Spark Buttons return with promo card for local deals

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com After a two-year hiatus, Spark Buttons are back.

The light-up buttons, which help fund the fireworks at CarmelFest, haven’t been sold since before the COVID-19 pandemic began. This year’s theme is “Be A Spark in Our Community.”

This year, fireworks will fill the skies both nights of the festival, with shows visible on the east and west sides of town July 3 and a show visible in central Carmel July 4.

Jeff Worrell, a longtime CarmelFest volunteer who coordinates the Spark Button program, said the buttons help people who purchase them feel more connected to the event. Many who buy Spark Buttons are repeat customers.

“I’ve got parents that come up to me who say,

‘We’re back! We’ve been buying these all these years,’” Worrell said.

Sales help to defrey the cost of the fireworks show.

Spark Buttons cost $10, and – instead of a collection of paper coupons as in previous years – come with a promo card loaded with coupons and deals from local merchants, such as a free mug and discounts on meals and lawn services.

Participating merchants will display a Spark Button decal in their window and will honor the deal upon presentation of the promo card.

Most Spark Button promo card deals are valid July 1 to Dec. 31.

Spark Buttons can be purchased at All Things Carmel, 110 W. Main St., the Carmel Farmers’ Market and concerts at the gazebo near City Hall through July 4. All Things Carmel will also sell Spark shirts and stickers, both of which are new offerings this year.

KidZone favorites return

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com CarmelFest is a family tradition for many because it offers a wide range of activities for all ages – including the always popular KidZone.

This year, the KidZone – south of City Hall – will be divided into sections, according to co-chair William Howard II. “We will have kid-friendly vendors, a section of rides and attractions specifically for our older kids and younger adults, and a section for our toddlers and younger kids,” Howard said.

“We are committed to not just providing rides and attractions for families, but to create an enjoyable and fun experience for everyone, from toddlers to young adults and for those adults who are still very much kids at heart,” KidZone co-chair Christine Zoccola said.

This is the second year Zoccola and Howard have served as cochairs for KidZone, and both have enjoyed the event with their families through the years.

“CarmelFest is truly a special event for family and friends of all ages to enjoy together,” Zoccola said. “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to help with this amazing community event.”

The decision on what to include in the KidZone is based on input from families and children, according to Howard.

“We spent a good amount of time last year walking around and speaking with families to identify what was good, what they liked, what they hoped for or would like to see in the future KidZones,” Howard said.

That includes the return of bounce houses and inflatable rides that were temporarily grounded because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This year, the kids will get the opportunity to run, jump and bounce until their hearts are content,” Zoccola said.

Other familiar rides and attractions will return, such as a 25-foot climbing wall, the gyroscope, a bungee jump trampoline and a petting zoo. New attractions include a mechanical bull/skateboard, eight-person toxic meltdown, a street-performing magician, a photo booth and a water balloon attraction.

Food vendor choices expand

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com CarmelFest is known for its parade, KidZone, fireworks and, of course, the food. This year, more than 50 vendors will be set up along Veteran’s Way in front of the Carmel Gazebo and around Carter Green in front of the Palladium July 3 and 4.

“We have several new vendors each year, with this year (having) the most vendors yet,” said Jill Gilmer, who has chaired or co-chaired the food vendor portion of CarmelFest for nine years.

Food vendors will be set up in two locations and sell items including elephant ears, chicken on a stick, egg rolls, bison burgers, funnel cakes,

tenderloins, Dippin’ Dots and lemon shake-ups. Gyros, roasted corn, kettle corn, apple dumplings, turkey legs and other items also will be part of the fare.

“Red Frazier Bison and Oriental Grill are back after the pandemic and are ready to serve all those who have missed them,” Gilmer said. “Kona Ice and Dippin’ Dots will be returning once again to keep us all cool in the warm weather. We have some vendors celebrating over 15 years with us. A few new vendors are focusing on new items such as patty melts, poutine, salads, wood-fired pizzas and more.”

Gilmer said some vendors will offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

Talent show returns July 3

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Having been selected as one of 40 Songbook Academy national finalists for the July 16 to 23 summer intensive program at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, Lauren Sciaudone figures any singing experience in front of an audience will be a benefit.

“I’m excited for Songbook, but it’s nerve-racking to have that big of an audience (at the Palladium),” the Westfield resident said. “I’m definitely nervous, so it’s good to have something to do so I get back in the feel of performing since COVID took a lot of that away.”

Thus, Sciaudone, 17, is looking forward to gaining experience through CarmelFest Has Talent. The show is set for noon to 2 p.m.

July 3 at the Gazebo Sciaudone stage.

Sciaudone, who will be a Guerin Catholic High School senior in August, finished third in her age category in the 2019 CarmelFest Has Talent competition.

The three categories are 12 and younger, ages 13-16 and 17 and older.

Solo performers and groups compete.

Instrumental acts also are eligible.

Each age category will have 15 finalists performing. The top three finishers in each category will be awarded prizes of $300, $200 and $100.

Audrey Gradle, who will be a fifth-grader at Carmel’s Clay Center Elementary, will compete in the 12-and-younger category. She finished third in the competition last year.

Gradle “The best part of competing is watching the other performers, and having fun,” Gradle said. “I love performing in front of large groups, and even if I don’t win, it’s a great opportunity.”

Gradle’s audition song was Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.”

“Last year’s event taught me that even when you don’t win, it’s still something I want to be a part of to get more experience and exposure performing,” she said.

COMMUNTY SPARK CarmelFest grand marshals reflect on 30 years of service at event

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Jeff and Shari Worrell are looking forward to experiencing the annual CarmelFest parade as grand marshals, in part so they can experience it side by side.

“Usually, we’re not together at the parade,” Shari said.

That’s because for the last three decades, the couple typically has been working as volunteers at the parade, and, for the last six years, Jeff — a member of the Carmel City Council — has been in it representing Carmel with other city council members.

This year, the Worrells will ride together in a classic car owned by businessman and developer Turner Woodard, as the CarmelFest parade committee unanimously selected the Carmel couple as grand marshals to honor them for their 30 years of service to the event.

“When we heard it was Jeff and Shari’s 30th anniversary with CarmelFest, the parade committee unanimously voted to award the 2022 grand marshal honor to them,” said Bec Hunter, parade committee chairperson. “They have worked long hours and behind the scenes at CarmelFest every year. If we need help with anything, they are on it, and we have called upon them many times.”

Not only have the Worrells been instrumental in growing CarmelFest

into one of the largest summer events in central Indiana, but they also kept it from disappearing only a few years after its launch.

CONTINUING THE TRADITION Jeff was reared in Urbandale, Iowa, where his father helped organize a July Fourth parade each year as a member of the Lions Club. After moving to Carmel in 1989, fond memories of that event inspired him to get involved with the holiday parade in Carmel.

The Carmel Chamber of Commerce organized CarmelFest at the time, and as an entrepreneur and member of the chamber, Jeff easily was able to sign up as a volunteer for the first time in 1992.

“I had a great time because they gave me a walkie talkie and a golf cart, and I thought I had died and gone to heaven,” said Jeff, whose duties included collecting trash and hauling ice that year. “I thought that was the coolest thing.”

Around that time, the festival – like the city’s population – experienced rapid growth. Chamber leaders decided the event had become too large for them to manage, and they were prepared to let CarmelFest come to an end.

Jeff was among those who wanted to see it continue, so he spoke with then-Mayor Ted Johnson to see if the event could be saved. Johnson said if a citizen committee agreed to organize and manage the event, the city would provide assistance and allow it to be held at the gazebo near City Hall. Previously, the event had been held at the Carmel High School football stadium and in an empty field that later became the site of the Carmel Clay Public Library.

In 1994, Jeff became the first chairperson of the CarmelFest committee, a role he has held for six or seven events since then, he said. CarmelFest has continued to be centered at the gazebo, although its footprint has grown through the years.

COMMUNITY SPARK Jeff has held various roles with CarmelFest through the years, but during most of his time as a volunteer he’s been involved with putting on the fireworks show.

In the early days, he was tasked with making sure a tarp covered shells waiting to be used during the fireworks show, pulling it back as a runner grabbed the ones up next to be shot into the sky.

“We would get rained on with embers,” Jeff said. “That’s why you had to cover everything, or it would all blow up.”

Continued from Page 10 At more recent CarmelFests, Jeff has staked out a spot by the gazebo stage, walkie talkie in hand, so he could alert those setting off the fireworks when it was time to launch the first ones, ensuring they were in synch with patriotic music performed live by the Carmel Symphony Orhcestra.

He’s also been key in promoting and selling Spark Buttons, light-up pins that come with coupons from local merchants. He said selling the buttons is his favorite part of CarmelFest.

“It always leads to a conversation, and it has been a great connector to people who want to tell me something,” Jeff said. “I love it.”

SERVING TOGETHER Shari’s also has held a variety of roles as a CarmelFest volunteer through the years, although she prefers to remain behind the scenes. The Worrell’s two children, now adults, also spent many years serving at the event.

“It really taught them a lot about volunteerism, about being a part of the community you’re in,” Shari said.

But it wasn’t all work. The family developed fun traditions, as well, such as an ongoing plan to gather with neighbors to relax and listen to live music the afternoon of July 4, and Shari and her daughter being determined to order the festival’s last elephant ear.

“We’d get in the line, and if anybody got behind us, we’d make them go ahead of us, so we’d always get the last elephant ear at the festival,” said Shari, noting that the tradition ended when CarmelFest grew to have more than one elephant ear vendor.

This year, the Worrell’s two children will be back in town for the festival, and – for the first time – their granddaughter will be there, too. The family looks forward to experiencing one of their favorite traditions together again.

“I can’t imagine the Fourth of July without CarmelFest,” Shari said.

IT’S NOT ALWAYS EASY Helping to coordinate CarmelFest for 30 years has been a lot of fun for Jeff and Shari Worrell, but it also has been challenging at times.

In 2003, Jeff received an unexpected call from the state of Indiana regarding the sale of Spark Buttons, which came with a number used for a weekly prize drawing.

“It was the excise police, who said, ‘Mr. Worrell, you’re running an illegal lottery, and we’re issuing you a cease-and-desist (order),’” Jeff said. “I was competing with the (Hoosier Lottery).”

The buttons continued to be used to give away prizes for many

subsequent years – but always with a license to do so.

Another challenge occurred in 2005, when — only weeks before the event — the man who supplied the fireworks died of a heart attack, which left Jeff frantically searching for a new vendor for the industry’s busiest night of the year.

“I had to scramble to find a new fireworks company,” Jeff said.

“Who isn’t already booked on July 4?”

Just in time, Jeff connected with Melrose Pyrotechnics, a Kendallville-based company that has been supplying the CarmelFest fireworks ever since.
