JOELLA’S HOT CHICKEN OPENS ON THE CARMELWESTFIELD BORDER Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photography Provided by Amy Payne and Joella’s Hot Chicken

Joella’s Hot Chicken, founded in 2015 in Louisville, Kentucky, just celebrated its fifth anniversary. Through the years, the company’s leaders have stayed true to the roots of the menu and have not made changes to their delicious chicken meals, sandwiches, dipping sauces, southern sides and drinks.

“We believe in good, quality home-style cooking, and everyone has responded to that,” says Katie Wollrich, chief marketing officer for Joella’s Hot Chicken.

The response has been so good, in fact, that Joella’s Hot Chicken has expanded to new cities each year with stores in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Florida and Georgia. This is their fourth consecutive year opening a store in the Hoosier state, and the company’s seventeenth location just opened on the Carmel-Westfield border. The 4,116-square-foot restaurant features both indoor and outdoor dining, with seating for up to 130 guests.

“That market is so excited about us coming here,” Wollrich says. “Every day on social media, people have been asking when Westfield was going to open.”

Other sides include Sweet Vinegar Slaw, Green Beans and Bacon, Red Skinned Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Collard Greens with Bacon, and a popular Kale Crunch Salad that comes with currants, toasted almonds, parmesan cheese and lemon zest vinaigrette dressing.

According to Wollrich, the name Joella represents the comfortable feeling that comes when sitting down to a family dinner at home and eating made-from-scratch, home-cooked meals filled with love.

Popular menu items include all-natural jumbo tenders flavored with six unique heat levels - Traditional Southern, Spiked Honey, Ella’s Fav, Tweener, Hot, and Firein Da-Hole (so hot you must sign a waiver - seriously).

The option to customize meals is what sets Joella’s Hot Chicken apart from many other restaurants.

“It’s nice to be able to have your go-to meal, but customize it to make it a little bit different depending on the mood you’re in that day,” says Wollrich, who compares the customizable menu to a barbecue experience and the way the flavor changes depending on what type is selected. “People

“Hot chicken isn’t just about the heat, it’s about the flavor,” Wollrich says. “Our six unique heat levels match user preferences without sacrificing flavor.”

“Miss Joella is the embodiment of the typical Southern woman who grew up eating her momma’s fried chicken every Sunday, and she likes to add a little spice to everything she does,” says Wollrich, who calls Miss Joella the “poster child for southern hospitality and doing the right thing.”

Part of that dedication to doing the right thing is giving back to community. Joella’s Hot Chicken participates in the Dine to Donate program and gives 10% of store proceeds to schools and other organizations on a designated day.

“Joella’s Hot Chicken is a brand that is devoted to passion, integrity, accountability, hospitality and generosity,” Wollrich says.

“We understand that in order to fulfill this mission, we must be good stewards of our communities. Partnering with schools is something that is very important to us, and we look forward to doing more of that with the community in the future.”

If a guest doesn’t care for heat, they can opt for the Southern style. Wollrich says some people get a little nervous about hot chicken, especially if they haven’t had it before. That’s precisely why the six heating options are helpful.

taste our chicken and crave it. It’s hard to go back to regular fried chicken once you’ve had all this flavor added to it.”

“If you don’t want heat, come in and get the best fried chicken you’ve ever had,” Wollrich says. “If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, I recommend Ella’s Fav. It’s the best place to start because you get sweet plus a little bit of that heat flavor that doesn’t linger too long.

People say they feel the heat but that it’s gone by the next bite.”

The menu also includes made-from-scratch, daily sides like the award-winning Mac & Cheese that includes four kinds of cheese, and is topped with herb parmesan.

“Whether you’re a kid or an adult, this side is a must-try,” says Wollrich, who also recommends the Parmesan Garlic Fries.

“They are thin, crispy and flavorful - my personal favorite.”

The company also loves on children by letting kids eat free after 4 p.m. every Tuesday with the purchase of any adult meal. In addition, menu items can be customized to accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies, including nut-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and vegan requests.

Fortunately, Joella’s Hot Chicken had a delivery system in place prior to the coronavirus pandemic, so the company has been able to utilize that service to safely deliver food directly to guests’ houses.

Joella’s offers online ordering and pickup, and during warmer months they have patio seating. All team members wear masks and gloves.

In addition, Joella’s is keeping the restaurant’s capacity limited in accordance with the state’s current regulations, and has created proper signage and markings on the floor so guests can comply with social distancing.

“We are keeping everything as safe as possible, not only for guests but also for our team members,” Wollrich says. “Sometimes comfort food is really what people need during these times. We’re happy we’ve been able to stay open and also open new stores.”

REGGIE’S MOTORWORKS 1362 S 10th Street Noblesville, IN 317-773-0074 ReggiesMotorworks.com

Writer / Seth Johnson Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Upon walking into Reggie’s Motorworks, customers will notice one thing in particular.

“The first comment out of new clients’ mouths is, ‘Wow, I can’t believe how clean this place is,’” says founder Reggie Stewart.

“The actual workspace is all bright white with bright gray epoxy floors that are kept immaculately clean. I’ve had people tell me that we are the cleanest shop in town.”

Located at 1362 S. 10th Street in Noblesville, Reggie’s Motorworks specializes in servicing European automobiles, including BMWs, MercedesBenz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche and more. In addition to upholding the highest standards in European auto repair and maintenance, Reggie’s Motorworks also prides itself in providing customers with a warm and welcoming environment, encouraging them to chat with the team like they would a friend.

Founded in 2006, Reggie’s Motorworks has a very humble beginning, explains Stewart.

“I started buying derelict BMWs and selling the parts on eBay,” he says. “I was in a frozen pole barn in Lawrence in February with no heating and no plumbing when I started.”

After moving the business to Westfield for a few years, Stewart eventually landed on his current location in Noblesville, where he now employs an expanded team of automotive technicians.

“It’s easy to find somebody who wants to work on cars — it’s hard to find somebody who has the experience and education to

work on cars,” Stewart says of his employee standards. “Right now, I hire people that have typically worked in a big dealership, and they’ve gotten really good training but the culture in which they have lived just maybe doesn’t fit their personality type. So I welcome them into a smaller, more familyoriented culture and pay them very well.”

In addition to top-notch technicians and a clean, laid-back environment, Reggie’s Motorworks also ensures an innovative customer experience.

“We were fairly early adopters in the concept of what’s termed as digital vehicle inspections,” Stewart says. “When you take your car anywhere and you get the little green/yellow/red piece of paper that tells you what’s good and what’s bad, we do that electronically and take pictures to educate you.”

This digital setup allows Reggie’s Motorworks to make completely contact-free repairs in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“From drop-off to pick-up, we do a lot of things where we never see the client at this point,” Stewart says. “We still value the personal relationship, but we meet the client where they’re comfortable.”

Reggie’s Motorworks is located at 1362 S 10th Street in Noblesville. To learn more about Reggie’s Motorworks and its services, be sure to visit ReggiesMotorworks.com or call them at 317-773-0074.

PREVAIL, INC. ENCOURAGES THE COMMUNITY TO “GO PURPLE” DURING OCTOBER FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION MONTH Prevail, Inc., a Hamilton County-based non-profit organization advocating for victims of crime and abuse is asking for community partners to join them as they “Go Purple” during National Domestic Violence Prevention Month in October.

During this 2020 “Go Purple” Campaign, Prevail is offering to local businesses and community members a simple way to stand with each other and work to end acts of violence together.

“Domestic violence often happens behind closed doors and it is not seen as something that makes good conversation.” said Susan Ferguson. “From our perspective, the more we talk about

it, the safer it is for survivors to come forward and ask for help; while creating a community that makes perpetration unacceptable. If you talk about domestic violence openly with your friends and family, you will hear from the people in your circle who have experienced it and you will be in a position to refer them to the help they need. Going Purple is one way to start the conversation.”

Prevail is asking the community to be creative, pick a day and wear purple. Share your group’s pictures with Prevail and use the hashtag #GoPurplePrevail. To sign up, simply visit Prevail’s website at www. prevailinc.org.

Over the past 34 years Prevail has served nearly 50,000 victims of crime and abuse in our community. Last year, out of the almost 4,000 clients served at Prevail, 52% of clients served were adults, teens, and children who were victims of family violence. Domestic violence is complex.

While crisis intervention is an important immediate response to domestic violence, there is a great need to raise awareness and develop effective prevention strategies.

For more information about Prevail’s “Go Purple” Campaign or to sign up, contact Natasha Robinson at 317-773-6942 or Natasha@prevailinc.org

WOMEN OF WESTFIELD SEEKS TO CONNECT AND INSPIRE LOCALLY WOW council, which consists of Carey Tolan as the group’s president as well as Crum, Cayla Bittles, Janelle Campbell, Westfield women seem to have the WOW Karen Keinsley, Jill Doyle and Gina Terril. factor. WOW is the acronym for Women These ladies are responsible for organizing of Westfield, a group of women that meets and planning events, programming and monthly to connect, serve and give back locally. promoting the group.

Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies Photography Provided

The concept for the group started with Danielle Carey Tolan and a group of women from the Chamber of Commerce. Carey Tolan had been contemplating what to do with notebooks full of ideas about how to connect women in Westfield.

“We need something for women to get together because we don’t come together enough, support each other and pick each other up,” she says.

A simple decision to share her vision with friend and colleague Laura Crum became an important next step.

Shortly after hearing about Carey Tolan’s ideas, Crum attended a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce with a group of women as they discussed creating a women’s group. Crum immediately contacted Carey Tolan and connected her with the women from the Chamber, which resulted in the formation of WOW, and the organization was launched in April of 2019.

The founding members then formed the

Early on, Carey Tolan recognized the need to offer a variety of opportunities for local women.

“Every woman needs something different whether it is socialization, whether it is wanting to give a little bit more, whether they want to positively impact the community, or whether they want to positively impact themselves,” she says. “The focus is to fill the needs of women in the community with fun, exciting and fulfilling activities. The group hosts opportunities for women to connect outside of their work and family life each month, whether it is a morning gathering at a coffee or doughnut shop, whether it is a happy hour, or members want to jump in and help support a nonprofit.”

Michelle Merritt, a new resident of Westfield and WOW member, says she appreciates the group.

“WOW emulates the best of Westfield,” she says. “When we moved to Westfield in 2019, I experienced the genuine ‘Westfield Welcome’ in the ladies of WOW. Everyone

has been so kind and there are so many opportunities to get involved. From the WOW Book Club to meet-ups and volunteer activities, WOW has helped me connect with my community and meet outstanding women.”

WOW’s annual event will return on November 17 as a virtual event. The keynote speaker will be Kristen Boice, a therapist from Noblesville who will discuss finding peace in our everyday lives, complementing the “Be Zen” theme of the event.

Information on ticket sales will be posted on the WOW Facebook page. An early-bird ticket price of $25 before November 1 is being offered, and after that date the price will be $35.

During the group’s launch month it had 81 members, and in its second month that number grew to 342. The group held its first annual event in November of 2019 with 215 women in attendance, just seven months after its launch, and membership had grown to 950 members. Since that time, membership has grown to more than 1,500 and is still picking up momentum.

WOW is impacting Westfield positively and there are only two membership rules - members must live or work in Westfield, and must be kind and respectful, and engage positively with the group. Visit Women of Westfield on Facebook for more information.

I was ready to leave behind the corporate world and start doing what I do for myself. I wanted to be my own boss, make my own hours and choose who I support.

Best decision I ever made was working for myself.

I am an RN and I want to educate and empower people to better their health with hemp derived cannabis. I opened a shop that is boutique style and not like a vape shop.

I want to help people discover their true self through the Enneagram Typology. Helping people see how they are wired and coaching them to be their best so that they can gift the world with their presence is my great pleasure.

Cheryl Wade, an independent insurance agent and benefits consultant since 2008, believes everyone should be informed on Medicare options when planning for the future.

“Medicare always has a huge annual enrollment period between October 15 and December 7,” Wade says. “It’s a good time to make changes to your Medicare plan, or learn more about what might work best for you.”

Wade says individuals have enrollment options when it comes to making Medicare plans.

“With COVID-19, seniors certainly have to be more careful, which is why I offer online

Wade has clients in Westfield, Kokomo, Greenfield and Indianapolis, as well as other areas of Indiana.

“Seniors have told me they really like personal contact when I talk to them about their Medicare enrollment plans,” Wade says. “They need help, and that’s fine. I also teach classes about Medicare at the Westfield Parks and Recreation building.

It’s a one-hour, educational, free class for people to learn which Medicare enrollment plan works best for them.”

Wade is an independent agent for UnitedHealthcare. She also represents other carriers for Medicare Supplements, Prescription Drug plans and Senior Dental.

“I can help you find the best plan to fit your individual health care needs,” Wade says.

“One size does not fit all when it comes to picking out a Medicare plan. It doesn’t cost any money to have an agent assist you.”

Wade also meets with people when they are entering retirement years.

“As a local agent, I bring value to my members. I help my members year after year to keep them informed of changes in their plans. Each year I ask my members, ‘Does your plan still meet your needs?’ If not, let’s talk.”

To stay active and motivated, the group signs up for various races. To train for those races, the team uses a smartphone application called Strava, which is like a social media platform for endurance athletes. The mobile fitness tracking application, which has 60 million users globally, enables users to upload and analyze their workouts.

“Think Facebook but with an endurance support focus,” says Dailey of the application, explaining that athletes can track runs on their watch or other device, and the information is imported into the

application. Team members can see each other’s accomplishments, and can like or comment on performances.

Club members participate in races throughout the year including 5K runs and full marathons. Members mostly do road races and relays. In 2015 Dailey ran a sixday, 314-mile race, for which he ran across the state of Tennessee. According to Dailey, the team members mostly participate in middle and long distances.

When Dailey turned 40 he pledged to run a coast-to-coast race, and this year the club decided to participate in the Great American 5000 race, an annual 3,107-mile run from San Francisco to New York. When Dailey learned that the race was going to be virtual this year due to the pandemic, he assembled a team of 24 members, most of whom are in their early to mid 40s and are spread across seven states.

Every day each team member had to run one hour per day, and could run anywhere they wanted in that hour. Once they uploaded their mileage to the site, that progress was aggregated and the team’s pin moved across the country as miles were completed.

Though each team member ran as fast and as far as they could during their 60 minutes each day, the number of miles logged usually varied. For instance, the team’s top runner

was logging between nine and 11 miles in an hour, and the team also had a relatively new runner whose mile times clocked between nine and 10 minutes.

To help prevent injuries, Dailey and his local teammates went to the Recovery Room in Carmel when they were sore.

They used NormaTec arm, leg and hip sleeves to push excess fluid out of tight muscles, and cryotherapy to reduce inflammation and increase circulation.

The runners were diligent about stretching before and after workouts.

“You’ve got to roll, ice and get your sleep,” Dailey says.

All the hard work paid off, as Dailey’s team won the Great American 5000 by 550 miles. It was an impressive feat considering that more than 250 teams consisting of 4,500 runners from across the country participated. Though Dailey’s team didn’t consist of Olympic athletes, they ran against running legends like Ben True and Michael Wardian, who set a world record for fastest marathon while pushing a stroller.

“Wardian is also the only person ever to run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, and sub-three all seven of them,” Dailey says. “I think the professional aspect

of it validated it for us, and then performing way over and above our expectations made the win even sweeter.”

Every day Dailey’s team was turning in running times that surprised even themselves.

“It’s funny because you wake up in the morning and you run a race at a particular pace,” Dailey says. “The next week you’re out running 500 yards at that same pace and you’re thinking, ‘How did I run a sevenminute-pace marathon and now seven minutes feels like a five-minute mile?’”

On day 11 of the Great American 5000, two team members named Phil and Will, who are in the personal aviation industry, were in Colorado. Phil posted a picture to the group’s online thread titled, “Will & Phil & Lance the Champ.”

As it turns out, they were in Aspen helping Lance Armstrong interview pilots for his personal plane, and they invited him to go running with them.

“That was really cool,” Dailey says. “That’s like playing golf with Tiger Woods.”

OCTOBER 2020

Originally born in Pittsburgh, DeVinney and her family moved to small-town Indiana when she was in middle school, and she went on to become a three-sport athlete at Boone Grove High School.

“I went to a small school, and it just gave me a lot of opportunities that I may or may not have had in other places,” says DeVinney of her time at Boone Grove. “I really just enjoyed my time at Boone Grove, and it obviously has a special place in my heart.”

DeVinney attended Purdue University to pursue a degree in education. While at Purdue she participated in intramural sports, but she needed something more to scratch her itch for competition, which led her to coaching.

“I went to a small school, and we never advanced in the sectional,” DeVinney says.

“We never got to cut a net down. That just stuck with me.”

DeVinney got her coaching start under Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Jan Conner at Benton Central High School, before landing her first head coaching role at Pike High School in 1997 where she was also a teacher. Following her time at Pike, DeVinney worked as a teacher and girls basketball coach at Seymour High School (2001-2012) and Lebanon High School (2012-2018).

After devoting her life to coaching for more than two decades, DeVinney decided it was time for something new, and accepted the

athletic director role with Sheridan High School in 2018.

“When you’re a coach I don’t think people realize the hours, time, and the fact that your whole life is coaching,” DeVinney says.

“I decided it was just time to try something different. That’s not to say I can never go back to coaching.”

With roots in small-town Indiana, DeVinney says the tight-knit community surrounding Sheridan High School has been the perfect fit for her.

“Everybody here is just really great,” DeVinney says. “Our principal is amazing.

He’s such a great leader. He’s kind and thoughtful. It’s just really nice to work in that atmosphere, where people have our back and are just kind. I really feel like our whole entire building is the same way.”

rand Champion Janel Keesling knows what it’s like to walk into a car dealership as a woman and feel pressured and overwhelmed.

“We’d like to think the world treats women equally, but there are presumed biases,” says Keesling, who, along with her husband Cole, owns CarSnoop, an innovative way to buy, lease or trade-in a vehicle from your phone, or computer. The beauty of CarSnoop is that dealerships don’t have any idea of the customer’s gender or race—only the city in which they reside. Hence, the buying experience is simplified.

“In light of the pandemic, we’ve all changed the way we buy everything,” says Keesling, noting that consumers would rather browse for cars while relaxing on their back porch than wander countless dealerships.

“We do all the legwork and even have a full concierge service to find the car you desire,” says Keesling.

“Want a blue 2020 Honda Accord with XYZ features? We’ll find the best offers from dealerships.”

CarSnoop enables the buyer to do all the paperwork from home and then they deliver the car directly to your home.

“You literally don’t have to go anywhere,” says Keesling. “It’s a stress-free experience all the way around.”

THAT’S THE SPIRIT WEST FORK WHISKEY CO. TO LAUNCH WESTFIELD FACILITY IN 2021 Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Amy Payne

whiskey made with ingredients grown right here in the Hoosier state.

A new facility planned for West Fork Whiskey Co. in Westfield represents the company’s ongoing mission to continue growing its brand across Central Indiana and beyond, according to co-owner Blake Jones.

“My childhood best friend and my brother set out to make great whiskey, and the reason is because we love the state of Indiana and we grow great corn here,” Jones says. “We thought it was a big shame, with the state’s agricultural background, that there wasn’t a well-known whiskey distillery here. We were getting frustrated with some of the whiskey available at the time that sold for $50 to $70 retail and was worth about $30.”

Back in 2014, Jones, along with his brother and head distiller Julian and childhood friend David McIntyre, founded West Fork to meet what they saw as a need for quality

The founders cashed out their 401(k) accounts, secured a loan, and by the end of 2015 they began producing what they call uniquely Indiana whiskey out of an Indianapolis facility.

“Since then, we started raising a little money and have been able to scale the company up,” Jones says. “We opened our cocktail bar and have been able to enter new states and launch new products. We’ve been producing whiskey for about four years now.”

WestfieldMag.com / OCTOBER 2020 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / 27

The company’s products include Old Hamer straight bourbon and rye whiskeys, as well as Mint Condition, a light whiskey cocktail with natural mint and lemon that comes canned.

The trio then began searching in the donut counties surrounding Indy, specifically seeking out a spot close to a highway that would be big enough to house not only a production facility, but also a restaurant and and Horton Road, is slated for opening Jones says the decision to expand into even a space for tastings and educational some time in 2021, and at approximately Westfield was based on multiple factors, not events for the public.

The owners are planning for a 4,000-square-foot restaurant at the new location that will feature menu items well known in the state of Indiana such as tenderloins and corn.

A 5,000-square-foot event space will feature a glass wall allowing visitors to view the production facility and learn from the staff members about how whiskey is made.

“Most of the building will be whiskey production space - aging, processing and distilling,” Jones says. “We’ll give really good hands-on tours in that space. Also, using all Indiana ingredients as a whiskey company, we thought it would be great to have a restaurant that also highlights Indiana agriculture, whether it’s great pork products, awesome steaks from local farmers or corn when it’s in season.”

The West Fork owners are also planning a cocktail bar, as well as outdoor amenities at the Westfield location.

“It’s going to be a very cool, unique environment,” Jone says. “There’s nothing like it in Central Indiana.

We love the state and the agricultural background here, and we’re passionate about whiskey. We’re very excited about expanding and being able to grow, and offer more products and a unique place for people to come and learn about us and about Indiana agriculture.”

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY RESTORE IS LEAVING A LASTING IMPACT IN HAMILTON COUNTY Writer / Julie Yates Photography Provided

The Habitat for Humanity Restore, located at 7998 Centerpoint Drive, is a win-win situation for Hamilton County residents.

Not only does the home improvement thrift store sell donated and gently used merchandise at a significant discount to the general public, it benefits Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity. Funds raised make it possible for families in need to own an affordable home.

“The benefits of this model abound: through donated product, the ReStore reduces waste and helps tons of material avoid the landfill each year. The quality home goods are typically 50-75% below retail, making home improvement possible for many who could not otherwise afford it,”

says Abri Hochstetler, Associate Director of Communications and Annual Giving. “The stores provide local jobs, and the ReStore can pick up your large or bulk donations from your home or business, making donating a breeze.”

to their home. This could be as big as a set of cabinets or as small as a set of screws.

Contractors and landlords visit looking for tools and building materials. Because the ReStore is filled with new and used donated products, every visit is a new adventure.

Donations to the store are tax-deductible and make up the store’s inventory. Items for sale range in variety from outdoor garden tools to chandeliers. It’s a place where both practical and off-beat objects become gems for people who enjoy repurposing materials or do it yourself projects. There is no doubt that customers can find some unusual items.

“Donated product comes from all types of places. If you’re completing a kitchen remodel or replacing your washer and dryer, the ReStore can come to your home to pick up the usable items: cabinets, stove, refrigerator, washer, dryer, etc. Or, if you’re cleaning out your garage or home and discover items that have more life, you can donate those home goods as well.”

“We often get unique art such as paintings or posters,” Hochstetler says. “The most interesting thing I’ve seen was a red, heartshaped hot tub. Many times, customers are looking for an affordable fix or improvement

Both full and part-time employees work at the store as drivers, cashiers and donation processors. Regular volunteers are gladly accepted. Additionally, commercial

partnerships are welcome and regular pickups can be set-up at businesses, churches, company warehouses or other places of work.

The merchandise sold at the restore enables Habitat for Humanity to provide lowincome, first-time homebuyers with the lifechanging opportunity of homeownership.

Neighborhoods and the communities benefit as well by providing places to live that are well built.

“In a time when home has taken on even more meaning and importance, we are grateful that the ReStore provides a connection between usable home goods and those who need them, all while helping Habitat build safe, stable, and affordable homes for our neighbors who need them,” Hochstetler says.

Habitat for Humanity Restore is located at 7998 Centerpoint Drive in Fishers.

THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN RIDES AGAIN AT CONNER PRAIRIE FALL FESTIVAL It takes a lot more than a pandemic to keep the Headless Horseman down.

He rides again this year at Conner Prairie in Fishers, just in time to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving.

This Halloween season, however, the Headless Horseman will have to follow the social distancing guidelines in place at Conner Prairie’s annual fall festival.

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Conner Prairie has made several changes to Headless Horseman operations in order to ensure public safety while still delivering a fun family event,” says Christine DeJoy, director of public affairs at Conner Prairie. “These changes have been made in accordance with CDC guidelines, and have been approved by the Fishers Department of Health.”

The Conner Prairie staff has multiple activities planned.

“Guests will receive a complimentary bag of a ball and a ring necessary to play games,” DeJoy says. “Bounce houses, the corn sandbox, karaoke, and other games and activities not conducive to social distancing have been replaced with more suitable activities.”

The Apple Store at Conner Prairie is currently closed, but apple cider slushies will be available in select food tents.

“Guests do not have to submit to a temperature check, but are asked to stay home if they are sick or part of a vulnerable population,” DeJoy says. “Staff, volunteers and vendors are required to pass a daily temperature check and health questionnaire.”

Guests are required to purchase tickets for specific event dates. Tickets are only available online in advance of desired event dates.

“There’s always a lot of excitement for our Headless Horseman festival,” DeJoy says.

“This year we had to make revisions to festival staples, but we think the outcome will leave our guests happily satisfied with some of our changes.”

DeJoy says this year marks the 37th Headless Horseman fall festival.

Festival activities will run throughout the month of October. Many families enjoy the haunted hayride, during which they are chased down by the Headless Horseman.

Attendees can also check out a Legend of Sleepy Hollow theatrical show, a monster museum and much more. The midway will feature games including Ghost Pitch, Cauldron Toss, Pirate Ring Toss, Plinko, Monster Long Jump and Soccer Putt-Putt.

Conner Prairie is located at 13400 Allisonville Road in Fishers. Fore more info, call 317-776-6000. For festival event dates, ticket info, an activities list and more, visit connerprairie.org.

“Access to the corn maze and haunted corn maze will be limited to groups of 10 every three minutes, to ensure adequate spacing,” DeJoy says. “The crowds will only be a maximum of 2,000 people per night.”

Guests, staff members, volunteers and vendors are required to wear masks except when consuming food or drinks. All shows at the festival will be performed on open-air stages or in open-sided pavilions.

“Mrs. McKinney has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life,” she adds. “To this day, I try and see her at least once a week just to say hello or have a conversation. It is not only Mrs. McKinney at Westfield, but there are so many teachers like her. I know so many students that have a relationship similar to mine with a teacher and those relationships will stick with the students for the rest of their lives.”

Eggleston says Student Impact of Westfield has also helped her tremendously.

“I attend Student Impact every Monday and Friday and volunteer as an intern/ student leader every Tuesday and Thursday,” Eggleston says. “I love everything about this organization.

WESTFIELD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 116 E Main Street Westfield, IN 46074 (317) 804-3030 westfield-chamber.org

Writer / Matt Keating Photography Provided

Steve Latour, the new executive director of the Westfield Chamber of Commerce, feels the experience gained from his various professional positions has helped to prepare him for his new role.

“I have my position as the chief housing officer of the CLVEN National House Corporation,” Latour says. “I was responsible for over 40 properties, over 800 residents, and more than $20 million in owned and managed assets. We provide student housing for members of Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity, a collegiate men’s membership organization that is the nation’s tenth oldest collegiate fraternity.”

Some of Latour’s notable accomplishments at CLVEN include leading the property acquisition process, adding 24 owned, managed and affiliated properties, and increasing annual revenue from $2 million to more than $10 million. Latour also developed and implemented the first-ever, organization-wide strategic plan with the board of directors, professionalized all day-to-day operations, and implemented online leasing, rent collection, work orders and accounting.

Latour also served as the CEO for the Sigma Tau Gamma Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and as the startup CEO of the WPN National Housing Company, which provides housing for Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity chapters across the country.

Latour has big plans for the Westfield Chamber of Commerce.

“At our core, I believe the Westfield Chamber of Commerce exists to promote all that is good about Westfield by fostering a prosperous business environment that drives commerce, promotes our community, and seeks to empower our members,” Latour says. “It is no secret that successful and thriving businesses rely on healthy neighborhoods, top-notch schools,

and residents who are so in love with the community and all that we have to offer - the kind of residents that cannot wait to bring others to town to share why Westfield is so special.”

Latour believes the Chamber’s role as an ambassador for the City of Westfield is fundamental to the success of the area.

“Perhaps our most important responsibility is to give our members every advantage to be successful in reaching and exceeding their goals,” he says. “We can accomplish our reason for being by serving, protecting and promoting our members through advocacy, education, information, marketing, networking programs and

activities. We have a responsibility to make sure our members find value in their membership that it is worthy of their investment of time, talent and treasure.

Many of our members are now faced with great adversity and will have many more challenges to come.”

Latour stresses the importance of supporting Chamber members during the challenges many businesses face due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“How we support [members] through today’s unexpected and changing business environment will define our success as a Chamber of Commerce for the next decade,” Latour says.

“AT OUR CORE, I BELIEVE THE WESTFIELD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EXISTS TO PROMOTE ALL THAT IS GOOD ABOUT WESTFIELD BY FOSTERING A PROSPEROUS BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT THAT DRIVES COMMERCE, PROMOTES OUR COMMUNITY, AND SEEKS TO EMPOWER OUR MEMBERS.”

In college, Latour says he had the opportunity to see Maya Angelou speak on his campus. What she said has continued to inspire him.

In recognition of the Black Lives Matter movement, I also want to listen to ideas on how the Chamber can work with the “She said, ‘If you do not know where you have community to address and support social come from, you do not know where you are and racial injustice. I am a researcher at going,’” Latour says. “As executive director, I heart, so spending this time to meet with will have the enormous task of keeping the our members, volunteers and staff will help car driving down the road at 70 miles per educate me on our path forward.” hour while trying to change the tire.”

Latour also wants to strengthen local relationships.

Latour has already identified some key areas where he plans to focus his attention.

“I want to work to ensure that our “I want to engage stakeholders,” he says. relationships with city, county and state “Within 90 days, I want to meet one-on-one officials, as well as key stakeholders with each board member, staff member and and donors, are on a solid foundation,” member of the Chamber. I want to learn Latour says. “I also want to review our 22592 EMBGMC_Zionsville.ai

communications plan, engagement statistics, style guide and brand standards to ensure that we are reaching our members with the information they need and expect from the Chamber.”

Latour is also focusing on what he calls a high-velocity culture change.

“We find ourselves with the opportunity and moment to implement the kind of change that is going to give the Chamber a competitive edge in today’s rapidly changing marketplace,” he says. “Together we can ensure that the Chamber emerges in the next few years as one of the reasons our businesses, and their leaders and staffs, are so successful.

If we can share in their success, then the opportunities ahead of us are limitless.”
