As the government continues to look for ways to stimulate the domestic economy, significant emphasis has been placed on “shovel ready” projects. The idea is to reward communities that have well documented infrastructure projects. It’s supposed to be a win-win for the community – job opportunities, better bridges, completed roads and, in our opinion, ideally, fewer potholes.
To take part in Indiana’s best “shovel ready” project to date, come to White River State Park on Sunday August 29 between Noon and 6 p.m. There is a free “shovel” (OK, fork) included with each ticket, allowing you to sample food from Indiana’s finest farmers and chefs. Dig IN! is an event designed to celebrate our bountiful Indiana harvest in a way that highlights sustainable agriculture and the significant culinary talent throughout the state.
Visit www.digindiana.org to get more information about the programs, panels and people you’ll have the opportunity to meet that day. There’s even an iPhone app to help guide your agenda.
Remember, digging in to our local food sources helps the local economy….and it will certainly help fill that large pothole of hunger in your stomach.
