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
New on Saturday at Walnut at the Crossing - Danish rolls, many flavors.

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

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/

The Indian Creek Drawings at Gordy's in February
Alan Patrick: The Indian Creek Drawings
Alan Patrick will be the featured artist at Gordy Fine Art & Framing during the month of February. An avid conservationist, Patrick will donate a percentage of proceeds from sales to the Red-tail Conservancy. The local organization protects parcels of land from development, maintaining habitat and beautiful spaces for the future.
Titled, "The Indian Creek Drawings," the works showcase an important conservation easement in Madison County. "I go on work days and hikes with the Red-tail staff and volunteers. On these hikes I shoot photos from which I work in my studio." Formerly a potter, well-known for his Bethel Pike studio, Alan now focuses solely on painting and drawing. The suite of drawings for this exhibit is done in charcoal, adding a dramatic energy to the scenes of woods, creek beds and bluffs. "My purpose is to help preserve our last great places. As a landscape painter I am always in need of subject matter," explains Patrick. "Hopefully the sale of these works will help conserve more of our best open spaces."
A reception for the artist will be held during the First Thursday art event, February 2nd, from 5 to 8 PM at the downtown gallery/frame shop. The public is invited to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
The month-long exhibit may also be seen during normal business hours: Monday - Thursday, 9 AM to 5:30 PM, Friday, 9 to 7, and Saturday, 9 to 5.

Alan Patrick will be the featured artist at Gordy Fine Art & Framing during the month of February. An avid conservationist, Patrick will donate a percentage of proceeds from sales to the Red-tail Conservancy. The local organization protects parcels of land from development, maintaining habitat and beautiful spaces for the future.
Titled, "The Indian Creek Drawings," the works showcase an important conservation easement in Madison County. "I go on work days and hikes with the Red-tail staff and volunteers. On these hikes I shoot photos from which I work in my studio." Formerly a potter, well-known for his Bethel Pike studio, Alan now focuses solely on painting and drawing. The suite of drawings for this exhibit is done in charcoal, adding a dramatic energy to the scenes of woods, creek beds and bluffs. "My purpose is to help preserve our last great places. As a landscape painter I am always in need of subject matter," explains Patrick. "Hopefully the sale of these works will help conserve more of our best open spaces."
