Students in primary and secondary schools (public and private, K-12) are invited to design a poster for the 24th annual River Sweep 2013.  The poster contest is open to students living in or attending schools in counties bordering the Ohio River, or counties participating in the River Sweep.

Fifteen prizes will be awarded.  The grand prize is a $500 and the school representing the grand prize winner will also receive an award.  A $500 prize will be presented to the student with the winning design for the official River Sweep t-shirt.  Thirteen $50 prizes will be awarded to one winner at each grade level.

Lincoln Amphitheatre will combine mystery and comedy in a play to take its stage in September. 

They will produce a community production of the two-act play (not musical) The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 opening on September 14.

“The fourth and final theatrical production of our 25th anniversary season should be fun for everyone.  Cooler fall weather combined with some mystery and humor will make this the perfect opportunity to plan a visit to Lincoln Amphitheatre,” says Dan Wilkinson, executive director for Lincoln Amphitheatre.   

Community volunteers are needed to study famly histories, share photographs, records and stories from German Ridge.  The German Ridge Heritage Project is collaboration between Hoosier National Forest and Indiana University to document the lives and culture of early settlers in the Perry County community.

This project will include archival research, oral histories, cemetery studies, genealogy, and an archaeological excavation of one or more farmsteads.
