What comes to mind when you hear strawberry feta cheese sunflower seed salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing? Is it a healthy food option at a nice restaurant? I bet the first thing that came to mind wasn't theme park food! I was as surprised as you probably are to hear this new addition to Holiday World's food menu.
When you think about it, theme park food is part of the whole experience. We want a day of fun and out of the ordinary experiences which include burgers, ice cream, cotton candy, fudge, french fries and corn dogs. Stereotypically similar to really bad for you fast food or even closer...

This video of the mommy and baby Jaguar's is from March 5th 2010, filmed at Mesker Zoo in Evansville, IN. The video does a good job of showing just how close patrons can get to the animals and the ingenuity put into the design of the Jaguar cage.
Complete with concrete foot prints and glass cage, it's truly an experience for adults and kids. I'd also like to mention that it's best to visit the Zoo as early in the morning as possible, it seems that this is the most active time for the animals. On this particular day the Jaguar was even more active, since it was the first warm sunny day of the...

I first noticed one of the residents of Evansville on Twitter asking why Evansville stunk. Figured it had something to do with his specific location. Unfortunately as soon as I walked outside I smelled what seemed like a pile of rotting wet rags.
Since then there have been 2 others mention the stench that seems to be moving all over the city. Of course there hasn't been an official response or comment in the media, Hoyt of Channel 14 WFIE made an observation.
Likely farming. We did a story out of Gibson Co. about using turkey litter which has strong smell when it gets wet and warmer.
So, if you...

I'm a child of the internet, but even so I still haven't came to terms with buying large purchases online. Rather, I can't stomach buying hardly anything online, no matter the price. Some of the problem is that I'm an immediate gratification kind of person, when I buy it, I want it now, now after a few days shipping. Also, I just don't like the idea of my info floating around and not in the intertubes, but rather to whoever Joe Blow happens to be looking at the order database.
Because of my fears I always price items online and then try to buy them locally. This usually ends with me paying a...

Spent my lunch break walking around Garvin Park yesterday. I'll head over there on a regular basis to eat my lunch in peace in my truck, but yesterday I wanted to get some video of the ducks and geese walking on ice. I also shot some footage of kids that instructed me that they were the only ones that fed the hungry animals, so it was their job to take care of them.
Without question, I know the cold animals appreciated the fresh bread.
I hope that I can film more events and locations in Evansville, as time allows. If you have any recommendations or things you would like to see, please let me...
