The Morning Star cider press is, well, as old as Bluffton and Pandora. Owned today by Suter Produce and located on Road R, Pandora, it is now open for the season.

We found a story from the Aug 8, 1957, Bluffton News, that shares some background on the business. That information follows:

In 1957, Seth Basinger, 81-year-old Pandora farmer, has been in the business 42 years.

Seth went into the cider business with his friend and partner,­­ Sam Amstutz.

By Matt M. Stutz

At many Pandora-Gilboa vs McComb high school football games, the fans in attendance usually get their money’s worth, and the September 16 game was no different. It played out like a championship boxing match between two evenly matched heavyweights giving and taking punches from the opposition all night long.

Unfortunately for P-G, McComb threw the decisive blow with one minute remaining to come from behind, beating the Rockets 35-28 in a physical, hard hitting Blanchard Valley Conference showdown.
