Every year, Mardi Gras in Pioneer Square has become less and less of an event.

And, eating with the harvest creates a kind of year-round square meal. Eating locally also creates a link between people and food. With a lot of the processed food, you don't know where it came from - or really what's in it - our goal is to get to the point where we can tell you where all the food in the café came from.

Brook Lambert (of Johnston Memorial Hospital) and Pioneer Chevrolet did a really good job with this event. I wasn't the biggest part of it. It was just something that I wanted to do for Andrew and his family. Andrew was a great friend.

I very easily could have popped it up, but I was able to square it up and we get out of here with another win.

Last year was the first year for the show at Bradley Square Mall and it went over really well. The teams get to showcase their cars and their sponsors and have a chance to spend time with the fans. Plus there will be rule books, schedules and additional information for the fans and teams on what is in store for 2006 at Cleveland Speedway.

It's our signature event this year and what a great way to end the meet.
