The local foods movement is alive and well in Champaign County! Here are some updates on other projects while we finalize our virtual market:
Local Producers Map:
Our local producers map is ready for publication and you will soon be able to find it on gochampaign.com. Copies will be distributed around the community, in the local telephone book, and other “hangouts”. The guide lists the location and contact information for nearly 50 local producers within our county. The map was a project of the Local Food Council and printed with the help of some local sponsors including the Monument Square District, Champaign Bank, the Community Improvement Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, the Farm Bureau and others. It is a great start to finding a local source for Champaign County’s finest!
C'mon Get Happy!
Hello, world, here’s a song that we’re singin’,
C’mon get happy
A whole lotta lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’,
We’ll make you happy
We had a dream we’d go trav’lin’ together
We’d spread a little lovin’ then we’d keep movin’ on
Somethin’ always happens whenever we’re together
We get a happy feelin’ when we’re singin’ a song
Trav’lin’ along there’s a song that we’re singin’,
C’mon get happy
A whole lotta lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’,
We’ll make you happy
We’ll make you happy,
We’ll make you happy…
(C’mon Get Happy-The Partridge Family)
Go ahead…sing it out!! You know you can’t help but think back that multi-colored bus, with the groovy family, and those velvet stage outfits…I mean, all I wanted was for my family to buy a bus, and hit the road. But, alas, my family did not share my young hippie thoughts…
Anyway, on this dreary Monday of a morning, I thought we could all use a little happy to put some pep in our step! And, another way to get happy on this Monday, is to place your market orders!
Go ahead…get happy…
XOXO,
