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!
For Those About To Rock!
For those about to rock, we salute you…
(AC/DC – For Those About To Rock)
So, what do the lyrics from an AC/DC song, and the Cosmic hippie bakestress have in common? Well, once upon a time, I was in high school. I had a core group of friends, we rocked out to AC/DC, like everyone in the very early 80s, and we drove our cool cars (or caught rides in cool cars) with this as our backdrop of music.
Yes…that was me for a fleeting moment in time!
Anyway, as you all know, I hold my friendships to my heart, I hold my West End people even closer, and I hold my high school group in a special place in my heart. They rocked my world, we rocked and we ruled, and together, we all managed to graduate, go on and conquer college, and then went on to be successful hippies, er, wait…that was just me:)
Anyway, one of my best pals in high school, posted on of our old soundtracks from the class of 1982, on Facebook, the other day. I was overcome with memories, laughter, and a love that comes with fondness, and deep seeded familiarity.
AC/DC was high on the soundtrack, this song made me think of this market, and so tonight, I would like to open this little local market of love, with a HUGE Rock Stars of Local salute, for Those About to Rock!! (Our market:)
Go ahead…pick up on the theme, rock our market, make us even bigger rock stars of local legends, and start the fun of ordering!!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
