Awesome Indiana!

Awesome Indiana!

Created by the Cook Group of Bloomington, Awesome Indiana! is a roster of people, places, incidents and inventions that celebrate the Hoosier Bicentennial. In a calendar format, Awesome Indiana! details 200 years of lawmakers; war heroes; classic country-western, rock and Broadway songs; Oscar-winning movies; Emmy-winning TV shows and pumpkins so large they are as big as small cars. Hoosiers have long been on the cutting edge of history. Abolitionists often sacrificed their own freedom, even their lives, so that slaves could breathe the fresh air of freedom under that big blue Indiana sky. Television was invented here. Popcorn and fried chicken moguls were born here. So, too, writers, statesmen, inventors and academics. From the novel Ben Hur to Porgy and Bess, from TVâ€™s Glee and Scream Queen to the big screen terror of the movie Panâ€™s Labyrinth and the romantic spell of songs like Begin the Beguine, Hoosiers have entertained and inspired people for two centuries and counting. Proceeds from the sale of Awesome Indiana! will benefit the historic and renovated Tivoli Theater in the quaint town of Spencer.
