Days that would be fun with the community and raise awareness for Fellowship Missions. They saw other places do something similar and they thought "we have a beautiful canal, a great envi ronment to hold it in and so we started it five years ago. We said we might as well try." Lane said the event has grown in size each year, with the first year having four boats and 11 boats last year. The idea behind the race is fun, teamwork, "it brings them together, people know they're doing it for a good cause and they do it togeth er," Lane said. For the boats, only card board, paint and duct tape can be used. For awards, Lane said people are able to put tickets in a bucket for the best of show and the rest of the cate gory winners are timed. There is also the Titanic award for the best boat that sinks. Every year, Lane said they have at least one boat that sinks. During the race Saturday, the adult award category winner and best time winner was MudLOVE Way, raced by Luke Wright and Silas Hill. The youth category win ner was Flash, raced by Kyle Williams. The kids category winner and best in show was Hope Prints, raced by Zach and Maelle Hauck. The corporate category winner was Winona Lake Restoration for the boat Bobcat, driven by Noah Dickerson and Titus Ewery. The Titanic award went to Flushed, raced by Adam and Marcus Jackson.

available, to make grants available, to give us some encouragement along the way to help link us to some people who could help us get a lot of this work done." Warsaw Community Development Corporation provided a $5,000 facade grant to HopLore this year and one in 2020. Keith said with everything happening with the city of Warsaw right now, specifical ly what potentially may occur with the old Owen's property across the street from HopLore and the "way the downtown is expanding, everything, it's great to be a part of this and we can't thank you enough." Owen's is going to be transformed into a mixed use building with a commer cial component to it and upwards of 150 apartment units, according to Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer. A park ing garage is still under con sideration, and "we're trying to involve a smaller grocery store in there. We've got a big wish list. We're really trying to make it a transformational project for the west side." He said there really is a need for a grocery store on the west side, and parking continues to be an issue downtown. "The most important thing to it right now is the workforce housing component to it." King said he was just excited to make more beer. Thallemer said when Keith, King, Warsaw Community Economic Development Director Jeremy Skinner and he sat down, there were some ques tions, including where HopLore was going to go as there was property on Argonne Road being consid ered. "They committed right from the beginning to get this done. We knew this was going to happen, and we worked hard - we all worked hard - to find the right spot. Thankfully, this came up and it was very fortuitous because I think this is going to be one of the initial proj ects and a pretty significant transformation on this side of town," Thallemer said. He said County Commissioner and WCDC Board member Cary Groninger started his Gateway subdivision project of over 60 homes on North Union Street a little before. "Obviously, we've got the bike trail coming through here and we're looking at a significant transformational project right out these win dows here across the street," Thallemer said. "I couldn't be happier to be here today and seeing what's going on here." With HopLore's beer gar den on the east side of the building, with a view of the county courthouse, "It's a great addition. A new trans formation on the city's near west side," Thallemer said, thanking HopLore's owners for their investment, hard work and willingness to come to the city. Skinner said, "I think this is kind of a stepping stone to future projects downtown. We're excited to have you here. All the hard work you put into this is much appreci ated, and, hopefully, contin ued success of this area and your business." Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Rob Parker thanked HopLore's owners for their investment. "This is going to be huge for this side of town and it's going to be a corner stone. Congratulations," he said. After the ribbon cutting ceremony, King explained the Warsaw location will be a lit tle different concept than HopLore's Leesburg location. "The Leesburg location is still going to remain as our primary restaurant. It has more taps, has more guest beer. It's more of a craft beer bar all around. This is going to be more of a tasting room, so production is happening here. And then our tasting room is going to serve small plates and shareables," King said. "It's going to be more of an atmosphere that's geared more toward the beer as opposed to a restaurant." He said a reason they went with the Market Street location rather than Argonne Road was because they liked the idea of being closer to downtown. "We also were looking for something that had dedicat ed production space, and this fit the bill for that as well," King said. "It's not an either or, it's more like what fits us the best." On occasion, he said they'll have two to three piece bands. The majority of HopLore's big events like All Stouts Day and their Christmas party - because of space - will continue to occur at the Leesburg location. King said they'll have beers specifically for the Warsaw location. One already made and ready to go is called Dumpster Fire. "It's a celebration of when it's time to move on, and it brings a little heat. So it's got a little burn to it. It's a grapefruit, habanera, West Coast IPA," King said. Initially, hours will be just weekday evenings, so Monday through Friday, 3 to 9 p.m., he said. It is all ages. The Warsaw location pro vides HopLore with a beer production floor. King said, "We'll be able to triple our capacity being here." In explaining how he and Steve got involved with HopLore, Keith said Steve bought a bed and breakfast in Culver. He's been doing that for the last four to five years. While Steve has been up here in northern Indiana, Keith said Steve likes to check out breweries and he came upon HopLore in Leesburg. Steve met King, they got to know each other and Steve learned King was interested in getting some investors. Steve, with his background in industrial and graphic design, was interest ed in helping. King thought Steve's background would be a big help and he King said he could really use some help with operations, too. Steve called Keith - about a year or two before Keith retired from Intel - and asked Keith if he wanted to be partners with him in HopLore. Keith agreed. "So, I'm the managing partner, so I'm sort of doing the CFO duties and the num bers guy," Keith said. "... So we each kind of have our roles, right. And Stefan is the head brewer and really under stands how the restaurant side runs." Keith said it's been fun and they have a great group of employees, with more needed to be hired. "It's been a lot of fun. I've been at it now with Stefan for about 2 1/2 years, since we've been investing. And we found this building about a year ago. We had been trying to find other locations, but it just didn't work out, and so we kind of lost a year on the expansion plan. So, we bought this building so we could control our own des tiny on it, and went about the process of rehabbing the building," he said. Keith said a lot of the work he and Steve did with Stefan, with the rest of the work to the building done by local contractors. He said a "signif icant" amount of money was put into the Warsaw location and that money "stayed in the county," which they felt was important. "Just all about doing what we can to keep the growth in this area," he said. "It's sort of the nice ideal location, too. You've got what may tran spire across the street. You've got a nice location here. The post office people have just been wonderful."

Crash Sends Etna Green Woman To Local Hospital
PERU, Ind. (AP) - A stat ue of a top Indiana suffragist has been erected outside the library where she trained and organized other activists for women's right to vote. The bronze likeness of Marie Stuart Edwards was unveiled Thursday at the Peru Public Library, where Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Edwards' two grandsons spoke about her dedication to the cause. The statue depicts a young Edwards standing by her bicycle and wearing a wide brimmed hat, gazing into the distance with a look of deter mination, the Kokomo Tribune reported. Crouch said women like Edwards made it possible for her to become the state's sec ond in command. "We here in this crowd are able to participate in the democratic process, all of us, because of Marie Stewart Edwards," she said. "We have her, and all that she did and all that she stood for, to thank for our ability to stand here as equals." In February 1920, Edwards helped found the nationwide League of Women Voters. Within a year, around 2 million women had joined the nonpartisan organization that pushed to educate women about their new rights as voters. Congress passed the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote in August 1920. Work on the $105,000 statue and pocket park sur rounding it began after Rediscover Downtown Peru was awarded a $35,000 grant last year to help pay for the project.
