See It For Yourself…Inside The New Firehouse BBQ & Blues, Depot District

January 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Mural behind the stage of the Firehouse BBQ & Blues, Depot District

If you haven’t been inside the Firehouse BBQ & Blues yet, but you’ve heard about “the” mural…here is a sneak preview.  The mural was painted by the well known artist, Pamela Bliss, who has been director of the Murals Project in Wayne County.  She also painted the Single G mural in Cambridge City as well as many others in Wayne County.  This mural is located behind the stage where live music is played every weekend, and depicts the old fire wagon and horses racing to put out a fire.  The Firehouse BBQ & Blues is actually housed in what was the first firehouse in the area and has been remodeled with much of its historic value preserved, by two firefighters who took on this project over two years ago.  It is a must -see destination!

Happy New Year!

At the start of a new year on the first day of 2012 we want to wish you a happy and prosperous New Year full of happy moments and good challenges.

We will be posting some glimpses of the past year and celebrate the many wonderful things that we enjoyed through the last 365 days, as we head into a year of new possibilities.

If you have memories from Wayne County to share- please send them to us–pictures or stories are all welcome.  We will post them for you and add a picture if you don’t have one to go with your story.   To contact us you can write to karole@gowaynecounty.com or constance@gowaynecounty.com.  For the next few days we will post our own stories and pictures and hopefully yours as well.

Below are some pictures of moving moments in Wayne County in 2011.

9/11 Escort In Richmond IN, 2011

As hundreds looked on in the rain, a piece of a beam from the Twin Towers was escorted by thousands of bikers traveling as far as New York City and coming from all points around Indiana.  Some bikers came from as far as Florida to participate in the escort.  Local organizers were instrumental in bringing the beam through the town.  Mayor Sally Hutton, a friend to veterans and bikers, oversaw the emotional tribute as military members and first responders stood in attendance and were honored.

First responders came from all over Indiana as well as Ohio to pay tribute to the fallen and those who sacrificed their lives on 9/11. These responders came from Tipp City Ohio.

We will continue to post stories and pictures of 2011 for the next few days.  Thank you to all who follow GoWayneCounty.com, we appreciate your support, suggestions and participation.  Happy New Year!
