Yeah yeah.

I look up to the sky with all the beautiful color but, there's more than just for me so gonna share it with another.

I got to show, to give, let out, I want to sing and shout.

Take a look and see A beautiful morning that turns into beautiful evening.

And together make a beautiful life.

And if you want see, then come along with me.

That's right.

Welcome to Experience Michiana.

We're so glad you joined us today.

I love food and of course our traditional food is a corn dog.

And Bristol is putting a corn dog festival together.

You got to check out all the things that they are going to be offering.

I also had the chance to check out a couple other things across Michiana, including right here at the Lerner.

The Mystery on Main Street.

It's a phenomenal fundraiser that Premier Arts is putting on together.

You're going to be sure to make sure you get your ticket for that.

But first up, we're talking about the Blue Moon Barn and Vintage Market.

Amazing property.

And we're going to show you all that they have to offer.

Well, you may have seen this space before here on experienced Michiana, but there are some changes headed your way.

The Blue Moon Vintage market I have my lovely friends here.

And you guys have exciting news to share with everyone.

There's a big shift coming for you guys.

There is.

It's a big pivot.

It's happening in our space.

So we've been primarily retail for over ten years.

Relocated here from Three Oaks in 2020 and built the building.

And it's been retail this whole time.

And now we're kind of shifting into micro weddings and small events.

I love that.

I love that such great purpose.

There is still some stuff for people if they want to do some shopping while they're here.

Right?

There is.

Okay.

Okay, good.

Okay.

So big stuff is happening.

You have some Airbnbs and they're right here in this beautiful space.

Let's first, can we talk about the barn?

Sure.

Can we do that?

I mean, this your husband, like, built this from the ground up.

Is that right?

He's amazing.

Tell me about all the work that went into making this happen.

Well, he designed the building itself.

People are like, well, what kind of a kit is this?

And, like, it's a Rog design.

So he.

He designed it and he'd been in the industry for all of his life.

Would.

So he had a lot of nice connections with, metal building specialists and such.

And he just started working on it.

He set us up with some jigs outside to cut the beams.

And so you got your hands dirty, too?

I know where we went.

I love it.

Family project it is.

And this.

All of this space a family project.

And you guys work so well together.

What is it like working with your mother?

It's good.

We.

If we're lucky that we get along well, we do.

I moved to the farm temporarily ten years ago.

We're located here on our rescue farm with 80 acres.

So I moved in temporarily ten years ago.

Yeah.

And we're in Westville, Indiana.

Right?

And this is a great space because it is closely connected or close enough to the South Bend area, which works very well for the new Airbnb business.

Right.

It does.

We're a mile and a half off the toll road and I four miles off 94.

So we're kind of right in between two major road from Chicago to elsewhere and all that good stuff too.

Can we go check out one of the spaces?

Yeah, let's do that.

Okay.

I see it.

I mean, I thought it was an office up there, but you could actually sleep there.

It's inside of our retail store event space.

Yes, it's a loft that we put in.

Let's go check it out.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

This place is great.

Oh, my gosh, a nice king bed in here, too.

It is a king bed.

Okay, so how many people can stay in this?

Just the two.

We market it for two.

For two adults only.

No children.

Just being on the farm and being in our event space with the retail, we are more comfortable starting it off that way.

And this is a great.

It's I mean, it's so open it gives you that studio apartment kind of feel.

Right.

Yeah.

And it's secluded.

So you have access to the farm where they can go out and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, or come in here and just kind of check out from everything.

And we do have Wi-Fi, but so far the guests have chosen not to participate.

Oh, it's kind of social.

Yeah, I love it.

Well this is a great space for somebody to just come up and relax.

And it is secluded back here too.

So I mean we've got to head outside too, so you can kind of hear what nature has to offer.

Yeah.

Let's show you the other Airbnb too.

All right.

Let's do that.

Okay, so before we head out to the next Airbnb space, as soon as I came down the stairs, I noticed all this beautiful table settings.

I mean, this is perfectly set up for an event, I'm assuming.

Yeah, we just had a surprise 50th anniversary renewal ceremony gourmet dinner party in here Saturday night.

So we strip all the tables down with merchandise, and then the guests can come in and have their meal here.

I love it and then mean can decorate in here too.

I mean, this is already just a fantastic backdrop as it is, right you it is now.

Okay, I have to ask you.

There are workshops that you guys do here too.

We do.

Do we do cooking workshops?

We've got a hat burning class coming up.

That's so cool.

It's so much fun.

The girls have so much fun doing that.

The cooking classes have been the most popular though.

Sound very interesting.

Now, how can people sign up for any of the workshop or events like that that you're having?

It's all on our website.

Okay, so Blue Moon Vintage market.com under events and it's also on our Facebook under events.

And I'm assuming they'll probably sell out to you.

So you want to make sure that you check it out because it'll sound like great events.

And just to be in this space I think is really just it's cool.

Yeah.

And a lot of fans, when they're coming here, they don't know where they're coming.

So they're going down this big country, windy gravel road and not sure where I am.

Exactly.

So for the people who are coming and want to do an event, how many people can you have here?

For our events, we've posted up to 40 for cooking classes, but I think we're more comfortable.

Yeah, for micro weddings and that sort of thing.

We're doing 50 50.

That's our comfortable number.

We've stretched a little past that on occasion.

We were using my dad.

Yes.

And we're easing my dad into everything where he's like, no more than 20 people.

And we're like, okay, okay, you send him off to menards and comes back in there, 60 people in there.

So in the outdoor space that you have for Airbnb too is great for perhaps a couple who wants to come and maybe spend the night after their event.

They don't have to leave the area.

They can just rest.

Let's go check that out next.

Okay.

All right.

Sounds great.

Okay, Jen, this is the space to be.

It is so relaxing.

We're out here.

I feel like we're one with nature outside.

It's just so quiet and peaceful.

And it is.

You're on 80 acres, so it's just kind of there.

700 acres to the south of us, and I think 75 to the north.

And oh my gosh, it's just kind of nice and quiet.

You don't expect it.

So we're in front of the Airbnb.

But I mean, this is unique in itself, right?

Yeah.

So this is a 1971 Airstream that we've restored.

And made more like what we would call a modern tiny house.

Yeah.

So it was not in the best of shape when we got it.

And I know you have another Airstream just a side that you're working on too.

So that's where you started from essentially.

Yeah, we started with this one.

And then my dad's friend found the other one locally and we didn't think we needed two, but we got it for a really good price.

So yeah, we decided we'll do two and see.

And your dad did all the restoration?

Yeah.

We have, we got to check that.

I did the, the buffing in the polishing on the outside.

Oh, I'm sure that was about 200 hours.

Yeah.

If you want to know how long it takes.

Yeah, it took a minute.

Let's head in.

So how many people can be in this one two market?

This one also for 2.

It can sleep four.

Okay.

But we market it as comfortable for two.

Oh look at this space.

It's got kind of a modern rustic feel.

Yeah.

Would you say that.

Yeah.

Like modern tiny home.

We got rid of the septic tank underneath.

So it's not okay.

I'm sorry.

The bladder tank.

So it's actually connected to septic.

Awesome.

So again this is great for somebody who wants to come and do a micro wedding here.

Stay here overnight so they don't have to worry about a long drive back home.

Anything like that, or just folks who are coming on their way through Chicago or to Chicago or or just living there.

I just need a night away.

Yeah, yeah, we've got a couple coming in from Ireland this weekend.

Right.

Okay.

So if you're coming in from Ireland, this is also the place to be.

So random.

But it's been fun to meet just the different guests that find us through Airbnb in vivo.

And yeah, our website also there's one from that too.

Okay.

That's always great to be able to find that.

I can hear the crickets outside.

Yeah, we've got a bald eagle right now too.

That flies over.

Really?

Yeah.

On occasion.

So it's and you guys are going have a pond out here.

We do.

Can we fish in it?

You can bring some of the locals just showed up to fish fry.

We were in between takes.

So.

Yeah, they're they're out there enjoying the quiet today as well I love it okay.

So great space for people to come and rent.

You have a couple options.

But really I mean you guys are doing these event spaces and outdoors here in the garden.

That's going to be the space that we want to talk about next, right?

Yes.

Yeah.

The micro wedding make micro garden.

Yes.

Let's do it because it's beautiful.

God.

Okay.

If you don't want to have your wedding indoors I mean the outdoor space is where it's at.

Yeah.

This has been our big project this year where we just kind of started saving plants from the local wholesalers as they were doing, discounts at the end of the year.

Started that last year.

And now we're rescuing animals and plants and just flowers.

And I have to ask you, I mean, you beautiful floral work, are you doing a lot of the gardening here?

Yeah, I, I do primarily most of the gardening with a lot of help with, weeding is like the biggest thing that we have to do here.

I'm sure making sure everything's watered and clipped and it's my happy place.

And how did it all come together?

I mean, tell me about that experience.

The garden itself.

Yeah.

This used to be my riding arena.

really?

so.

Yeah.

Okay, so this is your family space.

You're right.

It is.

Okay.

So then one year we just thought, well the riding arena was in demise and we don't write anymore.

So we had a big bucket full of zinnias seeds and just threw them out.

That's where they lived.

And it was the most beautiful thing and we enjoyed it so, so very much.

So we started this last year.

So last year we basically had the fence, the concrete troughs and this arch where we were like, let's just see what happens.

And it really had no like true rhyme or reason to it.

So now we've got these vines that have gone crazy and it's everything is a little bit more structured this year where we had our first event over the weekend with a the surprise wedding anniversary, renewal ceremony, which was fun.

And then we have our first official micro wedding a week from Saturday.

When you say micro, that's like that's like 50 people for us, for our micro number is 50 people.

Okay.

It's gone, give or take a little from that.

But our structured goal is 50.

So you guys have so much to offer here.

Between event space, the market that still has a little bit left in it.

For anybody who's coming out for your events here or the Airbnb rentals.

I could see some senior pictures happening out yesterday when the garden wouldn't be a bad idea and all that stuff.

How can people best get a hold of you?

Our website is, Blue Moon Vintage market.com, and we're shifting from Blue Moon Vintage Market to Blue Moon Barn.

Okay, so we're kind of doing our that name that.

Yeah.

So our socials are Blue Moon Barn and Vintage Market right now okay.

And then eventually maybe we'll drop off the vintage market and just keep it as Blue Moon Barn.

So as long as we're still doing some retail and maybe some pop ups and things, different markets coming up.

So awesome.

Well, thank you ladies so much for sharing your your homestead, your space with us and all that you guys do here.

It's just a wonderful space.

I hope everyone has a chance to come out and visit.

Thank you so much.

I'm here in downtown Bristol, Indiana, with Mike Yoder, who is the town manager of Bristol.

Mike, tell us about where we are today, this park that we're in.

It's First time I've been in Bristol lots of times to visit the food pantry because I do some work with them and help them out at the hub over there, but I've never been down into this park, so I guess a lot of people watching and probably never been here either, but well, I don't know.

It's Congdon park, it's the largest, park in the town of Bristol, and this is where we hold most of our festivals.

So yeah, homecoming is here, car shows are here, and the Corn Dog Festival will be here.

September sixth.

Nice.

So the corn dog festival?

My wife actually used to work in media, and she did a story about about the corn dog festival, and.

And then I watched that, and I was thinking to myself, I had no idea that Bristol was famous for this.

This was a couple of years ago.

But but actually, tell me about the history of the corn dog in Bristol, Indiana.

Yeah, I'm not sure how far back I can go with the corn dog aspect of it, but the facility has been here for a number of years, and then monogram bought it.

And, this is monogram is multi-state operation.

But here is where they make corn dogs.

80% of the corn dogs made in the USA made right here in Bristol by Monogram Foods.

And so what was the idea behind embracing that and turning it into a festival?

Actually started out with the employees at monogram thought that, you know, this is something unique.

Why not celebrate this?

And like the idea of a corn dog festival is catchy and people like the concept.

Yes So the employees started started that, monogram for, monogram Loves Kids is a not for profit.

Yeah.

Help sponsor it.

All the proceeds went to the hub.

Hearts United for Bristol, not for profit here and in Bristol.

But after three years, it was time for this to evolve.

And so Bristol on the river, the downtown organization has taken on that responsibility.

And we're reimagining parts of that festival for this year same not for profit status, though funds that are raised are going to not for profit organizations.

Nice.

And I know you mentioned monogram and their foundation that they have I know I see it a lot.

They give money to different nonprofits, are in the community and very involved with children.

So it's important for them to give back.

And I know you don't work for them.

So they can speak on that for themselves.

But but giving back to this and keeping it downtown, what do you really hope from people watching obviously come to visit Bristol.

What's the what's the general opinion of Bristol from people that don't really come here?

Well, we're hoping this festival stands out a bit from the other summer festivals, which are really important for our downtowns.

They bring people to the downtown to, you know, help local merchants and just add some vitality and vibrancy.

I think to the Downtown Corn Dog Festival, I think stands out because it has more of a backyard neighborhood party feel to it, more low key, very family oriented.

We have free games for kids, vintage games this year, lots of food vendors, of course, and then some.

Nice entertainment on two stages.

Nice.

All right, so, Micah, there's also some contest going on.

I hear the Bristol corn dog eating champ.

Is that like the eat as many as you can in a minute or something?

Or.

What's that?

All right.

I forget what the time frame is, but yes, there's, How many corn dogs can you eat in a particular time set?

So there is a reigning champion.

Yeah.

That will be back this year, but we've done that for three years or so this year.

Number four, there'll be an open contest so you can sign up the day of.

Yeah, I may we also have some municipality folks that compete against each other like a local Joey Chestnut.

Isn't that the guy that does the hot dogs?

Oh yeah.

I think that was his name.

Yeah.

All right, so what else have we got here?

Well, we also have, we've added this year a wiener dog costume contest.

Okay.

Happening.

And, and another new exciting one is a corn dog king contest.

And so we're looking for entries on both of these right now.

You still sign up on the website.

And, I promised somebody yesterday that I would pay entry fees for any men that wanted to enter the contest for the King.

Contest is a free.

It is now, I'll use all of my Social security check to pay.

But anyways, the King contest.

It's.

It seems intimidating for men.

I don't know what the deal is, but you just come and you are interviewed by a few queen queens that, you know, like the Elkhart County 4H queen.

I'm not sure who which queens they have come in the interview.

You have to do a small talent.

So turkey calling, reading poetry badly.

Something stupid like that is fine.

Really.

When you thought of talent, the first thing that came to mind was a turkey call.

I actually have a town employee that was planning to do that or might do that.

Okay, so it wasn't my first, but mine was reading poetry badly.

But the winner gets a $1,000 Blackstone Grill.

Pretty cool.

The winner, not the weiner.

The other thing we have, is a variety of food vendors, and there's a competition among the food vendors on their take on a corndog.

So we have a variety.

They'll be Mexican corn dogs.

They'll be deconstructed corn dogs.

They'll be a corn dog and an egg roll.

These all sounds pretty cool.

And then we have a crafts, well crafted village as well, with a variety of vendors, lots of fun stuff.

And so again, you mentioned it's on September 6th.

At what time is it on during the day?

Is it all day?

It starts at 10:00 and ends at 7:00 in the evening.

Okay.

And again, as you mentioned, for people outside of Bristol who have probably never been here, I mean, I've been here, but I've never taken my family here.

But this park is beautiful, too.

I mean, you have a kayak launch over here as well, so there's lots for people to do around here.

It's right on the, mighty Saint Joe River.

So it's a very beautiful setting, we think.

And, great place to have, activities like festivals, but even daily activities, this park actually gets quite a bit of use.

Not quite as much as a pickleball court, but it's a lot of use.

And there's plenty of parking in the downtown area.

We'll have to walk here.

Although, we have an arrangement with ADEC so you can park at ADEC.

Oh, yeah.

Nice.

And they will provide, delivery.

Delivery services.

Yes.

Here.

Specially, especially if you, have some issues with mobility.

They'll be able to transport you here and drop you off right here at the park.

I think that's a good idea, because they're only five minutes away up the road, so that's perfect.

So, we love ADEC as well.

So it's a it's a good, it's a good organization to have here.

And I know they've been here a long time.

I like their cafe.

They have them there.

It's a good spot that I wish more people would actually go in and use like an.

Well, I think that's part of, of us attempting to cooperate with them, collaborate with them as it gets new people on their facility.

Yeah.

So the Corn Dog Festival, September 6th, it's very unique.

Do you know if there's any other corndog festivals in the United States now, at this stage, or does anyone, this is the only one.

If I did, I forgot.

So no, we're the only one that I know of.

All right.

And it's all here.

As you mentioned, 80% of the corn dogs in the United States are made, here in Bristol, Indiana, which I think is pretty cool.

And are you going to dress up as a corn dog or, there's been some attempts, but so far I've been successfully pushing those back.

You can only imagine how I feel around Saint Patrick's Day, while people to get me to dress up like a leprechaun.

Exactly.

I got the right height, but, I'm not doing it, you know?

So all right, well, Mike, thank you so much.

And thank you for all the effort you put in and whether people come to that or not, I hope to come and experience downtown Bristol.

So thank you.

Well, today I'm in a space that I actually have never been in before, but I'm at the Lerner with my friends here.

Tanner.

I always love you, and you look so sharp today.

Thank you.

You know, we have an event coming up, so I thought I'd get a little dapper.

I'm a little dapper.

I love in 1920s theme I'm guessing.

Absolutely.

I love it.

You guys do so many wonderful things here for the community with Premiere Arts.

And you guys have an important event that's coming up where people can support you.

Yes.

And a very fun, different kind of way.

Oftentimes when we are asking for people to come support the arts, it's buying a ticket to a show or just making a pure of a donation.

But we've kind of put our heads together and thinking, how can we really get the community together in a theatrical way, which I love?

I love this, and this is a great way to because this is happening here at the Lerner in allowing people to explore the space, you know, in a mysterious type of way.

Right?

Yes.

Because we are doing a good old fashioned murder mystery.

I love this murder on Main Street right here at the Lerner.

And it takes place at near the grand opening of the Lerner 100 years ago, 1924.

Because we're still celebrating the 100 years right now.

Run all year, baby.

Yes it is.

It doesn't end any way to celebrate it, though.

Yes.

And really allow you to transport yourself back to that beginning because so many of the building has been renovated, but it still keeps that iconic feel.

And so we really want to transport people back to that time, back to that era, and maybe impose a little bit of false history into the opening.

Okay.

So this is not necessarily a truthfull hstory, right?

No.

Okay.

These events did not take place, which allows you to know, I think the Lerner would appreciate us making that point.

Yes, very much.

But, throughout the night, you will meet some Elkhart historical figures.

We've kind of created our own story that weaves in people that were iconic to the foundation of Elkhart 100 years ago, along with some other, maybe starlet actresses, from Hollywood.

Maybe bring in some Chicago ties for a little extra intrigue.

And, the cool thing about the murder mystery is I've been to a few in my life, and they can run a couple different ways.

One, you just purely sit and you watch it happen in front of you, others where you're getting up, and you have a part.

Yes you are.

You got your script ahead of time, your your story.

You're about to do.

Exactly.

We've kind of found a way to blend the two so that for those who want to take part, they can feel like they were part of the story.

If you just want to sit back and watch, that is completely possible.

Okay?

Okay.

We have got lots of great actors kind of portraying the main story.

But it's going to be up to you to help kind of figure out and see if you can be correct in your who classic whodunit.

Okay.

And I don't, I don't know who did it.

Maybe you're gonna have to find out who did it.

I don't either.

I mean, technically the murder hasn't taken place yet, so we don't we know nothing yet.

But I will be your host of the evening, Harry Lerner.

I love opening my grand theater, but, there's a little bit of rivalry, because if you rewind the clock.

100 years ago, there was this beautiful Buckland opera house right across the street.

And, it didn't quite have the long lasting that the Lerner has.

And so we kind of take back to that point where there's a little bit of a rivalry between this new theater opening right across the street from an existing beautiful opera house.

Also some Hollywood ties.

We found a few actresses, for example, the lead actress, Catherine McGuire from The Navigator, which was the first movie they showed here in the opening.

Wow.

So we've invited the two guys included, all of those.

Those kind of Easter eggs?

Yes.

Classic Elkhart Easter eggs, I love it.

So we've invited her to attend the event as the starlet.

But also some, homegrown actresses that maybe are looking for their point in the spotlight.

And then you have some shady characters, maybe Chicago, kind of sticking around everything else.

So we'll see.

We'll see what happens.

I love it, and I mean, this is all really for a great cause.

There's a reason why you guys are doing this.

You do your annual fundraiser to help Premiere Arts, and this one is important.

It's very important.

When you come see a premiere art show, constantly, we hear this was unlike anything that I've ever seen, especially for community theater.

They constantly arts like these.

Were these people from you hired these people from Chicago, right.

This is a tour like.

No, these are people, teachers, librarians.

They work at the grocery store.

You.

I knew that I was in one of the last shows.

It was great.

It was so much fun.

And finally I, you know, took you long enough, I know it.

My girls are in the next one coming up to.

Yes, we've got descendants just around the corner.

We do.

But I mean it truly to to go on to what you're saying.

The talent here is just incredible.

And and it is top level across Michiana.

It is.

And it's expensive.

If I can be that blunt, putting on a show to the scale that we are able to do thanks to the support is expensive and it takes a lot of dollars.

Craig, the executive artistic director, likes to say that these shows now cost more than his first house.

Oh my gosh, not getting into the crazy market at this point, right?

Yeah, but it's expensive.

And the only way that we can do it is through the support of the community, whether that's through ticket or through fundraisers like this, so people can purchase their tickets for this event.

Still right there.

So available.

Yes.

How can they get more information?

Because when is it happening?

I don't even know if we said that.

Yeah.

When does that happening?

It's happening September 12th.

That's Friday next.

Upcoming Friday, September 12th, 6 p.m..

Okay.

You can find all the information you need on our website, Premier arts.org.

Scroll down to Featured Events.

You can find it right there.

You can buy a single ticket.

You could buy a table of eight.

Oh great.

So if you have a company maybe you want to sponsor a table.

Absolutely awesome.

That's a great way and a great outing for staff.

And just to know that you are not only having a good time, but it's going towards a great cause I love it.

Are people going to be able to kind of explore the lerner in new ways while they're here?

We are going to kind of take you through some pieces of the learner.

It's going to start actually on stage.

It's going to feel like a speakeasy.

You're not going to enter through the front door because we kind of don't need the cops letting, to know what we're up to.

So you said speakeasy.

So I'm assuming costumes are allowed and courage.

Okay, great.

Not required.

If that's not quite your shtick, but definitely encourage and help you get, you're gonna be very dapper for that.

Oh, yeah.

There's going to be costumes galore.

But.

So you're going to enter through a back alley into the stage.

Maybe we'll need a code word to get in.

Okay.

And then as events take place, we might need to vacate the premises, to elsewhere, where maybe you can enjoy more of a formal dinner, maybe a little bit more of your walking shoe.

Then we won't take you far.

Okay?

Okay, okay.

It's not like a haunted tour you're not going to see, all right?

But it's going to feel very immersive.

That's one thing that we're interested in.

And all the funds that you guys raise support the programs.

Tell us what you guys have coming up next, because you have a lot of stuff on the docket, especially for the second half of this year.

Yeah, it feels like this year's already over because we're already thinking about next year.

Right?

But we still have got plenty more exciting things coming up.

Like you mentioned before, we've got descendants.

The musical has got a mainstage cast and an all youth cast.

This is incredible.

That's the Disney movie.

For those that don't know about the villains, I don't know about the Decendant I mean the music.

I can't stop listening to the music.

It's such a good time.

And then, towards the end of the year, we're going to have another youth opportunity.

101 Dalmatians.

We'll need lots of kids for that.

That's a great one.

Yeah.

And then one of them.

Alongside that, we're also continuing the celebration of 100 years of the learner by offering a gift, a true gift to the community with a free performance.

Thanks to the Elkhart County Visitor Bureau in the city of Elkhart, they partnered so they can make this a free opportunity.

And it's going to be an original musical by Craig Gibson and one, Carlos Alarcon writing the music.

And it's going to talk and celebrate the opening of the Lerner 100 years ago.

That's amazing.

So, so many great things that you guys have coming up.

All the more reason to support the arts and I mean the arts themselves.

It brings the community together.

It ties it in in a way that is unlike anything I've ever seen.

I have seen people come from out of town.

Maybe they just moved, or maybe they used to love theater when they were kids in high school.

But then they take that leap and they join this community, and they immediately find a family like you've experienced it.

We've been trying to get you to do it for years, and now you feel like you have an entire family tree of people that, that just wrap their arms around you the minute you need it.

And that is true even if you're not a performer on stage.

But I feel like that's true even when you come and sit in the theater in a seat that you feel, you just feel it.

Yes.

Show weekend, I just leave feeling so full.

My heart is bursting at the seams.

Just feeling the energy in that room of people celebrating, the passion of the that we love.

And also just highlighting the talent that we have here in this community.

Absolutely.

We want to keep that going.

So all the more reason to get your ticket and coming out to the murder on Main Street.

Thank you so much, Tanner.

Thank you.

Good luck with your.

I'm to be there.

Put you on the spot now, maybe in my in my flapper costume.

Yes.

You better be dressed up in.

Well, we are still celebrating 100 years here at the Lerner.

And you want to make sure that you enjoy everything that we have to experience here in Michiana.

We'll see you next week.
