Auction Item 2010: Indianapolis City Market Tour

Indianapolis City Market Tour

Go underground! Enjoy a private tour of the architecturally storied Indianapolis City Market Catacombs! The Catacombs served as the basement area of the former Tomlinson Hall that sat at the northeast corner of Delaware and Market Streets. Though Tomlinson Hall tragically burned in 1958, it served as the "Market Square Arena" of its time, hosting political rallies, large city events and even global figures Teddy Roosevelt and Democratic Presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan.

Today, the Catacombs are rarely used, but unique art events, haunted houses and dance performances have been part of its recent past.

Expires: 2/16/2011; Tour must commence by 5:00pm.

Marsh Fresh IDEAS for Education Program

Earn to Learn!

MARSH FRESH IDEAS FOR EDUCATION IS BACK!

Marsh Supermarkets is proud to once again provide a program to earn FREE educational, technological and extracurricular equipment for St. Richard's School.

Parents, friends and general St. Richard's School supporters can sign-up using their Fresh IDEA Card and our school ID#: 28695. Then, simply scan your card each time you shop at your local Marsh store. Your purchases will automatically accumulate points for St. Richard's to use toward much needed items that tight budgets cannot provide. All cards registered in last year's program have already been entered for the 2009-2010 school year program.

In the 2008-2009 school year St. Richard's accumulated over 42,937 points thanks to the 74 shoppers that had signed up! With these points we were able to order a brand new Kodak Easy Share Camera and some board games for the Library.

Thanks again to all who currently participate and we hope if you haven't already registered you will do so soon!
