Since we’ve all been having so much fun in the snow and ice, we looked up another time when we dealt with snowy conditions. Pictures are from downtown Evansville during the blizzard of 1918.

Indiana Grown awards $25,000 in grants to members for trade show exhibitions
Indiana Grown, the state’s only agricultural marketing initiative, has announced seven members received a total of $25,000 in grant funding to promote their products at trade shows nationwide.
Tradeshows offer vital exposure to unique customers and business-to-business clients, but barriers for members include the booth fee, travel expenses, set up costs and more. This grant was designed to alleviate some of those costs to ensure Hoosier businesses are highlighted and Indiana-made products can be enjoyed both nationally and internationally.
This was a competitive grant process and grants were awarded to businesses with commercially ready products who want to expand.
The Indiana Grown program has over 1,500 members who grow, raise, process or produce agriculture related products. This program helps promote local businesses and expand their markets to national and international buyers.
Awarded grantees include:
Tell City Pretzels from Tell City
Tulip Tree Creamery from Indianapolis
Bee Great from Churubusco
Cute as a Cupcake from Merrillville
Smoking Goose from Indianapolis
Market Square Popcorn from Indianapolis
Old Major Market from Indianapolis
Tulip Tree Creamery and Smoking Goose will be using the funding to attend the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City. Other winners will be attending the National Restaurant Show in Chicago and the Snacks and Sweets Expo in Indianapolis.

FOUR HOOSIERS EARN BIG TEN WEEKLY AWARDS
Indiana swept both the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week and the Diver of the Week awards for the January 8 cycle, winning four of the six available weekly awards, after splitting its dual meet at No. 4/4 Florida last Friday.
Junior Owen McDonald captured his third Big Ten Swimmer of the Week award this season after sweeping his individual events (100 back, 200 back, 200 IM) in the men’s victory. Senior Anna Peplowski also swept her events (100 free, 200 free, 200 IM) and posted the meet’s fastest split in the 400-yard freestyle relay.
On the boards, senior Carson Tyler earned his seventh-career Big Ten weekly award as the men’s diver of the week. Tyler finished first on 1-meter (425.33) and second on 3-meter (385.43) in 1-2 finishes with teammate Quinn Henninger. A first-time weekly award winner, sophomore Ella Roselli won the women’s 1-meter event (297.53) and then took third on 3-meter (324.53).
SWIMMING SUCCESS AT SHORT COURSE WORLDS
Ten athletes and coaches with ties to the Indiana swimming and diving program – nine members of the active roster – participated in the 2024 World Aquatics Championships (25m) in Budapest, Hungary. Together, the athletes combined for two world championships, five medals and 13 national records during the early-December meet.
In a meet that saw 30 world records go down, it was perhaps Zalán Sárkány that received the greatest roar from his hometown Budapest crowd. Sárkány sent the Duna Arena into a frenzy when he touched first in the men’s 800-meter freestyle, Hungary’s first of two world titles at the meet. The reigning NCAA Champion in the 1,650-yard freestyle, Sárkány’s performance marked his first world championship as well as a national record with a time of 7:30.56.
