In the 60s and 70s, Christmas time in Fowlerville meant making candy canes of all sizes by the Spagnuolo family. Thank you, Lenore, for providing this wonderful picture of her father working hard to model and manipulate the hardening candy.
As a side note, check out this link if you are interested in purchasing a copy of "The Fowlerville Chronicles." There's more about the Spagnuolo family, both on this blog and in the hardbound copy. Thank you to all that have purchased the book since it was published in 2011!

My grandmother was Maude Haist who owned THE HAIST HOUSE. I lived there with her two different times and attended Fowlerville Grammer school. Rose HaImlin was my fifth grade teacher. I used to sit in the tree my grandfather, Fred, grew around a wagon wheel, to watch the cars come and go in and out of town. George Spagnola let me watch him make candy canes when I visited my grandma, and he always made me a Black Cow sundae.
