Join us at the Elkhart Environmental Center on Saturday, March 9th for our Wood Duck House Workshop! Attendees will learn about the life history of this beautiful duck species and discover what it takes to build, install, and maintain a nesting box for these birds to help with conservation efforts. Guests will also help us build nest boxes that will be installed around the EEC ahead of the spring nesting season. A limited number of box kits will be available for attendees to purchase and build for their own property.

Registration for this program is $5 per person. Build-your-own box kits are $55 each and limited to one per family/group. When registering, please reserve both the appropriate number of attendee tickets AND the type of kit you would like to build at the workshop (EEC or build-your-own); guests are welcome to build both an EEC box and their own box, if they wish.

Pre-registration is limited and required by Wednesday, March 6th. To reserve you kit and spots, please visit https://elkhart-environmental-center.ticketleap.com/

ItÕs hard to believe that spring/summer is finally on its way in Michiana! The ChildrenÕs Resale is prepped and ready to serve our community by bringing our childrenÕs sale to the public. Our seller list continues to grow each sale with this spring sale adding an additional 50 sellers so that the total number of sellers is nearly at 300 sellers. This will be the largest sale that we have ever attempted at the Northern Indiana Event Center.

Our community shoppers can expect an abundance of spring/summer childrenÕs items sized from infant to juniors to young menÕs and maternity. So many items to choose from will make it impossible for anyone to walk away empty handed! It is a greatly anticipated event for not only families but also teachers, grandparents, and bargain hunters.

Michiana kids and families can expect a great selection of summer clothing, swimwear, summer footwear, spring jackets, and even Easter items. Large items accepted for babies and toddlers will also be provided at this sale such as cribs, strollers, swings, furniture, dolls houses, tool benches, bathtubs, potty seats, and highchairs etc. Multi piece crib sets and all sized comforters will be accepted for this sale. Resale will also offer tabletop items such as toys, books, arts and crafts, electronics, puzzles, games, and kids room dŽcor.

The Resale experienced a loss to our volunteer family with the passing of our dear friend Darlene Angel during the week of the fall 2023 Resale. Darlene lost her battle with cancer resulting in the ÒAngel Blessing ScholarshipÓ being set up in her honor to bless a family battling cancer (child or parent) with a significant gift certificate to the sale. Anyone interested in applying for this scholarship should reach out via email to [email protected] or should call 574-862-1628 to share their story with us. We look forward to finding just the right family to be the recipient of this scholarship for the spring 2024 Resale.

ÒWe look forward to serving our community yet again with our spring Resale.Ó says Resale Coordinator Sarah Freitas.
ÒThese new sellers will bring a good variety to our already impressive quality and quantity of items.Ó We are blessed to serve our community. Thanks so much!
