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!
Girls Just Want To Have Fun!
That’s all they really want…
Some fun…
When the working day is done…
Oh girls, they want to have fun…
(Cyndi Lauper-Girls Just Want To Have Fun)
And, that is just what they did, all weekend!!
I have just returned from an entire weekend of some of my most favorite people in my life. My sorority sisters. We had a huge reunion in Lexington. We had big fun. We had big reconnections. We hugged, we laughed, we cried from laughing, we rediscovered what brought us all together as sorority women, as pledge sisters, as bigs and littles, and lifelong friends.
Getting away for a few days can be just what a person needs. Getting away, feeding your soul, filling your heart, and discovering that you really can go back to where it all began!! It takes you to a new understanding. A new sense of what a person is doing in life, and how that person became the person they are, today!
So, this girl had a ton of fun, but now would like to see a ton of fun hit this market, today!!! It’s Tuesday, the market will close at 10pm, this evening, and I urge you to have some fun, place some orders, let this market feed your soul with the goodness of local, from this little local market of love…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
