<br />
Memorial Day is Monday, May 31, 2010. The<strong> Sunshine Rotary Club of Westerville</strong> is again sponsoring the <strong><a href="http://www.fieldofheroes.org/rotary.html">Field of Heroes</a></strong> flag display at the southwest corner of Cleveland Ave. and County Line Rd. from May 29 - 31. This simple and touching tribute is really something to behold. To learn more, including how to purchase a flag, click here. <br />
<br />
As part of the Memorial Day weekend, the <strong><a href="http://www.wffmemorial.org/updates.htm">Westerville Fire Fighters Memorial Bike Tour</a> </strong>takes place on Saturday, May 29th at 9 a.m. You can participate in a 25, 50, or 75 mile bike tour around Westerville and surrounding areas and registration is $25 (check or cash). This event is open to all ages and all skill levels. To learn more or to register, click here.<br />
<br />
The <strong>Memorial Day parade</strong> is May 31, 2010, details to follow, so check back with the blog (normally the parade is in the a.m.). When you come up for the parade, allow time to follow the parade on its route past the Armory to Otterbein Cemetery -- it's just something people do on their own, just to honor - a truly heartfelt tradition. <br />
<br />
By the way, updating your American flag? The red, white, and blue <strong>retired flag collection boxes </strong>are located at the back entrance of <strong>City Hall</strong> (21 S. State) and the back entrance walkway into the <strong>Westerville Public Library</strong> (126 S. State).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142715732780060882.post-62348823732460943662010-04-23T18:45:00.002-04:002010-04-23T18:50:04.443-04:00Uptown Westerville is a Place to Celebrate, Remember, and Fight Back<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLyhXOfADl_WpNOOYIdP512neXU9CStbgil7G1-tUCLyf9jkucNYr-G97P2l2VYuYGez8fjruxkhlM1S7iifrYOJ7rq13UQcHc03Pmf_6I8TGT8L-Fp301d9rtWfptkzU9dsp7H2w35do/s1600/RelayForLife.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLyhXOfADl_WpNOOYIdP512neXU9CStbgil7G1-tUCLyf9jkucNYr-G97P2l2VYuYGez8fjruxkhlM1S7iifrYOJ7rq13UQcHc03Pmf_6I8TGT8L-Fp301d9rtWfptkzU9dsp7H2w35do/s200/RelayForLife.gif" tt="true" width="200" /></a></div><br />

State and E. Home Streets in the Church of the Messiah, UM parking lot.</strong> <br />
<br />
Market favorite vendors are returning for another season and the market's added some new vendors, too. <strong>The market is open for business every Wednesday, May through October, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.</strong> Home-grown. Home-made. All Ohio. <br />
<br />
The market meets rain or shine (within reason and with common sense -- in the case of lightning, market activity will supsend (to resume once the storm passes) and at that point, it's every man, woman, and child for themselves!!) and all market vendors have canopies. <br />
<br />
The Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market has a new web address this season (still working on the updated web site: right now, we have the home page and market directory): <a href="http://www.marketwednesday.com/">http://www.marketwednesday.com/</a> and email address: <a href="mailto:info@marketwednesday.com">info@marketwednesday.com</a><br />
<br />
The blog is the same: <a href="http://uptownwestervillefarmersmarket.blogspot.com/">http://uptownwestervillefarmersmarket.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
UWFM has a <strong>new logo</strong>: The logo with the ginkgo leaf represents the market seasons from spring to fall and Uptown Westerville. Besides the big, beautiful ginkgo tree at City Hall, State Street is lined with young ginkgo trees. The ginkgo tree is an ancient tree that represents resilience, longevity, prosperity, wisdom, hope, and peace. We couldn't think of a better symbol for the community or the market.<br />
<br />
WARM (<a href="http://www.warmwesterville.org/">Westerville Area Resource Ministry</a>) and the Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market are teaming up for year 3 of the <strong>WARM Fresh Green Program</strong>. <br />
<br />
Through the WARM Fresh Green Program market vendors accept Fresh Green vouchers so anyone in greater Westerville (the Westerville City School district) can purchase healthy fresh produce, fruit-bearing plants, and artisan foods no matter their need. In 2009, market vendors honored $2,470 in WARM Fresh Green vouchers and every eligible market vendor participated! <br />
<br />
If you would like to donate to the WARM Fresh Green Program, contact WARM via <a href="http://www.warmwesterville.org/">http://www.warmwesterville.org/</a> or email: <a href="mailto:info@warmwesterville.org">info@warmwesterville.org</a> or phone: 614.899.0196. <br />
<br />
Make Market Wednesdays a part of your summer routine -- dine Uptown Westerville for lunch, shop, visit, browse Uptown Westerville, and bring some farm-fresh home for dinner from the Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market. <br />
<br />
See you at the market!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142715732780060882.post-25082313948106944262010-04-23T18:07:00.001-04:002010-04-23T18:09:28.808-04:00Uptown Westerville is a Place for Otterbein College Founders' Days<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLSpipbuHMJ06G0glroEIyrfTqKV_x7NSifKmMzMS9LMPz6fCf2L49h7seM-Id7B1fVWrdqIuDovn7k4LDerSR2QnTUBEiRVXYqriAp0OqoqxD0FURGIXCpKKxQ0yzHqQ_GbP33mAIvfA/s1600/OtterbeinLogo.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLSpipbuHMJ06G0glroEIyrfTqKV_x7NSifKmMzMS9LMPz6fCf2L49h7seM-Id7B1fVWrdqIuDovn7k4LDerSR2QnTUBEiRVXYqriAp0OqoqxD0FURGIXCpKKxQ0yzHqQ_GbP33mAIvfA/s200/OtterbeinLogo.png" tt="true" width="200" /></a></div><strong><a href="http://www.otterbein.edu/default.asp">Otterbein College</a></strong> is bringing back <strong><a href="http://www.otterbein.edu/foundersday/index.asp">Founders' Days</a></strong> on <strong>April 24th, 25th, and 26th</strong>. <br />
