This month, we are featuring Harmony IN Horses, a non-profit organization that connects wild-born mustangs with foster youth. This group received its first grant from Boone REMC’s Operation Round Up. I hope you take the time to read about the fantastic work they are doing for children and animals. In 2025, we are making a… Continue reading.

I love pizza. My husband and my best friends also love pizza, and we proudly celebrate “Pizza Friday” almost every week. You could say we are passionate about our favorite food, and I’ve come to realize that our readers are, too. This month, we are showcasing reader-nominated pizza places across the state. Our readers shared… Continue reading.

It’s officially 2025, a new year full of new possibilities. Did you stay up until midnight to see the ball drop? My friends and I used to ring in the new year at fancy parties in downtown Indianapolis. Now, we celebrate in our sweatpants. (My favorite way to celebrate almost anything.) I suppose that’s what… Continue reading.

As I round out my first year as editor of Indiana Connection, I’m feeling pretty thankful. When you take a new job, there are a lot of adjustments, especially if you have been in your last position for over a decade. I have to admit that I don’t adapt quickly to change. However, the transition… Continue reading.

This month’s feature story on Bands of America made me feel nostalgic. Although I was never in marching band (I was a show choir kid, but that’s a story for another column), many of my high school friends were. Each summer, the friends who were not in band would make the drive to DePauw University… Continue reading.

October is National Cooperative Month. Indiana Connection is published by Indiana Electric Cooperatives, which is the service organization for our state’s member-owned electric co-ops. If you’re receiving this magazine, you are probably a co-op member. It’s easy to think of your co-op as just an electric company, but as I’ve learned over the last 10… Continue reading.

One of the things I like most about my job is getting the opportunity to meet new people. I have met some interesting people in my short time at Indiana Connection, and Elaine Smith, profiled in our September feature, is no exception. Elaine and her husband, Tom, came to our office so we could take… Continue reading.

I’m always delighted to get letters from our readers, both good and bad, because it’s exciting that someone has taken the time to read the magazine and give me their opinion about it. I recently received a letter that I thought deserved some special attention: As I read your May and June editorials about Mother’s… Continue reading.

For the past couple of months, we asked readers to submit their Fourth of July traditions and memories. Some of the submissions are featured on pages 26 and 27. Reading about other people’s celebrations and cherished memories with their families was fun. For my family, July 4th was always a day to get together and… Continue reading.

By Britt Davis Father’s Day is June 16. Last month, I talked about the wonderful women in my life. This month is for the papas. My dad, Kevin, is one of my loudest supporters. He encouraged any dream I had growing up, including when I went through a Sherlock Holmes phase and wanted to be… Continue reading.

Mother’s Day is May 12. This will be my second Mother’s Day as a mother myself. Those of you who have children know that it’s a wild ride. My daughter, Gwen, is 19 months old, and she teaches me something new every day. I have been fortunate to have many exceptional women in my life…. Continue reading.

Now that it’s April, it’s safe to say that spring is officially here. Many see spring as a time for renewal — and a good time to deep clean your house. As we move into a new season, it could be an opportunity to give back to others in your community. Thanksgiving and Christmas are… Continue reading.
