Bicentennial Pavilion completed at 4-H fairgrounds

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County and Purdue Extension officials hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 10 to celebrate the completion of the Bicentennial Pavilion at The Silos at 37 Hamilton County: 4-H Fairgrounds and Event Center.

The 6,600-square-foot pavilion adds event and educational space to the fairgrounds and replaces two aging buildings, the Annex and O.V. Winks buildings, lost to the Pleasant Street expansion.

“To me, this is kind of a happy and sad occasion,” Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger said. “Sad because if you grew up in this community, like I did, the O.V. Winks building was kind of an icon in Noblesville. It’s where we gathered for years and years and years, and because of the Pleasant Street project, it had to be torn down.

That’s the bad news. The happy news is that this building and this ribbon cutting is the beginning of a new era for the 4-H and Purdue Extension, and that makes it a very happy occasion for us.”

The new structure has indoor and outdoor gathering areas and will be available for public and private events starting in 2026. It is a part of Phase 1A of the county’s “Fairgrounds for the Future” plan — an effort to renovate, expand and rebrand the site as “The Silos at 37 Hamilton County: 4-H Fairgrounds and Events Center.”

Phase 1A was funded by a $15 million grant from the Hamilton County Council and Commissioners, which supported the construction of the Bicentennial

Pavilion and infrastructure improvements across the 44-acre campus.

“We’re headed for an overall renovation of this project of hopefully close to $65 million by the time it’s said and done,” Dillinger said.

Purdue Extension Hamilton County Director Susan Peterson said she looks forward to using the space for years to come.

“In the course of this last year, we have had a lot of pivots in our programming,” Peterson said. “As we look at

the public portion, we look forward to what’s ahead. We talk about our heritage here, and that matters, and it’s important, but the legacy will also focus our commitment to certain audiences in the future. We are so proud of this new facility and so thankful that we have this opportunity to provide educational programs here and be a part of something that can serve as a gathering place for generations.”

Fundraising efforts are underway to complete Phase 1B of the aproject. Future phases will include a multipurpose show arena and expanded classroom space. For more, contact friendsofhamcoextension@gmail.com.

Noblesville honors veterans

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com City officials, State Rep. Alaina Shonkwiler (R-Noblesville), public safety officials and community members joined members of the American Legion Post 45 and VFW Post 6246 Ralph Lehr to honor veterans in downtown Noblesville Nov. 11.

“I’m so proud to represent a community that honors those who serve our country, whether they have gone before us or are continuing to serve today,” Jensen said. “Not every community is blessed to have the patriotic pride that Noblesville has, whether it be flags around the square multiple times a

year, banners on light posts to honor those who have served before us or a simple grateful heart. I’m so proud to be a Noblesville Miller and proud to represent this community.”

Shonkwiler, whose husband Jason Shonkwiler served in the military, applauded veterans and their family members.

“That service is not just a job, it’s not just a career, but it’s truly a lifestyle, and it’s something that you carry with you forever,” Alaina said. “The next freedom is only one generation away from extinction. So, we need to continue to show our children what it means to be a great American.”

Food bank receives $100K news@currentnoblesville.com The Hamilton County Community Foundation, in partnership with the Crosser Family Foundation and the Shelly & Cherryl Friedman Family Fund, recently gave a $100,000 grant to the Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank to provide immediate relief to residents affected by the recent interruption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.

According to foundation officials, the stall in SNAP benefit disbursements has placed additional strain on local families and food pantries. The emergency grant aims to help the food bank purchase and distribute essential food items to meet increased demand and ensure families in need have access to nutritious meals.

“This is exactly why community foundations exist — to respond swiftly when our neighbors face unexpected hardship,” stated Danielle Stiles-Polk, president of the Hamilton County Community Foundation. “This grant represents the power of community partnerships in action, and we are deeply grateful to the Crosser Family Foundation and the Friedman Family Fund for their shared commitment to supporting Hamilton County families.”

The Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank serves as a partner in addressing food insecurity across the county, pro-

viding support to residents facing hunger and hardship.

“We are deeply grateful to the Hamilton County Community Foundation, the Crosser Family Foundation and the Shelly & Cherryl Friedman Family Fund for this generous $100,000 grant,” stated Suzanna Hobson, executive director of the Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank. “This support comes at a pivotal time for many residents impacted by SNAP benefit interruptions and will help ensure continued access to nutritious food across our community. It’s a powerful reminder of the compassion and collaboration that make Hamilton County such a caring place to call home.”

HCCF works year-round with community partners to strengthen longterm solutions to hunger through initiatives like the Hamilton County Food Resource Coalition, a collaborative effort to improve coordination among food providers and expand equitable access to food resources countywide.

“Hunger doesn’t begin or end with the loss of a benefit,” Stiles-Polk stated.

“We’re committed to ensuring that every Hamilton County resident has reliable access to healthy food, not just today, but for the future.”

Community members can make a direct donation to the Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank at hchfoodbank.org.

Noblesville collects food for local pantry news@currentnoblesville.com The City of Noblesville collected nonperishable food items at the beginning of the month as a lead into the Noblesville Fire Department’s 48th Annual Food and Toy Drive.

The collected items were donated to the White River Christian Church Food Pantry.

Jensen cited the federal government shutdown as the reason for the food drive.

“In times of uncertainty with the government shutdown, the City of Noblesville will continue to give back and help our neighbors along with dedicated nonprofits and faith groups working

constantly to address food insecurity,” Jensen stated. “Local communities do not have the luxury of shutting down and we also won’t turn our back on our most vulnerable. Noblesville is glad to play a small part in amplifying and supplementing efforts in this critical time of need.”

The NFD is accepting canned goods, nonperishable food items and new, unwrapped toys from now until Dec. 5. Donations can be dropped off at any Noblesville Fire Station or at City Hall.

Deliveries to the families will take place Dec. 13.

HSE senior soccer player had memorable prep career

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School girls soccer coach Greg Davidson wasn’t surprised senior forward Riley Boyd scored the game-winning goal in the Class 3A state championship final.

“She is such an amazing athlete,” Davidson said. “She’s one of my captains.

She has been such an amazing leader.

She plays with such heart that it was not surprising. We’ve had a couple of goals where we have pressured a goalie or a center back so much that they coughed it up, and that’s another reason why she is a phenomenal forward (because) she takes advantage of those opportunities.

She presses so hard and plays so fast that it disrupts defenders and goalies, and that is what happened for her to create that.”

Boyd scored the winning goal in the Royals’ 1-0 victory over Carmel Nov. 1 at Carroll Stadium in Indianapolis. It was the first girls soccer state title for the Royals.

“Being the one to score the winning goal for the team, coaches and program

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK MEET RILEY BOYD Favorite athlete: Trinity Rodman.

Favorite TV show: “Outer Banks” Favorite movie: “Avatar” Favorite musician: Drake Favorite subject: History was an unforgettable feeling,” Boyd said. “The minutes leading up to the goal required motivation, hard work, positivity and love that each player carried with them, which makes the goal even more special. Being able to be in that situation meant a lot to me and I wouldn’t want to have been surrounded by another group of girls when helping make history.”

She said the team had a very tight

bond.

“The love and support we gave each other throughout the season is what helped us achieve a state championship,” she said.

Boyd injured her lower back in the 2024 season opener against Carmel and missed the entire season. She said that made the championship season even sweeter.

She shared the team lead for goals with Sloane May, a University of Michigan recruit, with 15 each. Boyd committed in August 2024 to play at

Indiana University. Boyd was named to the Indiana Soccer Coaches Association All-State First team and May was named Player of the Year.

“What makes me so passionate about soccer is being able to fulfill my dreams I had as a little kid,” she said. “Winning a state championship and going on to play (NCAA Division I) soccer is something I dreamed of as a little kid.

Also, being able to express my values of discipline, confidence, competitiveness, creativity and teamwork on the field has always given me the reason to be so passionate about soccer.’’

Boyd said the deciding factor for continuing her career at IU was her family.

“I have a huge supporting and loving family and I couldn’t imagine not seeing them in the stands or being only an hour away,” said Boyd, who plans to major in business.

She started playing soccer when she was 3 years old “Growing up, I played basketball, volleyball, ran track and gymnastics.” said Boyd, whose club team is FC Pride Elite.

She gave up basketball and track in seventh grade to concentrate on soccer.

“Becoming a lawyer has been my dream since I was 9 years old,” Eyler stated. “My mom was a student studying to become a paralegal, and I loved helping her hunt for law books in the library.”

Eyler began her legal career in downtown Indianapolis, where she practiced civil litigation, criminal defense, land planning and zoning, and probate law from 2003 to 2015. She joined Webster & Garino LLC in 2018 and earned

“Over the past decade in private practice, I’ve found the greatest reward in helping people reach resolution,” Eyler stated. “This new role gives me the opportunity to help people move forward.”

Hamilton Circuit Court Judge Andrew Bloch, who was appointed to the Hamilton County Circuit Court bench by former Gov. Eric Holcomb in 2024, said he has high hopes for Eyler.

“She has been an attorney for over twenty years and brings unique practical and legal experience in a wide variety of areas of law to our growing judiciary,” Bloch stated.

The Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Department has announced the installation of an Automated External Defibrillator Save Station near the Children’s Garden at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel, 1677 Towne Rd. The new Save Station is part of Hamilton County Parks and Recreation’s ongoing effort to enhance emergency readiness across its park system through community partnerships and proactive safety initiatives.

The project was made possible through the Coxhall Guild, which donated the Save Station, a cabinet designed to house an AED, and the Carmel Fire Department, which donated the Automated External Defibrillator and a Stop the Bleed Kit, a specialized trauma kit containing items like tourniquets, gauze and trauma shears.

The station provides 24/7 access to critical emergency tools that can make a difference in cardiac or trauma situations, giving park guests and staff the ability to take immediate action while waiting for first responders to arrive.

“We are so grateful to the Coxhall

Hunger study shows Indiana food needs news@youarecurrent.com A survey of food assistance needs in central Indiana shows that the rate of “very low” food security throughout the region — regardless of county line — is 37 percent of the population.

The study was conducted by Indy Hunger Network in partnership with Central Indiana Community Foundation, Indiana University Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the City of Indianapolis Office of Public Health and Safety. This year marked the first time the survey broadened its scope beyond Marion County to include all nine central Indiana counties, according to a news release.

In addition to the 37 percent “very low” food security rate, the survey found that more than half of central Indiana households experienced some level of food insecurity during the 2024–25 study period.

“Hunger doesn’t look like you think it would,” stated Kate Howe, executive director of Indy Hunger Network. “It’s your employees, your neighbors, the people you pass by every day. This study shows it’s more prevalent and pervasive than many realize.”

This year’s larger sample size included 1,300 respondents from all nine central Indiana counties. About half were Marion County residents. About 60 percent of all respondents were employed, 86 percent lived in a household with at least one wage earner and 6 percent reported they were unemployed.

“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Marion County and surrounding counties have such similar rates of food insecurity,” stated Jennifer Bartenbach, president and CEO of CICF. “We are the most interconnected region in the state. But luckily that also means when we empower more of our neighbors to afford and access healthy food, the entire region prospers. With major funding cuts underway, now is the time for philanthropy to help expand some of that access.”

CICF maps out plan to empower community

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com Since it began in 1997, Central Indiana Community Foundation has expanded its focus from supporting its two founding agencies — the Indianapolis Foundation and the Hamilton County Community Foundation — to providing its own services to the communities of Marion and Hamilton counties and, now, launching its first strategic plan to guide CICF’s mission beyond those borders.

President and CEO Jennifer Bartenbach said she launched the strategic planning process after she began her new position with CICF two years ago because she wanted to help the agency further establish its own identity.

“That’s what excited me about this role — I was able to create … our strategic plan for the community and redefine central Indiana and what that really means,” she said. “More people live in the eight surrounding counties than in Marion County, and that’s the first time that’s ever really been the case. And so, central Indiana is — we’re defining it as those nine counties — and it’s one of the fastest economic engines in the Midwest.”

A large part of the strategic plan, launched this year, focuses on bolstering central Indiana’s nonprofit organizations, which are vital to maintaining their communities.

“No matter who’s the political party in office, there’s a breakdown in our housing sector, there’s a breakdown in our food sector, there is a breakdown in our arts and culture, in our parks, in our trails,” Bartenbach said. “There’s a funding problem that exists, and philanthropy and nonprofits have to fill that gap and that need. When the social service sector can’t meet the needs of our homeless population, of our sick, of all of those, the nonprofits are what come into play and we’re seeing, right now, that it’s even more critical.”

She noted that the nonprofit ecosystem in central Indiana is robust — it’s responsible for $44 billion in

annual economic activity and employs 10 percent of the region’s private sector.

Bartenbach said one part of the strategic plan helped map out how CICF can better facilitate connections throughout the region.

“For example, we are working on a survey of food assistance needs in central Indiana that used to be done by the Indy Hunger Network only in Marion County,” she said. “We reached out and said, ‘What would it take to include all nine counties in that?’ Because hunger is a problem in central Indiana, not just in Marion County.”

The results will be shared with community foundations in the nine counties to provide valuable data as they decide where to focus resources.

The other three sections of CICF’s plan focus on the culture of giving, the nonprofit ecosystem, and people and potential. Each of the sections has related work plans to, for example, keep philanthropic giving inside of the region; help nonprofit leaders understand that they aren’t competing against each other for donations; and provide technical assistance, advice and training for nonprofit leaders to help them lead more effectively.

Bartenbach stressed that CICF serves central Indiana primarily by providing valuable guidance and helping groups connect with each other so everyone can succeed together.

Fund fights SNAP cuts

Group launches $1M relief fund to aid food banks news@currentnoblesville.com

A group of community funders has launched a $1 million central Indiana Food Relief Fund in response to cuts to federal SNAP benefits.

The fund will support three food organizations that supply food to hundreds of pantries across the region and state.

One hundred percent of donated funds will be distributed to Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, Midwest Food Bank of Indiana and Second Helpings.

The fund was launched with a $500,000 donation from an anonymous donor, intended to encourage the community to match or exceed that amount.

The Indianapolis Foundation, Lilly Endowment Inc. and the Eli Lilly and Co. Foundation (Lilly Foundation) contributed, meeting that match.

Community members also are encouraged to donate directly to Gleaners, Midwest Food Bank and Second Helpings or contribute to the Central Indiana Food Relief Fund at uwci.org/

central-indiana-food-relief-fund. The fund will be managed by United Way, a nonprofit that works to improve the community by addressing poverty through a focus on education, income, health and basic needs.

According to the announcement, nearly 150,000 people across central Indiana — in Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Marion, Morgan and Putnam counties — rely on SNAP. About 49 percent of SNAP participants in the region are families with children.

“Food is not a privilege; it’s a basic human right,” stated Fred Payne, United Way of Central Indiana’s president and CEO. “United Way is proud to stand alongside its partners and other funders to respond to this critical need and help hard-working families put food on the table. Philanthropy alone cannot fill this gap. But we are calling on our community right now to join us, support our food banks and help our neighbors in need.”

Those in need of food assistance also can visit communitycompass.app/home to find resources. The free, interactive tool allows people to search and find groceries and meals closest to them.

Nonprofit theater academy wants to expand reach, programs

A BOOMING PERFORMANCE

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com Youth Inspirations Theatre, a performing arts academy at 9625 E. 150th St. in Noblesville, is looking to grow in its fifth year as a nonprofit.

The theater is open to children between the ages of 4 and 19, offering five major productions each year, along with semester classes, summer camps and private lessons.

Andi Clark, marketing director for Youth Inspirations Theatre, said as it grows, so do costs associated with running a nonprofit, such as costumes, musical rights, set design and staff.

“Being a nonprofit, we rely on a lot of donations, so we try to get production sponsors for each of our productions to help cover the cost of rights for the shows, set building, costumes and salaries for instructors,” Clark said.

Currently, the theater rents space at the Hamilton County Sports Complex and performs at the Shelton Auditorium at Butler University. Clark said the goal is to find a permanent home.

“We would like to be able to eventually raise enough funds so we could purchase an old church or an old house to renovate so we could actually have our own space instead of having to rent it out,” Clark said.

Carmel resident Julie Nottingham, founder and executive director of YIT, said the organization is planning to start hosting an annual fundraiser. It also is looking for more sponsors.

“We enrich student lives and want sponsors that do so as well,” Nottingham said. “Education is a huge component and a big passion of mine, and it sets us apart from other community theaters. We want a lo-

cation that can encompass classrooms, private lesson rooms and a full-blown stage. There are not very many theatres in Hamilton County that are affordable to rent, so we are going to Butler, which is very far for our families. We want to find something that’s going to be a beacon of the community that other groups also could use, but then also would continue our mission.”

Nottingham also wants to offer opportunities for adults.

“We’d love to broaden our age groups,” Nottingham said. “My degree is in music education, and based on what I know about development, I know students work better when they are broken up into age categories.

Nottingham operated a voice and piano studio for several years before starting YIT in 2020.

“I had a revelation that I wanted a one-stop shop,” Nottingham said. “We officially incorporated in May of 2020, and it’s been a huge blessing ever since. We’ve been able to make an impact on a lot of students’ lives and help them go on to college to do musical theater.

We are educating students and helping them get to the next level.”

Up next for the organization are two productions: “Aladdin Kids” and “Newsies Jr.” “‘Aladdin Kids’ is for our students who are ages 6 to 10, and that will be Nov. 20-23,” Nottingham said.

“Following that, we will have ‘Newsies Jr.’ from Dec. 12-14, and that will be performed at Butler.”

Nottingham plans to continue looking for a new space to expand programming.

“My long-term goals are to offer as many performing arts opportunities as we can,” Nottingham said.

“Eventually, I would love to have a student orchestra

Youth Inspirations Theatre offers a program called Stars Company for advanced students who receive higher levels of training in vocals, dance and acting.

The students have the opportunity to perform in the community, and most recently, the 202526 Stars Company performed at the Nov. 8 home opener for the Noblesville Boom, the G League affiliate of the Indiana Pacers.

“We did a 2 1/2-minute song and dance number before the game started,” said Julie Nottingham, founder and executive director of YIT. “It was super fun. It was great for us to get in there and see the new arena, which is beautiful, and also get our name out there and have a great opportunity for our students.”

Children in the Stars Company get enrollment included for both “Aladdin Kids” and “Seussical Kids” (for company members ages 8-10) or “Newsies Jr.” & “Grease: School Edition” (for company members ages 11-17); audition workshops for productions; a 20 percent discount on additional classes; a 10 percent discount on private lessons; opportunities to learn from guest instructors all year and community performance opportunities. that plays for our productions and also develop a student directing program so students can learn that whole other side. We also want to grow our tech department for students who want to learn behind-thescenes stuff like stage managing and sound. We want to have a big facility that we can offer all those things in.”

Old Town Design Group, a local home builder, recently partnered with the charity organization Homes of Hope to build a new home for a family in need in Mexico.

Homes of Hope has built more than 10,000 homes around the world, including in Mexico, where many families face housing insecurity. Selected families live in unsafe or unstable conditions, and a secure, permanent home can be life changing, according to the organization.

In Mexico, Homes of Hope provides jobs to local family members of the recipients, empowering them to be part of the homebuilding process. The local family members build cabinetry, windows, beds and more, laying the foundation for shelter and self-sufficiency.

In total, 97 percent of children who receive a Homes of Hope home graduate from school, compared to the national average of 26 percent in Mexico. By having a stable home, the children can focus on their education and futures, according to the organization.

For the Old Town Design Group team, each year’s trip is a reminder that design and purpose can go hand in hand.

Grace Care Center to reopen Christmas store news@youarecurrent.com The Grace Care Center in Noblesville, which helps people in need by providing a food pantry, thrift store and support services, is preparing to open its annual Choice Christmas Store in December.

The store offers local families the opportunity to select gifts for their children at no cost in a welcoming environment. Shopping reservations will open Dec. 1.

Volunteers with the Grace Care Center are calling on the broader community to help stock the shelves, fund gifts and volunteer, ensuring that every parent who walks through the doors can choose presents that fit their family.

Unlike traditional toy drives, families don’t receive prebagged gifts. Parents

can look through shelves of toys, clothing and household items to choose what fits their family best.

According to officials with the Grace Care Center, the model preserves dignity, strengthens family connection and turns generosity into a personal and joyful experience.

Last year, the store provided more than 10,000 gifts to more than 1,000 families. This year’s goal is to fully fund and stock the store.

The community can get involved by selecting specific items to “place on the shelves” for parents to choose at gracechurch.us/christmasstore. Community members also can choose the “shop for me” option online to have volunteers purchase the most needed items.

The store, at 5504 E. 146th St., will be open from 1 to 5 p.m. Dec. 21-22.

Neurosurgical practice set to expand

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine, a neurosurgical practice that specializes in brain and spine care, is expanding.

The private practice, which has locations in Noblesville, Carmel and surrounding areas, will soon open a clinic with providers from several specialties in one space on the border of Fishers and Noblesville.

Dr. Vince Alentado, a neurosurgeon specializing in complex spinal disorders at Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine in Noblesville, said the Noblesville office is an example of the growth that is happening.

“When we started three years ago, across the street from us was basically farmland,” Alentado said. “Now, there’s a Costco and Chick-fil-A and they’re building a huge Kroger next door. Noblesville is really exploding. I think that the area has been awesome, and a lot of people are drawn to it for good reason.”

Currently, the practice is renting a medical office building. Alentado said the expansion will happen over the next few years.

“Right now, we’re doing injections at a hospital over in Fishers, as well as in our Carmel office, but (the new location) will allow us to do all

of our injections and also all of our X-rays in the office to streamline the entire patient care process so that people aren’t having to go into different places to get different things done. That’s going to be more convenient,” Alentado said.

Alentado said it is important to have specialized care available locally. Goodman Campbell provides services at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital, Franciscan Health Indianapolis and Indiana Spine Hospital. The new clinic will widen the number of patients that can be seen in the Hamilton County area. It also will allow the practice to grow opportunities for medical students, such as its summer internship program.

“We actually employ our students and give them funding,” Alentado said. “They do clinical rotations, where they can rotate in the clinics and in the operating room with all of our staff, and then also get their feet wet with research.

It’s been really productive, and it’s really gotten a lot of students interested in neurosurgery and spine surgery that probably didn’t have the availability to see this stuff before. From a Goodman Campbell’s perspective, we like having the students there, and it kind of energizes us every summer to see people that are so excited and enthusiastic about this stuff.”

Carmel dancer ready for second stint as IBC’s Sugar Plum Fairy

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Emily Geon is eager for her second turn as the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s presentation of “The Nutcracker.”

“I learned that it’s really important to have fun while you are doing it,” said Geon, a Carmel resident who is a high school junior who takes online classes.

“I think I was kind of stressed going into the technique part of it last year.

This year, I’m trying to focus more on the facial expressions and just having fun making the artistry.”

IBC’s production of “The Nutcracker” is set for Nov. 29-30 at the Payne & Mencias Palladium at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Performances are 2 and 7 p.m.

Nov. 29 and 1 and 6 p.m. Nov. 30.

Geon plays the Sugar Plum role in the afternoon shows. Clara Crane, a Westfield High School junior, plays Sugar Plum in the evening shows. She played Sugar Plum in a special performance in Wabash last year.

“This has been my dream role and I’m excited to do it with my IBC family and just to get to perform at the Palladium,” Crane said.

Crane, who is in her 14th year as an IBC dancer, said she is trying to improve on last year’s performance.

Nora Woloszyn of Brownsburg, a fifth-grader, plays Masha.

“I like that we get to dance with the Nutcracker and I like all my costumes and fun ballet moves,” she said.

Meredith Drucker, a sixth-grader from Carmel, also has two shows as Masha.

“This is my first time dancing en pointe,” she said. “I’m looking forward to dancing with the Nutcracker and my friends.”

sic with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra,” he said. “Arabian Doll is a very fun role to play.”

Kubicek, in his first year with IBC, has performed in “The Nutcracker” with other dance organizations.

“I like that it’s a full production. I haven’t done that for five or six years,” he said.

Charli Klink, a Westfield resident and online high school freshman, performs as the Spanish lead. She said the most challenging part is learning all the parts of the role and coordination.

She is the Spanish lead in the afternoon shows. She also plays the Snow Waltz, Arabian and Young Ladies.

Starla Karlsson, a Carmel resident who moved to the U.S. from Sweden when she was 4 years old, has been with IBC for eight years. The online

high school junior is playing the Spanish role for the third time, “I’ve been getting more comfortable with it every year,” Karlsson said. “I’ve been working on connecting with the audience.

Alyona Yakovleva, IBC’s founding artistic director, is eager to see how the dancers perform.

“Every year, each performance is different because of the cast, the new Mashas, new Sugar Plums,” she said.

“With the Carmel Symphony, it’s a completely beautiful experience for the entire community. I think we all try to polish and elevate ‘Nutcracker’ every year to a higher level.”

Professional ballet dancer Luis Ocaranza is the guest artist.

Tuttle concert set for Vogue

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Molly Tuttle’s new album, “So Long Little Miss Sunshine,” is a departure from her bluegrass music.

Tuttle, who said she tries to be a chameleon with her music, will perform on “The Highway Knows Tour” at 7:30 p.m.

Nov. 20 at The Vogue in Indianapolis.

“This is my fifth album, so I feel like I’m at the place where I have quite a bit of material for the live shows, which is fun,” Tuttle said. “These shows have been really dynamic. Going on this musical journey that spans from playing bluegrass music around one mic to rocking out a little bit on some of the newer stuff off the new record, which expands into rock, Americana and country a little more.”

Tuttle, who plays guitar, toured with Golden Highway for three years. She said they decided to take a break while she released a solo record.

“So, it’s a new band lineup and new instrumentation,” she said. “We’re still playing a lot of the Golden Highway material. Some of it we revamped with

different instruments.”

Tuttle and Golden Highway won Grammy Awards for the albums “Crooked Tree” in 2022 and “City of Gold” in 2023. “So Long Little Miss Sunshine” has been nominated for a 2026 Grammy for Best Americana Album.

Her song, “That’s Gonna Leave A Mark,” is nominated for Best Americana Performance.

Tuttle, 32, has been bald since age 3 because of an autoimmune condition, alopecia areata. One song on the new album is “Old Me, New Wig.” For more, visit thevogue.com.
