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!
Listen To The Music
All the time
Like a lazy flowing river surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger listening for the happy sounds and I got to let them fly
Ooh-uh-woo listen to the music
Ooh-uh-woo listen to the music
Ooh-uh-woo listen to the music
All the time…
(The Doobie Brothers)
Happy Monday to you all on this continuing string of sunshine, daydream, warm kind of November days! I groove so much to the sun, and in my different moments of downtime, this weekend, I just relaxed in the sunshine.
Yesterday was big as my daughter was in Columbus for a quick weekend, ending in us back at the bridal boutique, saying YES to the dress, getting her measurements, and me, even after the second time seeing her dress choice, getting all teary eyed at the beauty of the young woman in front of me. It seems like I was just dropping her off in car line at preschool, in Florida, and it seemed to flash by in a whirl of the years. She turns 27 on Thanksgiving, and is ready to move into her new house, with her best friend in life. Had I tried to even draw and create her perfect mate, I couldn’t have done a better job. It brings me great joy, but also a tad sadness, but in a good way!
Anyway, yesterday morning, I woke up way too early, so I made coffee, and settled in with a Doobie Brothers documentary from their early 70s years. It sent me on a musical journey with a new appreciation for their music, especially from their ’72-75 years. And, then, well this song…who can stop themselves from breaking out into a good mood?
It’s Monday, the market is open, and it’s a great day to get your orders in for the week, and even dabble in a bit of Christmas shopping.
Dance to your own beat, listen to your own song, and have the best of days, today!
XOXO,
