The Weblog
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!
Holiday Road
I found out long ago
It’s a long way down the holiday road…
(Lindsey Buckingham – Holiday Road)
Well, the holiday weekend is just about here!! We are on the countdown to good times, good weather, and good friends!!
I hope that everyone has amazing plans for the holiday!! I hit the Holiday Road, tomorrow, to a fun and rockin’ music festival!! Nothing but sunshine, non-stop tunes and bands, and a ton of my friends!! Let the good times roll!
Enjoy whatever your plans may be and if you think about it…give us a little order while you are soaking up the sun!!
For all who order, I will be drawing a customer name and that customer will win the soundtrack that has started to weave itself through the theme of my Weblogs, each time!! What a fun way to start your summer playlist!! A cd full of the tunes and lyrics that I use!! But, you need to order to be entered into the drawing!!! The winner will be announced next Wednesday!!
Also…just a note to introduce our new vendor!! She is a gluten-free baker with an all natural skin-care line that she makes!!! Live Simply, Live Richly…check her out!
The market is now open…get your orders in before the weekend of fun begins!!
Peace and Love,
