During the early years of the pumpkin festival, parish members of the Church of the Assumption sold horseradish during the four-day September street fair.
According to AI instructions: “to harvest and prepare horseradish, dig up the root in the fall after a frost or in early spring, then wash, peel, and chop it. For preparation, blend the chopped root with vinegar until it reaches your desired consistency, and add a pinch of salt. The pungent fumes can be strong, so it is best to work outdoors or with open windows”.
In this1980 Barnesville Enterprise archived photo, Dorothy Schumacher and Gary Finnicum, parish members, were photographed as they filled jars of the root vegetable at the Schumacher farm north of town.
