The planning is shaping up for the fundraising events this summer designed to help us purchase the MacLyn Campground property on US 52 for the purpose of developing an Interpretive Center for the entire Whitewater Canal Corridor Region, consisting of several counties in Southeast Indiana and probably a couple of counties in Southwest Ohio.
A big project- nearly a million dollars are required for the project, but we have identified a grant that will cover 80% of the purchase price, and have secured commitments for some significant chunks of our 20%. We still need to raise on the order of $20,000.
July 4th will be a big day in Metamora with the parade getting underway about 6:00 p.m., the Ducky Derby at about 6:30, a stage show at 8:30 pm consisting of the Mayor of Metamora candidates debate and maybe some live music, followed by the annual fireworks show at dusk.
The 2nd Annual "Metamorons Actors Guild" Dinner and Show is scheduled for two nights this year, August 4 and 5, at the Depot Restaurant in Metamora. This is a fundraiser dinner at $30 per ticket (call 765-647-3360 to make your reservation or email copperron@aol.com ) and a live stage show/variety/comedy show with local Metamora talent. Last year's show was such a success that it was planned for two nights this year.
September 16 will see the 2nd Annual Car Show and Soc Hop. This year the show will take place on the streets of the town itself, and many more cool cars are expected. Show starts at 3:30 pm, food and dancing starts at 5:00 pm while judging of cars goes on. Awards presented at 9:00 pm.
Call 765-647-3360 or 4328 for more info.
