  Greetings!

We hope you had a happy Easter, and are looking forward to the Spring (or is it already Summer?).  Got your garden planted yet?

We would like to announce a MAJOR Fundraising Event, April 23rd, from 6-9pm!  Tom Roznowski, local performer and author, will be hosting a great evening of music, literature, and food.  This event will be a fundraiser for Terre Foods Cooperative Market, and Downtown Terre Haute.  Check out the article below for all the details!
 
Re-Growing Terre Haute
A Fundraiser for Terre Foods and Downtown Terre Haute

Mark your calendars for Friday, April 23rd, 6pm-9pm for Re-Growing Terre Haute: A Celebration of a Great American City and Benefit for Terre Foods and the Downtown Farmers Market!  The event will be held at Clabber Girl, at the corner of 9th and Wabash in Downtown Terre Haute.

This exciting event was conceived by author/musician Tom Roznowski of Porch Light Indiana, along with generous support from WFIU-FM and Bloomingfoods Cooperatative Market and Deli.  A portion of proceeds from the event will go to support Terre Foods, as well as help us get our name out to a new community of potential members.

The evening will feature readings and music by Tom Roznowski who will feature his book, "An American Hometown: Terre Haute, Indiana in 1927."  Enjoy beer from Brugge Brewery and wine from Oliver Winery while dining on tapas made by Terre Haute's Chef Jeffrey Marks.  ISU Professor Emeritus Marion Jackson, author of "101 Trees of Indiana: A Field Guide," will be on hand to discuss this book and sign copies.  ISU's Dr. John Whitaker will give a preview of his upcoming "Mammals of Indiana: A Field Guide."  In addition, representatives from Downtown Terre Haute and Terre Foods will speak as well, sharing information about promising ventures hoping to locate downtown.

Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at Clabber Girl Bakeshop (9th and Wabash, 812-478-7113), BookNation (675 Wabash Ave, 812-232-2595), River Wools (671 Wabash Ave, 812-238-0090), Market Bella Rosa (669 Wabash Ave, 812-234-3663), Arts Illiana (23 N 6th St, 812-235-5007), and Coffee Grounds (423 Wabash Ave, 812-238-9664) in downtown Terre Haute.
