Spring is finally here so most of the warm-weather events in Kosciusko County are starting to ramp up. This includes the opening of the Garden at Winona (delayed a week from its original opening date) and the outdoor Tiki Bar at the Channel Marker in Syracuse. Plus, the downtown farmers and artisans market kicks off this Saturday! And lest we forget … an early “Happy Cinco de Mayo!”
This column is meant to be an additional channel beyond social media for food-related businesses to get the word out so I removed the references to Facebook page IDs. I figured if you wanted to find more info on each business/event, you could search on Google or find it yourself on Facebook. If there’s a huge outcry from the 24 people who will read this, I’ll add the IDs back in.
