Wednesday will be a big day for Rendleman Orchards in Union County.

Wayne and Betty Sirles will ring in the orchard's 150th harvest season.

They are the 4th generation to own and operate Rendleman Orchards.

The 5th and 6th generations of their family will all be present to witness this historic event for the family farm.

Nearby Flamm Orchards Tuesday presented Rendleman Orchards with a special gift of a Howard Miller clock engraved on the back for its special anniversary.

The public is invited to the bell ringing ceremony starting at 3 p.m. Wednesday.

The farm is located on Route 127 in Alto Pass.

As a news producer and news anchor on All Things Considered, Brad provides the listeners with a recap of the day's top local and state news as well as breaking news at any given time. Contact WSIU Radio at 618-453-6101 or email wsiunews@wsiu.org
