  Banks of the Wabash Festival is more than just yearly entertainment

  Pioneers think counterintuitively. Where others see widespread apathy, they focus on the possibility for progress. In a way, the 2013 Year of the River celebration began in the 1970s.

  North baseball pulls away from South in sectional opener

  In high school baseball little things mean a lot, and the crack in the door doesn’t have to be open very wide.
  Terre Haute North burst through that crack in the bottom of the second inning Wednesday evening at Terre Haute South, scoring seven two-out runs and going on to a surprisingly easy 12-2 victory over the host Braves.

Cool off at annual Blueberry Festival

Anonymous Special to the Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Fri Jul 08, 2011, 05:00 AM EDT

TERRE HAUTE — Preparations are wrapping up for the third Annual Blueberry Festival in Terre Haute. The festival is coming up this Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. in downtown Terre Haute.

The Blueberry Festival was started to help raise money to open the doors for the upcoming co-op store in downtown Terre Haute called Terre Foods. The festival is co-sponsored and staged at the Central Presbyterian Church at 125 N. Seventh St.

Organizers of the festival do their part to keep the carbon footprint for the festival as low as possible. The blueberries are purchased as local as current weather conditions permit. Last year, organizers drove to Northern Indiana to pick up more than 1,000 pounds of blueberries.

“It is part of the whole philosophy of the co-op, natural foods, good foods, good for the planet, and sustainability,” Terre Foods member Denise Conrady said.

Those looking to get their daily does of antioxidants can get a heaping cup of blueberries, blueberry compote and ice cream and any combination of the previous mentioned. Vendors will also be selling blueberry bushes, honey and baked goods all while being accompanied by the tempo of local musicians. Materials about Terre Foods will also be available to give visitors a better understanding of the advantages of a food co-op in Terre Haute.

“Our hope is through the Blueberry Festival we will get the co-op off the ground,” Conrady said.

 Those who will find themselves cooling off while digging into a nice cool cup of blueberries will be doing so with compostable serving dishes and utensils.

“Last year we had a bin that showed how much the utensils from the previous year composted. It was interesting for the kids to see the display,” Conrady said.

Recycling bins will be provided around the festival.
