FAMOUS FOR

MAKE THEIR WAY

INTO THE OUTER WORLD

THROUGH THE KENTUCKY

CRAFT MARKETING PROGRAM

MANY ARTISTS AND CRAFTSPEOPLE

ARE ABLE TO REACH FOLKS

THEY NEVER WOULD BEFORE

LET'S LEARN ABOUT THE PROGRAM

AND FOLLOW ONE

BEATTYVILLE COUPLE

WHOSE WOODEN CREATIONS

ARE A NEW YORK HIT

(Music playing)

KENTUCKY CRAFT MARKETING UH,

HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 20 YEARS

WE WERE ESTABLISHED DURING THE

JOHN Y. BROWN ADMINISTRATION

HIS WISE, WIFE-- PHYLLIS

SAW THE VALUE OF MARKETING

KENTUCKY CRAFTS BOTH

WITHIN THE STATE AND BEYOND

AND THE CRAFT INDUSTRY IS A

MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS

SO OUR JOB WITHIN

CRAFT MARKETING

IS TO PROMOTE BOTH

THE CRAFTSPEOPLE

AND TO WORK WITH THE RETAILERS

SO THAT THEY HAVE READY

ACCESS TO THE PRODUCTS

THAT ARE BEING PRODUCED

WE ARE HERE IN

COMPLETELY KENTUCKY

IT'S A RETAIL SHOP

IN DOWNTOWN FRANKFORT

THEY HAVE BEEN THE

RECIPIENT OF SEVERAL

RETAIL OF THE YEAR AWARDS

UH, THEY RECEIVED THAT

AWARD THROUGH NOMINATIONS

FROM THE CRAFTSPEOPLE

THAT THEY DEAL WITH

SO IT'S A RECOGNITION

THAT THEY UH, CONDUCT

FAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES

AND THAT THEY DO A GOOD JOB

OF SELLING KENTUCKY CRAFTS

UH, IT'S PROBABLY ONE

OF THE VERY FEW STORES

IN KENTUCKY THAT ONLY MARKET OR

ONLY SELL KENTUCKY MADE PRODUCTS

THERE'S NOTHING BEYOND

KENTUCKY WITHIN UH, THE STORE

(Music playing)

NEW CRAFTS PEOPLE ARE EVALUATED

BY WHAT IS CALLED A "JURY"

OR A QUALIFIED SET OF JUDGES

AND 30 TO 50 NEW ARTISTS

ARE ADDED EACH YEAR

OVER 300 CRAFTSPEOPLE

ARE NOW REPRESENTED

BY THE CRAFT MARKETING PROGRAM

AND ALL OF THESE

JURIED PARTICIPANTS

ARE THEN UH, PART

OF THE PROGRAM

AND IT ALLOWS THEM TO USE THE

KENTUCKY CRAFT MARKETING LOGO

AND UH, IT IS A

REGISTERED TRADEMARK

THAT IS A SYMBOL

OF GOOD CRAFTSMANSHIP

AND IT'S, IT'S PRETTY MUCH

RECOGNIZED AROUND THE WORLD

SO THAT'S QUITE A PLUS

WE DO OUR ANNUAL

MARKET IN LOUISVILLE

UH, EVERY UH, FEBRUARY/MARCH

AND UH, WE BRING

IN TOP RETAILERS

FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES

UH, WE HAVE

APPROXIMATELY 150 BOOTHS

OF NOT JUST CRAFTSPEOPLE

BUT ALSO OUR MARKET INCLUDES

UH, THE AUTHORS OF KENTUCKY

KENTUCKY FOOD PRODUCTS

AND MUSIC THAT'S BEING

PRODUCED IN KENTUCKY

SO IT'S REALLY KIND

OF AN OPPORTUNITY

FOR BOTH WHOLESALE AND RETAIL

BUYERS TO COME AND EXPERIENCE

EVERYTHING THAT

KENTUCKY HAS TO OFFER

IN THE GIFT INDUSTRY, I THINK

WOULD BE A GOOD

WAY TO DESCRIBE IT

ONE ASPECT OF THE KENTUCKY

UH, CRAFT MARKETING PROGRAM

IS THAT WE TAKE A VARIETY

OF CRAFTSPEOPLE TWICE A YEAR

TO NEW YORK TO THE NEW YORK

INTERNATIONAL GIFT FAIR

AND UH, THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY

FOR CRAFTSPEOPLE

THAT HAVE AN

ESTABLISHED BUSINESS

THAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCED

IN WHOLESALE TO GO AND UH

DEAL WITH ABOUT 45,000

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS

THAT COME AND THEY PLACE

ORDERS WITH THE CRAFTSPEOPLE

FOR SOME OF THE CRAFTSPEOPLE

THAT'S THEIR ANNUAL INCOME

UH, THAT'S THE BIG SHOW THEY DO

AND THEY TAKE ORDERS

THAT WILL SUSTAIN THEM

OVER THE PERIOD OF A YEAR

(Music playing)

IF IT IS IN FACT

A SMALL BUSINESS

THAT NEEDS TO GROW

WE OFFER THEM THE OPPORTUNITY

TO GO TO NEW YORK

AND MARKET THEIR WARES

UH, IN A WORLD MARKET

ONE EXAMPLE OF A COMPANY

THAT'S BEEN SELECTED BY THE

CRAFTS MARKETING PROGRAM

TO MAKE THE TREK TO NEW YORK

IS AARDVARK WOODWORKS

(Music playing)

CHARLES AND NORMA

PERDUE OF BEATTYVILLE

HAVE HELPED BUILD THE

COMPANY INTO A SUCCESS

ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO

UH, I, I'D RETIRED

FROM ASHLAND OIL

AND UH... AFTER 30 YEARS, SO

UH, MY SON-- JEFFREY,

BOUGHT THIS WOODWORK SHOP

OFF OF ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL

THAT HE'D WENT TO SCHOOL WITH

AND HE ASKED US IF WE'D WORK

IN IT A COUPLE OF HOURS A DAY

SO I SAID, "YEAH,

WE'LL WORK IN IT, UH

I'LL HELP YOU A WHILE"

AND UH, AS IT'S TURNED OUT

IT'S BEEN UH, SIX

AND SEVEN DAYS A WEEK

10, 12 HOURS A DAY

SO THERE'S NO LET

UP ON WOODWORKING

KENTUCKY HAS ONE OF THE

BEST CRAFT MARKETS IN...

IN ANYWHERE

SO THE PEOPLE FROM

OUT OF STATE TELLS US

AND UH, THEN WE GO TO NEW YORK

UH, A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR

WITH THE KENTUCKY

CRAFTED UH, PEOPLE

AND MEET A LOT OF BUYERS

AND UH, IT'S AN

INTERNATIONAL CRAFT SHOW

AND UH, YOU'VE GOT TO GET

OUT AND MEET THE PEOPLE

TO SELL YOUR PRODUCT

(Music playing)

IT'S EXCITING ADVENTURE, UH

I GUESS THEY THOUGH WE WAS

THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES

WHEN WE WENT DOWN THROUGH TIMES

SQUARE IN OUR PICKUP TRUCK

UH, WE, WE TAKE OUR...

WE DRIVE UP THERE

AND WE TAKE JUST A SMALL

AMOUNT OF SAMPLES WITH US

TO UH, SHOW

AND UH, IT'S, IT'S

A VERY EXCITING CITY

UH, THE PEOPLE

THERE ARE NICE TO US

UH, THEY, THEY

LIKE TO TALK TO US

WE LIKE TO TALK TO THEM

AND UH, AS ONE OF THEM SAID,

ABOUT OUR LANGUAGE AND OUR

OUR, OUR "FUNNY

TALK," THEY SAID UH

I TOLD THEM THAT THE ONLY

TIME WE GET TO WEAR SHOES

IS WHEN I COME UP HERE

AND SO THEY TAKE ALL THAT

INTO, INTO HEART UP THERE

AND THEY KNOW, AFTER WE SHOW

THEM THE UH, PRODUCT AND

SHOW THEM THE ROUTER

THAT WE HAVE

THAT UH, IT'S NOT

LIKE WHAT WE SAY

KENTUCKY IS VERY

TECHNOLOGICALLY ORIENTED

IT'S JUST UH, IT'S BIG

BUT UH, YOU KNOW

I WOULDN'T WANT TO LIVE THERE

I, I ENJOY GOING, BUT I WOULD

NOT WANT TO LIVE THERE

BUT UH, I... IT'S EXCITING

Charles Perdue:

WE SELL OUR PRODUCT

TO SEVERAL HUNDREDS

OF BUYERS UH, STORES

THEY'RE ALL OVER

THE UNITED STATES

UH, 75% OF IT IS UH, SOLD

IN UH, IN THE NEW YORK AREA

AND BACK EAST

AND WE HAVE SOLD

DOWN IN THE BAHAMAS

AND UH, COAST TO

COAST BORDER TO BORDER

AND UH, AND WE HAVE

IDEAS UH, COMING IN

WEEKLY, UH, THEY'LL CALL US

OUR BUYERS WILL CALL US, SAY,

"WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A BOX WITH

WITH BALLET SHOES ON THEM"

AND WE'LL SAY, "WELL, WE'LL

SEE WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH"

UH, THEY'LL COME UP

WITH A FOOTBALL

THE, THE LADY THAT'S, UH

NEIGHBOR TO THE

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

WANTED A FOOTBALL

BOX IN NEW YORK, SO

WE MADE SOME OF THOSE

AND SOLD THE BOXES

UH, WE JUST HAVE

ALL KINDS OF IDEAS

AND YOU GOT TO

LISTEN TO THE PUBLIC

UH, THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT

AND YOU GOT TO BE ABLE

TO UH, FURNISH IT TO THEM

WE WENT TO NEW YORK

AND WE HAD UH, WE HAD A...

SOME PICTURES OF THE

HEBREW STUFF WE HAD MADE

AND WE DIDN'T TAKE THE PRODUCTS

BUT WE TOOK THE PICTURES

AND UH, THEY SAW THEM AND UH

WE SOLD QUITE A FEW

WHILE WE WERE THERE

AND UH, THEN... BECAUSE

THEY CAN'T FIND THEM

YOU KNOW, ANYWHERE HARDLY

AND THEN WE TOOK THEM

TO THE LOUISVILLE SHOW

AND WE UH, SOLD SEVERAL

OF THEM THERE

AND UH, I THINK IT'LL GET

TO BE A REAL BIG SELLER

WE, WE'RE DOING REAL GOOD

WITH THE HEBREW STUFF

Henderson:

THEY, THEY ARE A GOOD EXAMPLE

OF UH, A SMALL CRAFT BUSINESS

THAT UH, HAS GROWN

THEY EMPLOY OTHER PEOPLE SO

IT IS UH, A CRAFT BUSINESS

THAT IS MOVING TOWARDS

A CRAFT INDUSTRY

IT'S STILL VERY MUCH HAND

DESIGNED AND HANDS ON

BUT THEY'RE PROVIDING

UH, EMPLOYMENT

FOR PEOPLE BEYOND THEIR FAMILY

(Music playing)

THE KENTUCKY CRAFTED

PEOPLE AND IN FRANKFORT

UH, THEY HELP A LOT OF SMALL

UH, ENTITIES OR COMPANIES

UH, DO THINGS LIKE THIS

AND UH, I, I BELIEVE THAT THEY

SHOULD HAVE A LOT OF CREDIT FOR

WHAT WE HAVE DONE

THEY DON'T UH, HAVE ANY

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

BUT THEY DO HAVE

UH, GUIDANCE LIKE UH

GOING TO NEW YORK

OR GOING TO THE GIFT SHOWS

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT

AND THEY'LL HAVE PUBLICATIONS

FROM TIME TO TIME

AND IT ALSO TAKES THE CRAFT

PEOPLE TO DO THE WORK

TO MAKE THEM LOOK GOOD, TOO

SO UH, WE'RE PRETTY PROUD OF

THE KENTUCKY CRAFTED UH, NETWORK

(Music playing)

THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF THE

CRAFT MARKETING PROGRAM

KENTUCKY IS ONE OF THE FEW

STATES IN THE COUNTRY

THAT SUPPORTS ITS CRAFT

INDUSTRY IN THIS WAY

NOW IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN

BUYING KENTUCKY CRAFTED ITEMS

YOU CAN FIND THEM AT THE

ANNUAL FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL

UH, THE GOVERNOR'S

DERBY BREAKFAST

JUST TO NAME A COUPLE

WELL, OUR NEXT STORY IS ONE

THAT NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION

THAT'S BECAUSE

IF YOU COULD VISIT

THE HOMEMADE ICE CREAM

AND PIE KITCHEN

THE WONDERFUL SMELLS

WOULD CONVINCE YOU

OF THE WONDERS WITHIN

TODAY, THOUGH, WE'LL HAVE

TO BE CONTENT WITH USING

JUST OUR EYES AND EARS

TO SAVOR THE OLD-FASHIONED

GOODNESS AVAILABLE

ALONG LOUISVILLE'S

BARDSTOWN ROAD

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM

AND PIE KITCHEN

WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1982

UH, WE GOT STARTED...

MY FATHER-IN-LAW

WHO MAKES ALL THE ICE CREAM NOW

HE MADE ICE CREAM ALL

THROUGH HIS ADULT LIFE

SO, WE STARTED THE

ICE CREAM BUSINESS

THEN, MY MOTHER-IN-LAW--

SHE MADE PIES

AND WHEN MIKE AND

I HAD GOT MARRIED

UH, THE BUSINESS WAS

ESTABLISHED THEN

WHEN MIKE AND I WAS MARRIED

I MADE PIES, MY

MOTHER MADE PIES

AND HIS MOTHER HAD MADE PIES, SO

WE PUT THE TWO TOGETHER

AND THAT'S HOW WE GOT HOMEMADE

ICE CREAM AND PIE KITCHEN

BECAUSE THEY JUST

WENT HAND IN HAND

YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE

YOU CAN'T GO TO THE

LOCAL GROCERY AND GET A

A GOOD HOMEMADE PIE

IT'S GOING TO BE CRUST

THAT WAS ALREADY MADE

OR FROZEN PIES AND

STUFF LIKE THAT

AND HERE, YOU'RE GETTING

WHAT YOUR MOM MADE

OR WHAT YOUR GRANDMA

USED TO MAKE

IT'S THE GOOD OLD-FASHIONED PIE

Cox:

TO MAKE A MERINGUE PIE

WE START OUT WITH A CRUST

WE COME IN AND

WE BAKE THE CRUST

AND THEN WE FILL IT WITH

THE PUDDINGS THAT MY HUSBAND

HE MAKES ALL OF THE

PUDDING FROM SCRATCH

AND THEN WE MAKE THE MERINGUE

PUT THE MERINGUE ON THE PIE

BAKE IT

AND THEN LET IT COOL

AND THEN IT GOES INTO THE CASE

OR IF IT'S FOR AN ORDER

IT GOES INTO A BOX

WE MAKE OUR COOKIES

FROM OUR OWN RECIPES

UH, WE MAKE UH, I BELIEVE

AROUND SIX DIFFERENT, UH

NOW THE SUGAR COOKIES,

WE CUT OUT BY HAND

I MAKE THE DOUGH

UH, IT STAYS IN THE

COOLER OVER NIGHT

FOR THE SUGAR COOKIES

'CAUSE IT'S AN OLD-FASHIONED

SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

AND THEN WE ROLL IT OUT BY HAND

UH, WE CUT THEM OUT BY HAND

DEPENDING ON WHAT HOLIDAY IT IS

BUT WE TAKE OUR HOMEMADE

BUTTER CREAM ICING

WE MELT THAT DOWN

TO A CONSISTENCY WHERE WE CAN

PUT IT ON TO THE SUGAR COOKIE

WE JUST DECORATE IT,

WHATEVER HOLIDAY IT IS

YOU JUST GOT SO

MANY DIFFERENT THINGS

AND, AND A VARIETY OF ICE

CREAMS OVER 30 FLAVORS

AND SO MANY CAKE SLICES

AND PIE SLICES THAT

IT'S HARD TO MAKE THE

DECISION, BUT WHEN THEY DO

THEY'RE ALWAYS SATISFIED

Cox:

THE PROCESSING

OF MAKING ICE CREAM

WE HAVE A DAIRY THAT

MAKES OUR MIX FOR US

THE MIX COMES IN, MY

FATHER-IN-LAW TAKES THE MIX

HE MAKES ALL OF THE ICE CREAM

DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND

OF ICE CREAM HE MAKES

YOU KNOW, IT MAY

NEED BANANAS IN IT

IF HE'S MAKING BANANA ICE CREAM

IF HE'S MAKING MOCHA CHIP

HE PUTS IN COFFEE AND

CHOCOLATE CHIPS IN IT

JUST DEPENDING

ON WHAT KIND IT IS

GOES INTO THREE-GALLON BUCKETS

WE PUT IT IN THE FREEZER

FROM THE FREEZER

IT GOES INTO THE CASE

AND THAT'S THE PROCESS

TO MAKE A FRUIT PIE

WHAT WE DO IS THAT WE START

OUT WITH UH, MAKING THE CRUST

AND THEN I MAKE THE PIE FILLING

WHETHER IT BE CHERRY

OR PEACH OR RHUBARB

OR NO SUGAR

THEN UH, WE FILL IT WITH

WE FILL THE PIE CRUST WITH

WHATEVER FILLING THAT WE'RE

MAKING FOR THAT EVENING

THEN WE PUT ON UH,

EITHER A SOLID TOP

OR EITHER THE STRIPS

THEN WE PUT A PIECE OF PAPER

WRAP IT IN FOIL AND THEN IT

GOES DIRECTLY INTO THE FREEZER

THEN THE NEXT MORNING

WHEN THE BAKER COMES IN

THEN THEY PULL IT

FROM THE FREEZER

THEN IT GOES INTO THE OVEN

AND BAKES

AND THEN COMES OUT AND THEN

THAT'S OUR FINISHED PRODUCT

THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE STORE

IS UH, VERY FAMILY ORIENTED

IT'S UH, TAKES YOU

BACK TO THE OLD DAYS

THE CUSTOMERS COME IN HERE AND

THEY PLAY THE OLD-TIME JUKEBOX

WITH THEIR KIDS AND THEY GET

THE OLD-FASHIONED DESSERTS AND

ICE CREAM SODAS

AND THINGS THAT THEY USED TO

HAVE WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER

UH, AND THERE'S LOTS OF

ANTIQUES AROUND THE STORE

THAT THEY LOOK AT AND THEY

JUST SIT HERE AND THEY THINK

IT'S REAL, REAL HOMEY

AND WE HAVE THE CUSTOMERS

THAT COME IN THAT, UH

THAT WANT TO ORDER... THEY

ORDER CHOCOLATE SODAS

THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING

THAT THEY USED TO GET

WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER

IT'S HARD FOR ME TO TRAIN

THE KIDS HOW TO MAKE

A GOOD CHOCOLATE SODA

BECAUSE OUR GENERATION

DOESN'T... WE DON'T DRINK SODAS

WE'RE, WE'RE MORE IN THE SHAKES

AND UH, AND THEY DON'T EVEN

USUALLY KNOW WHAT IT IS

SO WHEN I'M TRAINING THEM

ON IT AND HOW IT'S SO...

YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO

MAKE IT THE RIGHT WAY

BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING

THEY HAD SINCE THEY WERE KIDS

THAT'S A CHALLENGE

FOR ME TO TRAIN

THE KIDS HOW TO

MAKE A GOOD SODA

UH, BUT UH, THE CUSTOMERS

KEEP COMING BACK

AND THEY KEEP ORDERING THEM SO

I KNOW WE'RE DOING IT RIGHT

WE'RE, WE'RE MAKING IT THE WAY

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MADE

Cox:

THE MOST REWARDING PART

OF OWNING THIS SHOP

AND I THINK WHAT

REALLY KEEPS US GOING

IN THIS BUSINESS

WHENEVER CUSTOMERS COME IN

AND THEY TALK ABOUT

HOW THEY CAN NOT GET

A PIE

THAT IS MADE LIKE

THEIR GRANDMA MAKES IT

AND WHEN YOU HEAR THAT

IT MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE

AH, THOSE ICE CREAM SODAS

LIKE MUSIC, A TASTE

FROM THE PAST

IS AN IMMEDIATE TIME MACHINE

I CAN REMEMBER SIPPING UH, MILK

SHAKES AT THE CORNER DRUGSTORE

IN GREENSBURG, MY HOMETOWN

I ALWAYS ORDERED A HAMBURGER

AND A CHOCOLATE SHAKE

WELL, THANKS FOR

COMING ALONG TONIGHT

FOR THESE SWEET JOURNEYS

FOR THE SENSES

WE'VE GOT ONE MORE

IN STORE FOR YOU THOUGH

SO JUST RELAX AND ENJOY SOME

IMAGES OF THE WILDFLOWERS

WHICH BLOSSOM ACROSS OUR STATE

'TIL WE MEET AGAIN,

I'M DAVE SHUFFETT

I'LL SEE YOU
