The Monsanto Fund has launched “America’s Farmers Grow Communities” for the third year in a row, giving local farmers the opportunity to give $2,500 in unrestricted funding to their designated recipient.  New this year, in the counties that have been declared disaster areas by the USDA (all the counties in S.W. Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois), the Monsanto Fund is providing an additional $2,500 donation.  Therefore, for two farmers selected on a random basis, two $2,500 awards will be made to a local non-profit organization of their choosing in each qualifying county.

It was quite a party in St. Henry last weekend. 

In honor of the town's 150th birthday, the community held a celebration that included a car show, beer garden, wine tasting, kiddie games, a tobacco spitting contest, best beard contest, a four mile run/walk, cornhole and horseshoe contests and a parade--among other events.

The Saint Francisville Bicentennial will be July 5 through the 8.  Organizers say their committee has "raised close to $30,000 to put on a wonderful 200 year celebration!"

There will be live entertainment, vendors, fireworks, a 5K race, children's rides and activities. 

The event kicks off with a twilight parade on Thursday evening...Friday and Saturday are jam packed with activities and fair food and on Sunday there will be an old time tent church revival meeting, with live music and a community picnic on the grounds.
