Fort Wayne Farmer's Market: Success!  

 


Did you attend the new Fort Wayne Farmer's Market last weekend? Held on the first Saturday of each month at Parkview Field in the Lincoln Financial Event Center from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., this market is officially a hit.  
 
The market was filled with rows of vendors, and large crowds of people stopped by to shop. The vendors are local and all of the food is fresh. It is easy to fill your refrigerator with all of the goods that are offered. If you didn't have the chance to go, take a moment to view some of the pictures we took.  We hope to see you next month!

Arena Dinner Theatre: Busybody 



When:
October 12 & 13
Where: Arena Dinner Theatre  

This hilarious play centers on a voluble cleaning woman who keeps telling the cops how to mind their business and who steps forward with the right evidence in every pinch. She lives in the basement of the office building she cleans and one night finds a body. By the time the police arrive, there is no body and no evidence. The wrong alarms are sent out, murdered men turn up alive, and it's all chalked up to the cleaning woman's imagination until an unidentified body is discovered on a distant hill and the cleaning woman uncovers more evidence.
