Around the third Friday in October, (October 17th in 1997), the Keller Library with support from the Friends of the Keller Library puts on the Harvest Stew. Everyone is supposed to bring one can of canned goods and I make a stew from it all. Every year we have several hundred excess cans. We take them to the local community storehouse which distributes them to those in need.
The whole idea is based on the old story of Stone Soup. It is amazing how much stew you can make from a few cans.
In addition, there are clowns, hayrides, a firetruck and ambulance, contests, and a book sale.
If you have any questions, suggestions, want to help, or are curious as to how to make stew for several hundred people, call me at 817-431-3698 or just
