An event you shouldn’t miss

Coming up this weekend in downtown Logansport is an event you won’t want to miss.

The seventh annual Taste of Cass County kicks off at 5 p.m. Saturday with a new location and a new finale.

Twelve vendors from around the city will set up booths at Fourth and Market streets Saturday afternoon to offer tastes of their menus and drink items. This year’s restaurants range from barbecue samplings offered by Bubba’s Smoke Shack to desserts from the Panaderia/Country Bakery.

This year’s event also brings live entertainment, face-painting, free golf cart tours of the Little Turtle Waterway and, for the first time, an evening balloon launch.

Logan's Landing uses the funds raised by this event to support its efforts in downtown revitalization, so you’ll not only be having a great time, you’ll be supporting a great cause.

The weather forecast calls for a cool evening, with a high Saturday of 77 degrees.

So take some time to come downtown, spend a few dollars and enjoy the food and the entertainment.

  • THEIR VIEW: Big Brother looms large in D.C.

    The federal government, working under the cloak of secrecy, has been having a heyday at the expense of all Americans.

  • THEIR VIEW: Keep teens safe on the roadways

    Indiana was able to achieve welcome decreases in teen-driving deaths after adopting graduated driver’s license laws. But it appears some of the benefits of easing teen drivers more slowly into the responsibilities associated with driving are leveling off.

  • THEIR VIEW: Indiana loses a respected leader

    At a time when our nation was deeply divided by war, social upheaval and political corruption, Otis R. “Doc” Bowen brought stability to Indiana in his eight years as governor largely through the strength of his personal integrity. He was respected, revered even, not only by fellow Republicans but also by independents and Democrats for his deep commitment to the state and its people.

  • THEIR VIEW: Guard kids from caffeinated food

    So how gullible are we? Food manufacturers say their caffeine-pumped food is intended for adults. Included in those foods are Jelly Belly “Extreme Sport Beans,” which have 50 mg of caffeine in each 100-calorie pack. A cup of coffee has about 100 mg of caffeine.

  • OUR VIEW: Former students keep history alive

    History is a funny thing. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Sure you can go back and try to stitch the pieces together to make a record of a time and place, but the relics of the past are impossible to fully replace.

  • OUR VIEW: Getting students college-bound

    The student who knew he or she was college-bound from the time they walked into kindergarten to the student who never dreamed it was even possible to the student who hasn’t given college much thought. They all stand to benefit from the work Logansport High School and Indiana University Kokomo are doing.

  • OUR VIEW: Twelve Mile shows community pride

    At this week’s Cass County Community Foundation’s Town Hall meeting in Twelve Mile, 95 residents showed up.
    Ninety-five.
    That might not sound like a lot of people, but when you put it in perspective, the reality of 95 people becomes clear.
