Buzzing Around Town

I hope you're all having a lovely August - there are still lots of great outdoor things to do. I'll see you out and about!

38th and Shine
Saturday, August 27, 2016
Tarkington Park
39th and Illinois Streets - all ages, 6:30 - 9:00 PM, free
I've always wanted to be part of setting a world record! 38th and Shine is community event, an art performance, and a collaborative act of history making. They plan to break the world record for most sparklers lit simultaneously.
They are looking for 1200 participants. You can sign up to participate or volunteer as a Lighting Captain (which sounds like an awesome volunteer gig). Visit the website for more information.
Sparkle on, kids!





Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
