Amanda Karpus’ weekly community column featuring news and notes from Olmsted Falls and Olmsted Township.
OLMSTED FALLS, Ohio -- In 1957, Arley Smith started what is now known as Papa‘s Produce with a folding table and high-quality, fresh produce.Smith guaranteed everything he sold, something the current owners, Chris Laudos and Kayla Carrero, still do to this day.
There will be several local vendors, food trucks, games and activities. The stand will be open for business, and you’ll have the chance to meet the owners and the rest of the family who help run it. People often ask him who “Papa” is. Arley Smith was the original papa, but these days Laudos can claim the title with the birth of his daughter, Zoey.Zoey is the real story here. Chris and Kayla welcomed Zoey this June on Father‘s Day.
They weren‘t prepared for the news they got when she was 2 weeks old. Zoey did indeed have Krabbe disease, and she was in for the fight of her life. So Chris, Kayla and Zoey‘s medical team wasted no time in starting that treatment. And before she was even a month old, she underwent 12 days of aggressive chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.
