The tradition began in 1976 with a special donation from Elmore Kraemer who grew up just north on the farm on Maple Road. He remembered the bells ringing at 5 pm as the time to stop work in the fields for the Sabbath. His generous help began this tradition each year and continues with the help of the Bell-ringers in the Schowalter family.
