WABASH, Ind.– Visit Wabash County is excited to announce that Schlemmer Brothers is the designer for the exclusive 2016 Christmas ornament. Fourth in a series, the Visit Wabash County ornament’s design is inspired by Trolley No. 85. and is made entirely of copper.
The artwork was adapted for waterjet cutting by Brandon Booth of Schlemmer Brother’s Metalworks. The exclusive to Visit Wabash County ornaments were produced at the metalworks shop by Brian Eckelbarger and were cut from copper by using a 55,000 psi stream of water traveling at 3x the speed of sound. Numbered and signed, there are only a total of 100 ornaments being produced for the 2016 holiday season. “Because Schlemmer Brothers produces items of such amazing quality and detail, I was extremely excited for them to partner with us. The company has such a rich history spanning 116 years that resonates deeply within our community,” said Whitney Millspaugh, Marketing Manager for Visit Wabash County.
