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!
Boogie Shoes

So, it’s that time of the week…time to announce the weekly Market Love playlist winner!!! Lots of names, this week!! All strategically written down, folded up, picked by my daughter, the Cosmic Co-Ed, and her long time pal…Cosmic Side-Kick..
But, before I announce the winner…does this song make you want to dance, sing, boogie? Can’t you just remember your bell bottom jeans, platform shoes, feathered hair, and if you are a girl, your Bonne Bell Lipsmacker lipgloss? Yeah….hello early teen years of yesteryear!
This was a very versatile song…you could boogie away at parties, pool teen dances, the skating rink…you just couldn’t sit still with this song blaring.
It was the 70s, it was disco, and we were all groovin’ it. It reminds me of the swim club we belonged to, teen dances, teen lounge, a jukebox…the thrill of a summer adventure. It also reminds me of a ton of neighbor kids, all piled into a station wagon, being dropped off at the local skating rink to skate the night away. Dim lights, disco balls and kids with sweet moves on skates.
I love a song that will transport you back to great memories, fun times, and the promise of a great summer!
Here’s to that great summer that is just ahead of us…and here’s a big shout out to this week’s winner…
Valerie Root! Congrats!! You can get your copy of Market Love, tomorrow, at order pick up!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
