The Heart of Lebanon

Thank you Greek's Pizzeria hosting June's Downtown Dinner Club!

We had a great time chatting with new friends and learning all about their favorite and least favorite pizza topping!

We don't think you'll see very many olive and anchovy pizzas at this table.

Thank you Courtney for the great service, Greek's Pizzeria for the great food and all those who came to get to know members of your community.

in Downtown Lebanon with great food and good friends.

Saturday was an incredible morning for Yoga in the Heart. The weather was absolutely perfect, and we loved seeing our community come together to move, breathe, and connect on the courthouse lawn. From our youngest participants to our oldest, we saw all ages and experience levels sharing the space together in thanks to our four amazing instructors.

We loved seeing so many of you stick around afterward to shop local, enjoy lunch, and downtown! Looking for more ways to enjoy our beautiful historic district? Check out our website at www.heartoflebanon.org.

Last night was definitely a test of endurance. A huge thank you to our vendors, who were quite literally holding down their tents and getting creative on the fly to keep their displays from blowing away. It was incredible to see them stepping in to help one another out, grabbing weights additional weights and securing neighbor booths as the wind picked up.

It is a great reminder of just how much effort goes into setting up a market booth every week. Behind the scenes, these small business owners have to constantly account for unpredictable weather, complex logistics, and heavy equipment just to bring their goods to the community safely.

While the threat of incoming storms forced us to pack things up a bit earlier than usual, we really appreciate everyone who came out to enjoy the cooler temperatures and support our vendors anyway.

Next Tuesday, we will be back on the square with over 25 vendors. We are also hosting Paintings by Anita who will be leading an outdoor watercolor class. Space for the workshop is limited, so if you'd like to participate, you can grab your tickets now at www.lebanoncitymarket.com.

Thanks as always to our presenting sponsor, Eli Lilly and Company, for making these market nights possible. See you next week!

Work continues on replacement of the granite steps into the Boone County Indiana Courthouse on the east side.

No discarded treasures were found with the exception of a bottle of root beer.

The treasure here is this magnificent building. We think that’s something we can all agree on.
