NOTE FROM THE WEBMASTER - the public "submit event" feature on the calendar has been disabled for the last few weeks. Due to lack of response from the service's support team, I'm looking for another calendar service. I will let everybody know when they are able to submit events again. In the meantime, feel free to email your events directly to me at info@munciedowntown.com, and I will add them for you.
On a positive note, munciedowntown.com has been updated with a fresh new look! Please stop by to visit if you get the chance, and don't forget to support your local merchants.
Reminder for downtown merchants to attend the bimonthly Downtown Business Council members meeting this Wednesday, August 2, at 7:30 a.m. in the Star Press conference room. Coffee and breakfast snacks will be provided.

News from Downtown Muncie 4/7/06
From Downtown Business Council: The Chamber of Commerce is preparing to re-do the downtown map. PLEASE get your business on the map! These are widely distributed to convention center attendees, Hotel Roberts' guests, all BSU freshmen, prospective employees of BSU & the hospital, and new residents of Delaware County. Cost is $150 for Chamber members, $250 for non-members and the deadline for entries is April 14th. Contact Traci Lutton at 751.9126 or tlutton@muncie.com.
Did you read the letter to the editor in Thursday's Star Press from a recent visitor from Maine? He had attended the competition at Civic Theatre and enjoyed our revitalized downtown during his breaks. He gave us a hearty congratulations on our efforts; said he was very impressed. Yeah!!!!
From the Beautification Committee: Please sweep your sidewalk and pick up litter around your building on a regular, if not daily, basis. Many businesses downtown are the picture of cleanliness, but alas, a few are not. Kudos to the Tidy Team, and encouragement to all others that the downtown image really does matter on your balance sheet. The church group that cleaned us up last year is returning later this spring, which is wonderful but a tad embarrassing. If we can't take care of the trash in front of our business, what does that say about our business? A healthy business is inviting & comfortable, and draws visitors inside. Let's all strive to be healthy!
Please mark your calendars for BSU Orientation visits:
June 6-9, 13-16, 20-23 and July 6&7, 11-14
Times: shortly after 10:30, until noon
Family members of orientation students will have almost 90 minutes to walk around and visit our cuteness! Prediction is for appx. 100 people each day! If you'd like to help the mini-committee make plans for how to capitalize on this opportunity, contact Genny Gordy at gengor@aol.com or 284-8422. Ideas also welcome!

Reminder that BSU Orientation include a downtown visit 22 times this summer for 90 minutes each. What happens once they're shuttled over here is up to us. If you'd like to get in on the planning (banners? balloons? footprints painted on sidewalks? brochures?), or have a great idea, please contact Genny Gordy, gengor@aol.com.
Time to think about flowers again. Does anyone have info on the flower planters we rented last year? It would be great to acknowledge our best flower beds/displays this year. Do we want to promote a color scheme, say, red and white? Comments welcome! If you'd like to serve on a wee committee for this, please contact Genny Gordy, gengor@aol.com

Legendary Southern rock band Lynryd Skynyrd will headline this year's "Summer Jam". Johnny Van Zant has fully recovered from last year's throat surgery and is back in full performance form.
The concert will be held in downtown Muncie, Indiana, on Saturday, June 3rd. Tickets will go on sale Saturday April 1st at 10am through all Ticketmaster locations and www.ticketmaster.com
It is expected that this concert will sell-out prior to the concert date so get your tickets early. Reserved seat tickets are $40, $30, and $25. A limited number of lawn seats will be available for $20.

The venue is in the streets of Downtown Muncie at 309 S. Walnut Street (at the intersection of Charles Street). Venue set up is 4,000 reserved seats in a gated area with a lawn area for an additional 3,000 people. Two forty-foot big-screens are set up to broadcast the performances.
The Southern rock group with 18 gold and 12 platinum albums, consistently has drawn capacity crowds with every performance given since reforming in 1987, a full decade after the Freebird fell from the sky, taking the lives of founding members Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines.
Ronnie's brother, Johnny Van Zant has been fronting the band, keeping rock classics like Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, You Got That Right, That Smell and the rock anthem Freebird alive and well. Two original members, guitar-great Gary Rossington and founding keyboardist Billy Powell support Van Zant.
The Sulentic Brothers Band from South Bend Indiana will be the opening act. This band has opened for Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, and 38 Special, just to name a few. Check them out @ http://www.sulenticbrothersband.com/
