Officials scramble to move festival

       Due to an unforeseen building project taking place at the Pleasant Grove Elementary School, officials at the White River Township Fire Department are scrambling to relocate this year's Strawberry Festival.  Fortunately, the school system granted permission to use the Center Grove Middle School North grounds which are immediately to the south of the previous location.  "We're hoping a last minute media blitz and a good sight-line from the old site to the new site will be enough to direct patrons to the correct location", said Craig Zollars, Public Information Officer for the fire department.  "There will also be additional signage at the old location during the two-day event", he added.  The Center Grove Trails "Blaze the Trail" 5K Run/Walk will not be affected, however participants will need to park at the Middle School site.  For those planning to attend this year's festival, please enter the south entrance off of Morgantown Road at the top of the hill.  Signs will direct patrons to parking.  For a full listing of events, please click HERE for an event flyer.
