MONTHLY COVER

Artomobilia 2022: Celebrating 15 Years of Artomobilia and 75 Years of Ferrari As we have done since 2014, our cover this month is dedicated to promoting one of the great annual public events that occurs in Carmel — Artomobilia. This year is extra special because it is the 15th anniversary of Artomobilia and also the 75th anniversary of Ferrari, an iconic Italian car manufacturer whose sense of design and styling has captivated car buyers for years. It is only fitting that Artomobilia feature Ferrari because we can think of no other auto brand that exemplifies the “art” of automotive design as much as Ferrari. Happy anniversary to Artomobilia and Ferrari.

Indiana Stands with Ukraine: A V e r y S p e c i a l C e l e b r i t y F u n d r a i s e r t o b e H e l d f o r U k r a i n i a n R e f u g e e s Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Submitted

On Feb. 24, 2022, the world once again came to a standstill and watched in gaping horror as the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine in a barbaric and unprovoked escalation of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. The world continues to watch as the Russian military intensifies its campaign in an attempt to annihilate the country of Ukraine — creating the largest armed conflict in Europe since WWII as well as an ongoing refugee crisis.

F

or me, personally, it is an all too familiar and tragic storyline that tells the tale of my own German family members who were murdered under the direct order of a vile dictator. Having struck a deep nerve, I had a fateful conversation with Franc D’Ambrosio a few months back while he was visiting in Indiana.

D’Ambrosio is known best for his long-running role as the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera and for his emotional portrayal of the opera-singing Anthony Corleone, son of Al Pacino and Diane Keaton’s characters in the Academy Award-nominated film “The Godfa-

ther III.” He performs throughout the nation and at international concerts and will be returning to Feinstein’s at Hotel Carmichael this August after an unforgettable three nights in August of 2021.

I was aware that D’Ambrosio was sharing his talents and was working with Polish Dominican Friars — with whom he has a personal connection — to raise awareness and funds to provide humanitarian aid for the Ukrainian refugees crossing the Poland-Ukraine border that the friars are caring for — firsthand.

The Dominican Friars have a 501(c)(3) set up, and all of the monetary donations are going right into the hands of these

friars, who are literally on the front lines offering food, shelter, medical and mental health care to Ukrainian refugees and their children.

A Call to Action D’Ambrosio and Olympic figure skating champion Brian Boitano have held many intimate fundraising events for the Dominican Friars at personal and other private residences in California and Pennsylvania.

With this knowledge, I recruited my publishers, Neil and Lena Lucas, and a handful of locals to assist D’Ambrosio with his fundraising efforts. For

10

Carmel_2022July_Ukraine Fundraiser.indd 10

2022-07-27 4:04 PM

those who don’t know, Lena [Lucas] is Ukrainian, and she has been experiencing the devastation and carnage through her family members who were living in Kyiv, Ukraine, when the war broke out. Thankfully, Lena’s family has been spared physical casualties, but the psychological impact and material losses are incomprehensible for those who have never experienced war and displacement.

And so, with the power of networking within the extraordinary philanthropic community that resides in central Indiana, the publishers of Carmel Monthly [the Lucases] and I are honored to be working with an outstanding planning committee comprised of Amy and Ryan Wright of Indianapolis, Neal Burnett and Karen Bender of Indianapolis, Jeanne Martin of northern Indiana, Senior Director of Advancement at Dominican Friars [Western Province] Bryan Fegley, Franc D’Ambrosio and Brian Boitano.

Together, we are coordinating an evening of entertainment, dialogue and fundraising for the Dominican Friars’ 501(c)(3).

And 100% of the proceeds from tickets, as well as additional revenue brought in from an impressive live auction, will go to the friars and immediately to the aid of the Ukrainian refugees the Polish Dominican Friars are assisting. This remarkable invitation-only event will take place at the private residence of Amy and Ryan Wright on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2022. The evening will feature small plates — donated by Ryan and Amy Wright and prepared by Amy, and Lena’s mother Valentyna Ossinna who was a chef in Kyiv — sampling some of Ukraine’s most popular and delectable foods, as well as a national and local celebrity entertainment lineup — plus a special video message and performance from another celebrity artist who has recently graced the stage at Feinstein’s Hotel Carmichael.

A Noble and Obtainable Goal The planning committee is proud to announce the incomparable Franc D’Ambrosio as the evening’s headliner and and a special performance by Don Farrell and Terry Woods, and Indiana

Neal Burnett and Karen Bender

Amy and Ryan Wright

Ballet Conservatory featuring Ukrainian ballet! Attendees will also hear from representatives of the Dominican Friars, Western Province, who will provide updates on the aid that is being administered as a result of the generosity of people from around the globe.

The goal of the evening’s fundraiser is to capitalize on bringing in some of our nation’s and state’s greatest talents to not only entertain us but to raise awareness of the war that the Russians are relentlessly waging against the Ukrainians and to contribute to D’Ambrosio’s goal of raising $1 million by the end of 2022.

With the previous fundraising events combined, D’Ambrosio and Boitano have raised more than $500,000.

“At the moment the war started, I called them [Dominican Friars] right away and asked them, ‘What can I do?’”

D’Ambrosio shared. “They said, ‘We need to get money into the hands of our fellow brothers, and 100% will go towards the health care, medical needs and psychological needs of the refugees and their children.’ The Polish Dominican Priests in this Dominican order roll up their sleeves and work tirelessly — they don’t just speak with their mouths, but they speak with their actions. One of my priest friends told me that he’s turned his parish into a pediatric oncology ward because life still goes on and these children need their cancer treatments.”

Anyone who wishes to donate to the Dominican Friars’ 501(c)(3) does not have

to attend the fundraiser in October to play a vital role in the Ukrainian refugee aid efforts. You can simply visit the Dominican Friars website and donate directly to their 501(c)(3).

“The war and refugee crisis are no longer the top news items,” D’Ambrosio stated. “We have to work even harder now in order to raise money for these individuals. The war isn’t ending any time in the near future, and as a matter of fact, Russia is doubling down on their brutality, so these refugees need even more money and aid.”

D’Ambrosio paused and with conviction, said, “It is imperative that we take care of the [Ukrainian] refugees and the children and address the physical and emotional needs. These children are the future of Ukraine — if they are not healthy and strong, there is no future for Ukraine.”

Stay tuned for more details and related information on the upcoming fundraiser hosted by the planning committee and sponsored by Carmel Monthly. You do not have to attend the event in person to participate! You can make a difference today by donating to the Dominican Friars via their website at https://opwest.org/indianadonation.

We would like to thank Franc D’Ambrosio for his time and efforts, and we hope to see many of you there at one of his two performances to be held at Feinstein’s at Hotel Carmichael on Aug. 26 and 27. Tickets for these shows are on sale at feinsteinshc.com.

On the Road to Glory

Scott Holley Changes His Focus from Stocks to Stock Cars Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Submitted

Every year that I cover Artomobilia, I meet some of the most fascinating car owners who share remarkable stories about their cars and their lives. And this year’s 15th Annual Artombolia is no exception, as I have met collector and race car driver Scott Holley with Holley Motor Sport.

H

olley founded SBC Wealth Management, based in Carmel, Ind., in 1983 and is in the process of retiring from the helm as CEO of his company as he switches gears and focuses on his other passion — racing and collecting vintage and classic cars.

“Over the past decade or so, I have sold off some of my ownership in SBC [Wealth Management] to some of our key people to create an internal succession,” Holley

explained. “There are now six owners, including myself, and it’s time for them to take the reins.”

Holley and his wife, Debbie, are avid car enthusiasts and collectors of some 40 outstanding examples of automotive ingenuity and beauty. Additionally, Holley races and shows his vintage and classic cars — which include a 1963 Jaguar E-Type, a 1966 Ford Shelby GT350 and a vintage NASCAR racecar — in various racetracks and Concours

Holley shared with us that his passion for cars began at a young age.

“When I had enough money from mowing yards to buy my first car, I couldn’t keep it off the drag strip,” Holley shared. “That was the beginning of cars and racing for me, and then I got married and founded SBC Wealth Management. It was the mid-80s when I got involved with Autocross [racing] through the SCCA [Sports Car Club of America] and did that for a few years.”

Holley won some championships and started road racing Porsches in the early 90s.

He added, “I had some friends who were traveling around racing SCCA, and we ended up putting together a four-car team, bought our own rig and all raced Porsches in different classes.”

In the mid-2000s, Holley was laser-focused on building his [SBC Wealth Management] business and sold his rig and “hung up the helmet” in 2007 to focus on family and growing his business.

However, Holley’s passion for cars was not extinguished, and he began collecting muscle cars in 2008. His collection comprises first-generation Dodge Vipers, Dodge Challengers, Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros and other fantastic muscle cars.

Holley shared a fun little story about how his wife, Debbie, really changed the trajectory of Holley’s collection at that point in their lives.

“In 2008, I had stepped away from racing, and my wife and I wanted to do some ocean boating,” Holley recalled. “We were chartering big boats, and I got my captain’s license. One day at the Miami boat show, she said, ‘Rather than buying a boat, why don’t we do some car stuff?’ I asked what she meant by that, and she said, ‘Let’s do some traveling in a fun car.’ So, I bought a Superformance Cobra — which is the only replica that is authorized by Shelby — and we joined the Superformance Cobra Owners Forum [SCOF].”

12

Carmel_2022July_Scott-Holley_v2.indd 12

2022-07-27 4:21 PM

Holley participates in SCOF’s annual Super Cruz and other organized cruising events with other members of the forum.

“It’s six or seven days of living out of Cobras, and there’s usually a small group of hard-core cruisers —10-12 cars — and more often than not, we’re someplace in the Rockies,” Holley said. “We get rained on, hailed on and they’re usually some pretty wild trips.”

At the time Holley started collecting muscle cars, Debbie said to him, “I don’t really like muscle cars. If you buy me a Jaguar XKE, you can have anything you want.”

Holley added, “That’s what I did.

I bought her a one-owner 1969 Jaguar XKE that was like new, and we ended up showing it around the country.”

Returning to the Track in Vintage Fashion Holley self-admittedly fell in love with Jaguars and began collecting and showing his Jaguars. Holley even got into the restoration part of collecting [vintage] cars and completely rebuilt a 1963 Jaguar E-Type that belonged to Scott Brown, a local race car driver. It was at this point that Holley got into vintage racing.

“That Jaguar E-Type is a race car,” Holley explained. “When that car showed up, my wife said, ‘Are you going to race again?’ And I said, ‘Probably.’”

And as his story goes, Holley ended up racing in one of the toughest classes in the vintage racing — the FIA Group 6 — and won championships in a car that was once an “underdog” and became known as the “car to beat.”

“As far as racing goes, a couple of years ago, a friend of mine wanted me to drive his NASCAR road race car at Road America,” Holley shared. “I’d always thought it might be fun to have a NASCAR road race car and go road racing, but to me, they always seemed big like a school bus. I’m a sports car guy, but once I got in one, in the words of my friend, ‘They get small really quick.’”

Today, Holley is the proud owner of two NASCAR road chassis and is actively racing in the NASCAR Vintage Racing

series. Holley is currently leading in points in his class, winning most of the races he’s recently competed in.

“I’m kind of the old guy who’s new to the NASCAR scene, and they’re wondering who this old guy is that they’ve never heard of before driving a stock car,” Holley jested.

“They quit joking when I put it on the pole at my first race up at Road America last year.”

Holley added, “It’s some pretty serious racing, and we get some body damage. There were a few wrecks in Indy [IMS] this year. There’s a big race every spring called the Mitty down at Road Atlanta.

It’s one of the largest vintage races in the U.S., and it’s run through the Historic Stock Car Racing Association. And Mike Hilton, who is a former president of NASCAR, met with a group of us racing our stock cars and asked if we would be interested in being the opening race for the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen [International] in 2023, and we said yes!”

Taking a moment to reflect on the last couple of years, Holley said, “What really got me back into racing was that vintage Jaguar. What’s fun about vintage is not only can you still get serious and run for a championship, but the cars that we grew up with and raced back when I [was] first serious about racing you can still engineer. And in order to win and to be fast, it’s not just about being a great driver — you’ve got to have a great car.

The fun part for me has always been tuning to get the car to do everything that it’s capable of doing.”

Closing One Chapter While Penning a New One As Holley is retiring as CEO from a near 40-year stint at one business that he successfully grew into a billion-dollar RIA firm, he shared that he’s soon to open his dealership, Holley Motor Sport, LLC, up at the Motor District development in Westfield.

“I have an 11,000-square-foot garage for my collection,” Holley said. “And I’m fortunate to have a wife who let me have twice as much garage as house. I’ve had fun buying and selling some cars from my collection, and my good friend is the owner of the distribution network for all things Superformance and Shelby Legendary cars. So, I am opening up a dealership for Superformance and Shelby Legendary cars in one of the Motor District retail commercial buildings, which has just started construction.

I hope to be there by the end of December, and we’ll probably have an open house next spring [2023].”

No venue serves as a better canvas for presenting a stunning collection of automotive performance, luxury and heritage all in one evening.

F

uelicious will excite the senses by delivering a distinct environment, a premium culinary experience, a unique collection of automobiles and a premier audience of committed automotive enthusiasts that combine to create an unmatched, exclusive social entertainment experience.

The Artomobilia team has a long history of designing and delivering a culinary experience like no other. Collaborating with the staff at The Bridgewater Club, the Artomobilia team has created a comprehensive menu that will boast Italian cuisine to honor this year’s marque Ferrari and other exemplary Italian brand automobiles.

The evening’s entertainment will surprise and delight with a high-energy performance with a modern take on classic hits.

Purpose drives the focus of this event by aligning awareness and the resources of automotive enthusiasts, business leaders and local personalities in supporting the incredible work of Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana.

Experiencing The Bridgewater Club Please note, the dress is “summer attire,” and flats — not heels — are highly encouraged, given the nature of the ground surface [grass].

Artomobilia Event Director John Leonard shared, “We’ve partnered with The Bridgewater Club and their chef this year, and there will be a great car collection, signature drinks [and] great food and entertainment, supporting Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana. Earlier that day, we will be doing a ‘Ride and Drive’ with Lake Forest Ferrari and Evans May Wealth.”

Leonard addressed this year’s change of venue from the Lucas Estate to The Bridgewater Club.

“We had a great run at [Lucas] for the better part of seven years,” Leonard emphasized. “They were fantastic, and we continue to love their facility, but we de-

The Bridgewater Club’s Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Mike Gardner is excited to host this year’s Fuelicious guests.

Gardner shared why The Bridgewater Club is an ideal venue for large-scale events such as Fuelicious. “For the past eighteen years, The Bridgewater Club has provided exceptional experiences to our member and guests,” Gardner said.

“With versatile spaces, indoor and outdoor locations, catering and more, our event team ensures that each need of the client is met during their time here. Whether it’s the 90,000-square-foot clubhouse, the 350+ acres of grounds, one of the largest outdoor spaces of any venue in the area or the exceptional service, The Bridgewater Club offers a natural, serene setting unmatched anywhere in central Indiana.”

The Bridgewater Club boasts several

14

Carmel_2022July_Arto Fuelicious.indd 14

2022-07-26 2:08 PM

unique amenities and features in addition to its expertise in private event planning.

“At The Bridgewater Club, we offer experiences tailored to the specific vision of the client,” Gardner shared. “Every event begins with choosing a location, and we offer a range of different spaces to choose from, including The Bridgewater Tent, Event Lawn and Firepit that sit in a secluded area on the east side of the property, steps away from the outdoor terrace and indoor amenities. Draped in Italian lighting and surrounded by enchanting scenery, the Event Lawn has proven to be our most popular spot.”

Gardner continued, “For this event, we are using the north driving range tees framed by lakes, the golf course, acres of open space and the beautiful clubhouse framing the backdrop. The Club’s practice facility has been rated as a Top 50 practice facility every year by Golf Range Association of America Magazine, and the outdoor spaces have been rated as a Top 10 outdoor space by Club and Resort Magazine for private clubs throughout the country. The Clubhouse was also recognized by Club and Resort Magazine as Clubhouse of the Year in 2020.”

The Bridgewater Club’s Executive Chef, Chris Nealy, will delight the guests of Fuelicious with a one-of-akind Italian cuisine menu. Nealy has 20+ years of experience and studied at the acclaimed Johnston and Whales in Charleston, S.C. Nealy has been leading The Bridgewater Club’s culinary team for more than two years.

“From the appetizers to the entrees and the decadent desserts, our culinary team is excited to share their creations with [Fuelicious] guests,” Gardner said. “While dining on Italian cuisine, Fuelicious guests

will enjoy an evening out on our award winning 23-acre driving range.

Gardner expressed the importance of working with community organizations such as the Artomobilia team and collaborating on fundraisers like Fuelicious.

“The Bridgewater Club’s focus is to provide an exceptional experience of the membership,” Gardner stated. “With that being said, our members are heavily involved in the community, and with the Club being the largest private club in the state of Indiana, there is a sense of responsibility to be a good community steward and open the Club’s doors to organizations that are having such a positive impact on the community. We are honored to partner with such a great organization whose values align with the Club.”

Premiere Curators of Car Enthusiasts’ Assets Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Submitted

Motoring Wealth Advisors of Raymond James is a proud participant of the Artomobilia volunteer committee and is owned and operated by father-in-law and son-in-law duo Patrick O’Donovan and Cole McCardel, who are both Carmel, Ind., residents.

O’

Donovan and McCardel have judged and volunteered at Artomobilia and are passionate automotive enthusiasts who combined their professional expertise in wealth management and their personal passions to create a niche business that serves a specific cliental of automotive collectors, race drivers and racing communities, as well as automotive museums and historical organizations.

A Dynamic and Dedicated Duo O’Donovan is a Managing Director, Complex Manager with Raymond James & Associates in the firm’s Carmel office.

He has the responsibility of overseeing the Indiana Market for Raymond James, as well as serving the financial planning and investment needs of individual, corporate and institutional investors.

McCardel is a Financial Advisor with Raymond James & Associates and is married to O’Donovan’s daughter, Alyssa.

McCardel works actively with attorneys and tax accountants to establish an estate

planning process. In his words, “We manage [our clients’] investments and financial planning on an institutional level that the high-net-worth investor may want, but we also help manage their car collection from a valuation standpoint, [as well as] documentation and really anything that comes along. We assist with the curation of their collections.”

Both O’Donovan and McCardel have developed a proprietary process to manage wealth tailored to the above client groups in a manner that reduces unnecessary risk with a focus on tax efficiency. Most importantly, they account for their client’s automotive related assets in all aspects of the planning process so that the stewardship of their automotive related assets will continue their long-lived legacy on the road or track.

“Cole and I are enthusiasts who have an appreciation for cars and people that have cars,” O’Donovan said. “I’ve been in the [financial services] industry for 41 years, and Cole is a financial advisor with Raymond James, so we got together to create a niche business that we’re passionate CARMEL MONTHLY

about, [and] that’s how Motoring Wealth Advisors of Raymond James was born.

It’s really a passion project that has been growing ever since we started it.”

Motoring Wealth Advisors of Raymond James’ association with Artomobilia has been a driving force for the company’s growth in addition to it being a social and recreational event.

“We started out at Artomobilia helping judge, and the more we were around the automotive enthusiast community, we started thinking more about what we do day to day and how a lot of the enthusiasts — in general — were really being overpromised and underdelivered on their services they were receiving by their advisors outside of us,” McCardel shared. “We have a very specific cliental that we serve. We’re only working with [automotive] enthusiasts, collectors and people within motor sports because there’s nobody working in that space in the depth and with the capabilities that we have, and that gives us a competitive advantage. We’ve developed a very specific service model that we’ve had a lot of success with so far.”

Contributors to the Car Enthusiast Community O’Donovan and McCardel understand the importance of collaborating with other enthusiasts to keep the car culture thriving, and that includes introducing

new people — of all ages — to the car enthusiast community. Exposing new and younger people will help to ensure that future generations will be delighted with exquisite car shows and exhibitions that feature decades and centuries of automotive ingenuity and brilliance.

Be sure to check out “Racing Through Time,” a series in partnership with SILO Automotive Club & Conservancy [siloautoclub.com] and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum that is hosted by O’Donovan and McCardel.

“It is an experience that we provide to the public, our clients and members of SILO about three times a year,” McCardel explained. “IMS displays a car from their private collection at SILO for a couple of months at a time, and we host a reception/cocktail party that displays the car, and we also have the Curator of Vehicles from IMS — Jason Vansickle — on site to share the history of the vehicle and any significance it may have in the car world. It’s pretty unique and something we enjoy that gets the enthusiast community together.”

McCardel also serves on the Board of Directors for Indianapolis Cars & Coffee — a local registered nonprofit that unites the car community together through large scale car gatherings twice a month.

Visit indianapoliscarsandcoffee.org for more information.

Financial Food for Thought for Automotive Collectors Navigating through some of the twists and turns that life presents throughout one’s life, particularly on the subject of wealth management and estate planning, takes a level of expertise that O’Donovan and McCardel provide their clients.

On the subject of collecting automobiles, as the generations of car collectors age on, the transfer of assets and wealth should be passed into the hands of competent stewards of the collections. In some instances, where there isn’t a plan in place, the event of a collector’s passing can be a daunting process to the relative(s) left to figure out the value of the collection and how to maintain or sell the collection.

O’Donovan and McCardel work closely with CPAs, attorneys, classic automotive insurance providers, vehicle restoration shops, and other automotive related professionals to ensure their planning fully aligns with the client’s needs, with services that include portfolio monitoring, asset preservation, retirement and estate planning, as well as charitable giving. They take care of the due diligence, including in-depth research and analysis of all investments, which allows them to offer their clients guidance that’s proactive instead of reactive.

“At the end of the day, we are super passionate about what we do,” McCardel stated. “Even if we didn’t have our practice, we would still be out there [at Artomobilia] out of pure enjoyment of being around cars and fellow car enthusiasts. We’ve been fortunate enough to carve a niche [businesses] out of this and serve people in a really specialized way.”

Posh Picnic is Back!

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Courtesy of Coxhall Guild Graphics by Amy Barragree

Carmel Monthly is proud to be a longtime sponsor and supporter of the Posh Picnic, an annual fundraising event organized by the remarkable members of the Coxhall Guild and Friends of Hamilton County Parks.

T

he 4th Annual Posh Picnic will be held at the Cripe Pavilion at Coxhall Gardens on Saturday, Aug. 20, 2022.

The Purpose of the Posh Picnic The proceeds from this fun event will go towards enhancing the many beautiful areas throughout the park.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters of Coxhall Gardens, the guild has been able to complete several beautification projects and enhancements to the park, such as the Children’s Pavilion, elegant planters, three spectacular bronze sculptures in the Children’s Garden and most recently, the installation of the “Atomic Kaleidoscope,” which is an extraordinary sculpture by Robert Anderson.

The mock storefronts in the Children’s Garden were rebuilt due to deterioration caused by drainage issues that are being corrected. The work, time and materials for this project were generously donated by Universal Roofing and Exteriors.

Countless children feed their imaginations in the Children’s Garden at Coxhall Gardens, and it brings endless joy to guild to see the gardens and its amenities enjoyed by guests of the park.

Playful Competition Guests are invited to bring their favorite people, culinary delights, and table settings to create a night of magic in Carmel’s most beautiful picnic spot!

The evening features a tablescape challenge, with prizes awarded for “Most

Posh (elegant),” “Most Creative,” “People’s Choice [voted on by other participants]” and “Most Coxhall-Like.” Guests provide their own refreshments and tableware for a highly personalized, stylish experience.

I speak from experience that the level of creativity and detail that goes into these tablescapes knows no bounds!

There is always a brilliant variety of themes, and many attendees coordinate their meals and attire to complement their tablescape designs.

There is always an impressive silent auction at the picnic, but new this year is the fact that the silent auction will be available online through the OneCause platform.

Soft dinner music will provide a relaxing ambiance in the backdrop, and then the band will step it up a few notches after dinner! Dancing will follow the dinner portion of the event for an unforgettable evening with music provided by the Barbenders.

Transportation will be provided from the Coxhall Mansion parking lot. Guests are encouraged to come early, between 2 and 4 p.m., to set up and decorate their tables. Tables and chairs for 8 or 10 people will be provided, as well as white tablecloths. The rest is up to you and your creativity!

The Importance of Preserving Carmel’s Parks Many of us reconnected with our local parks and trails throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Hamilton County is known for its parks and trails, and Carmel’s Coxhall Gardens is an exceptional addition to this list of amenities.

Friends of Hamilton County Parks Executive Director April Williams is excited about the nonprofit’s latest campaign #givetogetparks.

“The idea [behind the Give to Get Parks campaign] is to encourage the public to stop and think about why they give,” Williams said. “Is it because you want to align with something that you know is significant, or because you are a business and you know it brings economic value, or because you want to market your organization? Is it because you know the

rewards and return of giving to something that is good, or is it all of the above?

Whether you’re a donor, a patron or a volunteer, you’re helping to grow our parks.”

Williams continued, “I give [to parks] because I get to walk my dog in the park and run in the park. I get to go to the beautiful children’s garden and experience — as a family — all the great things, mental and physical, that parks bring. I think it’s important that we don’t forget why our parks are so special and why we need to

In addition to purchasing a table or seats for this year’s Posh Picnic, the organizers would like to remind the area’s business community that there are sponsorship opportunities available. The Coxhall Guild and Friends of Hamilton County Parks value their sponsors greatly and invite any interested businesses to contact them for more information on how to become a sponsor and how their sponsorship impacts Coxhall Gardens.

The organizers of this year’s Posh Picnic are honored to have The Stratford returning as a top-tier sponsor and are thrilled to announce the Indianapolis Colts and Prime 47 Carmel as additional top-tier sponsors for this year’s event.

Risin’ Creek Creamery Produces AwardWinning Cheese and Goats Writer // Janelle Morrison Photography // Jennifer Hershberger

This month, I am happy to feature another one of the Carmel Farmers Market’s vendors: Risin’ Creek Creamery. The Vanzant family — Tim and Sheena — are the third generation of current owners and are proud vendors at the Carmel Farmers Market for the fourth year. They, along with their son Cole and Tim’s parents, Dana and Diann [Vanzant], actively run the generational farm and produce some of the world’s finest products from goat milk that is exclusively produced on their farm from their own herd of goats. No steroids, artificial hormones, preservatives or anti-caking agents are added to their products.

I

spoke with Tim Vanzant about how he got into raising goats, the family’s generational farm and the farm’s expansion into a now world-renowned creamery.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF RISIN’ CREEK CREAMERY The Risin’ Creek Creamery is located just outside of Martinsville, Ind., in a picturesque Hoosier river valley. Vanzant’s grandparents, Frank and Iola Nungester, purchased the property when the original Downey Farmstead was dispersed. For decades, the property was primarily used for pig and cattle grazing. Vanzant shared that there are remnants of the tenant farmhouse on the property, and there is a root cellar built into a hill that is behind the family’s goat barn.

“Going back to when I was a child, I lived in this farming community [outside of Martinsville], and I spent a lot of time on one neighbor’s small Jersey dairy cow farm,” Vanzant shared. “I wanted to start showing some type of livestock in 4-H, and I migrated towards goats. I showed goats throughout my childhood, and I never gave it up.”

Running the creamery is a family affair.

Vanzant and his wife run the creamery along with the help of their 13-year-old son Cole, and Vanzant’s parents are active in the daily operations as well.

Vanzant’s mother creates soap and lotion products, which are

made from the goat milk that is produced by their [goat] herd, as well as high quality oils and other natural ingredients.

RAISING AND SHOWING AWARD-WINNING GOATS What started out as a hobby show herd evolved into an award-winning venture for Vanzant and his goats. Vanzant and his family have traveled throughout the country showing their prize-winning goats at national shows.

“I’ve seen more of the country with the trailer and goats behind me than I’ve seen it any other way,” Vanzant said. “Most of our vacation travel was goat related. We’re fivetime national champions — for either Grand Champion or Reserve Grand Champion — at the national shows and have earned Premier Breeder and Reserve Breeder as well.”

Vanzant’s goats have earned Grand Champion at the Indiana State Fair at least 40 times and Premier Breeder and Exhibitor at the state fair 18 times.

“It’s humbling to sit back and talk about it,” Vanzant expressed. “I’ve been doing this for almost 40 years, and at this point, I’ve dedicated my life to raising goats, breeding a better goat and caring for goats. Right now, we’re just north of 200 goats, and we’re milking about 75, making a good amount of milk. We expect our does [female goats] to milk a gallon a day.”

CARMEL MONTHLY

Vanzant shared that 95% of his herd is comprised of registered purebred Nubian goats, and the remainder are Saanen goats.

Nubians are known for their long, floppy ears and high, arching nose.

“Saanens are a high production and lower butterfat [breed], and the Nubians don’t produce as much milk but higher butterfat,” Vanzant explained. “There’s also a difference between the [breeds’] personalities, as well as the milk that they produce. The combination of the two [breeds] is a nice balance.

The high butterfat is good for cheese-making, and with the higher yield per gallon of milk, I get more cheese from it. We have aspirations of bottling milk, and we’re excited about doing that. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a couple of years.”

Beating out major manufacturers of goat cheese, Vanzant is proud to have earned the bronze medal in his class at the World Cheese Championship this past February for his plain fresh chèvre goat cheese.

“We produce multiple flavors of our fresh chèvre,” Vanzant stated. “Our roasted garlic is probably our best seller, and it’s won multiple awards on a national level.

Our Tuscany blend has placed well, and our strawberry cream has won the ‘sweet’ category. Our cheese placed above all those that you find in Whole Foods and Fresh Thyme Markets, so that was quite the thrill.”

SUPPORTING LOCAL HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT The Vanzant family appreciates the support of their customers and understands the importance of local supporting local as it pertains to farmers, local farmers markets and local restaurants.

Practicing what they preach, the Vanzants have collaborated with their CFM booth neighbor, Maplewood Farms, and use Maplewood’s maple syrup in Risin’ Creek Creamery’s goat milk caramel sauce.

Be sure to stop by Risin’ Creek Creamery’s booth at the Carmel Farmers Market on Saturdays and stay tuned for the launch of the creamery’s brand-new website that will enable customers to purchase items online.
