Market hosting ‘DNR Wildlife Science Day’ this Thursday!

posted by SPD Communications on September 24, 2018 DNR

Every Statehouse Market is something special, but we think Week 19 is especially, um, special.

You might say it’s “super special.” Or “ultra special.” Or “stupendously super-duper special.”

No matter what adjectives you choose to use to describe it, the second-to-last Statehouse Market of 2018 is packed with fun thanks to the good folks at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources!

Thursday, Sept. 27 is officially (drum roll, please) “DNR Wildlife Science Day” at the Statehouse Market!

Start the morning off right by stopping by conference room 19 of IGC-South for the series “Cookies, Coffee and Conservation.” The talks, which are conducted by DNR experts, run from 9 to 9:50 a.m. and will cover wildlife disease management, the Hoosier State’s diverse duck population, conservation funding, coyotes’ relocation to urban areas, an analysis of car-deer collisions from the past five years, and a peek at Indiana’s underwater salamanders.

When the market proper kicks off at 10:30 a.m., DNR staff will have informational booths set up on the plaza to help you “Find Your Next Adventure” this fall!

And speaking of critters that bear more than a passing resemblance to dinosaurs, visitors may get an up-close and personal look at a hellbender salamander — one of Indiana’s largest underwater lizard-like amphibians. Don’t worry! Although the name sounds like something you’d hope not to find in your swimming pool, hellbenders are entirely harmless.

Week 19 SHM

You can even commemorate the day by taking a selfie with “Herbie the Hellbender” — a costumed DNR staff member, not an actual salamander with a waterproof smartphone. Although, admittedly, that would be kind of neat too.

All this, plus the usual market goodness: the best produce around, artisan goods crafted with care, and delicious street food to suit every taste.

Don’t miss this Thursday’s Statehouse Market! Meet us on Robert D. Orr Plaza for food, fun and the opportunity to learn about Indiana’s truly “Great Outdoors.”

That’s definitely something special!

And we can’t wait to see you there!

Statehouse Market Week 16: The post-Labor Day homestretch begins!

posted by SPD Communications on August 31, 2018 Statehouse Market Week 16

Labor Day weekend is traditionally seen as the unofficial end of summer.

Gone are the barbecues and pool parties, and in their place Hoosiers ready for sweatshirt weather, football and pumpkin spice-flavored everything.

Well, according to our calendars, there are five — count ’em — FIVE Statehouse Markets remaining in 2018. And since the farmer’s market on Robert D. Orr Plaza is pretty much synonymous with the warm rays of summer in Indy, we think there’s still plenty of fun in the sun left this year.

We’re so confident, in fact, that we might even (gasp!) wear white clothing after Labor Day!

Yes, it’s a potential fashion faux pas, but that’s just how daring we can be — at least when it comes to choosing pants in September.

And why not?

After all, that’s the sort of trend-bucking, devil-may-care Hoosier spirit you’ll see each Thursday at the market as some of the area’s top farmers, artisans, entrepreneurs and mobile restaurant maestros gather for an event the smells of which alone simply scream “summer.”

So keep the shades handy and the warm weather wardrobe at the ready. Summer’s far from over, and we hope you’ll enjoy these last few Market Days with us – rain or shine, summer weather or fall-like chilly temperatures.

As always, we’ll meet you for lunch on the plaza between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

We’ll see you Thursday! Until then, keep looking on the sunny side of life and check out the Sept. 6 lineup below.
