What’s cookin’ at the new Event Center? 🧑‍🍳 

Outside food and beverages won’t be permitted in the new event center (no surprise). But you won’t need it. You’ll feel right at home with some locally named soon-to-be favs like:

• Fuel Zone

• Geist Tavern

• Railyard Pub

• Nickel Plate Market

… and more. They’re hosting a tasting for media in the coming weeks so I’ll give you the scoop on where to line up when you go to an event there. Like the upcoming Mudsock rivalry basketball game between HSE and Fishers.

🚨 Neighborhood Vibrancy Grants for 2025 are open

This is a mega popular program that can help cover 80% of the cost for improvements to your ‘hood, up to $25,000.

It’s so popular that all of 2024’s $$ ran out halfway through this year. So seriously — don’t put this off if you think your neighborhood could use park improvements, solar lights, safety installations, and much more.

The City of Fishers has a full list of preferred projects and discouraged ones, to increase your hit rate for award selection 🎯

Making Thanksgiving easy

Don’t feel like cooking for Turkey Day? No problem. Here is Yelp’s top 10 restaurants near Fishers that will be serving up on Thanksgiving.

Are you in charge of the pie, but prefer leaving baking to others? The Food Florist to the rescue! You can also stock up on her freezer-to-oven meals for easy peasy meal prep while you’ll be housing all of those relatives. Her blueberry french toast is my favorite!
