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!
Cold Rain And Snow
You guys…you have been blowing up my email with your answers to this week’s Cosmic trivia!!! And, I have been loving your answers, and singing all of your song choices while I have been getting the Monday morning list of things ready, that I need to accomplish!
We have our two winners!!!
My Grateful Dead weather related song titles choices were just two of many of their weather related titles.
Let me tell you, I have spent years, first at Dead shows, then at Dark Star Orchestra shows, and Dead and Company shows, in ALL kinds of weather!! Dead Heads have danced in cold, rain, snow, sleet, dodged lightening, and ran for our safety to tents. We’ve watched stages get washed out from rains. We’ve had total campsites demolished with hurricane/tornado type weather. We’ve all helped out our fellow camp neighbors in the aftermath of said storms. We’ve danced in rainfall with the Dead playing on with all of their weather related music. We’ve worn parkas in May, we’ve worn sundresses in December. But, the important thing, the underlying lesson that we all have taken with us, is that weather comes, and it goes, but love gets us all through, and you may as well keep on dancing…
So, with all that…
My first winner of the morning was Rachel Massey with her answer…Weather Report Suite!!!! She was a new customer, last week, and I am so excited to hear her kind words about the market!
My second winner has been with the market since it’s inception, 10 years ago…the other song I was looking for was, of course…Cold Rain and Snow! Mary Jo Price won that song!!
So…we have the trivia winners!!
And, I have added new selections of Cosmic breads and focaccia!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
