Christmas Parade In Richmond IN
December 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Below you can watch part of the Christmas Parade in Richmond, which took place this past Friday night. People lined the streets, in very cold temperatures, and though the quality of the video isn’t great, you can hear the excitement of the children as they watch the floats and mascots go by. It was worth freezing to see. And later we went to the Coop to purchase yummy snacks and hair ribbons- it was a fun night! For more pictures and video of the holiday season you can visit our Facebook site (GoWayneCounty) or our youtube site- also under GoWayneCounty. (see video below)

When Animals Show Humans How To Act
March 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I’ve never subscribed to the idea that we’re here to “dominate” nature and wildlife for our pleasure or survival. That attitude, toward the world that sustains us, leads to us missing lessons that those “lesser animals” have to teach.
Compare the videos below to what you see us doing to each other around the world on nightly news. Then, tell me who acts like the lesser species.
Let’s all be nice out there!

From Brian Grimes via Facebook: “The first clip on this trailer is a group kids from Test Middle School here in Richmond with their amazing teacher Kevin Van Note. It is shot here in Richmond. These kids are so talented. (okay the whole thing is Van Note’s kids, and it is amazing. Watch it all the way to the end, amazing.)”

More info:
“In April 2010, The JTMS African Drum Ensemble was part of a concert featuring three different performing groups. These are three of their songs. While a 15-minute clip time may seem long, once you see their talent, you’ll know it’s worth it. They will be featured in an upcoming documentary film entitled ‘Ensemble’.” -Jay Barbre, Vimeo

I’m sure the data from this project will prove very useful…lol

Reindeer help GAP with sales.
The reindeer, which are equipped with GPS, compete in various “contests” including tests for who moves the furthest, fastest, slowest or closest to the North Pole on a particular day. Each one is connected to a different deal. Emma, for instance, will get you 40% off your whole purchase. Chloe will get you all accessories in store for $5 each. (The video above shows the owner of the pasture is fairly perplexed about the whole thing.)
