Four Indiana Counties Share GOING LOCAL WEEK 2010 Plans

 

Going Local Week 2010 starts this coming Sunday, September 5 and runs through Saturday September 11. It's a great time to "discover, celebrate, and savor" Indiana local food. Just recenly 4 Indiana communities sent me their plans for the week. Here's what they're doing:

CASS COUNTY: The Purdue Extension Office in Cass county is hosting a contest for area local food producers. Entrants must own or operate a Cass County farm that is engaged in agri-tourism or has agricultural products available for retail sale. More information here.

HAMILTON COUNTY: The creative folks at the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau sent out a “It’s Going Local Week!” email to potential visitors and residents that will direct them back to the Hamilton County's splash page where they can find information about the county's local food producers, local restaurants, the wineries and breweries, foodie events, and other local services and products.  The also plan to attend a few local Chamber events to pass out brochures and spread the word about GL WEEK 2010. Finally, they are asking some of their local foodie people to submit guest blog posts that will be posted to their 8 Great Towns blog each day during the week.  

HENDRICKS COUNTY: The Hendricks County Convention and Visitors Bureau sent an email featuring GOING LOCAL WEEK 2010 to over 12,000 recipients. More info here.
