Logan’s Landing is pleased to announce the winner of the recent Scarecrow Row Competition. Event Chairman Rob McMinn stated, “Our panel of judges had a tough decision to make!  We were impressed by the creativity and imagination shown by all twenty-three competitors, but only one scarecrow could be chosen as the winner.  That winner is ‘The D’Ductible Family,’ created by Consolidated Union.”

For creating the winning scarecrow, Consolidated Union will receive a free advertising package valued at over $600, donated by the Cass County Communication Network, Mid-America Radio, and the Pharos-Tribune.  The scarecrows along Broadway and Market Street were enjoyed by passers-by, as well as hundreds of trick-or-treaters who participated in Downtown Spooktacular and the Elks Halloween parade.  Logan’s Landing Executive Director Becki Harris  stated, “We believe that the scarecrows created a fun atmosphere downtown, and caught the eye of residents and visitors alike.”

ARCADIA, IN-

On October 20th, Indiana Main Street honored the People’s Winery of Logansport with the 2011 Indiana Main Street Best Historic Rehabilitation Award during the statewide Indiana Main Street Conference, held at Alice’s Restaurant in Arcadia, Indiana. The Indiana Main Street Program is managed by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA).

“Congratulations to Brad and Stacie of People’s Winery on this well-deserved award,” said Lt. Governor Skillman, who oversees OCRA.  Their downtown revitalization efforts are helping promote economic activity in their community.”

The People’s Winery, originally the People’s Bank, was constructed in the 1870’s.  After standing vacant since the 1970’s and falling into disrepair, the Cass County Historic Preservation Foundation received a Wabash Heritage Corridor grant with matching funds from Indiana Landmarks.  Years later, Brad and Stacie Angle purchased the building in 2010 and began renovations to transform the building into the People’s Winery.  Now, artwork from various local artists adorns the walls and the building is used for a variety of events, including book signings, press conferences, and private parties.

Indiana Main Street was established to provide economic revitalization and professional assistance to participating communities.  Indiana Main Street encourages the revitalization and restoration of downtown areas in Indiana cities and towns.

The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs was created by legislation in
2005, making rural Indiana a major focus for the first time. For additional
