A 33-acre urban farm, the Fishers AgriPark pays homage to Fishers’ agricultural roots, while inspiring future generations of farmers, scientists, agronomists, robotics engineers, chefs, and more.
The AgriPark features public fields and gardens, managed by Fishers Parks. In the gardens, residents have access to seasonal produce and cut flowers to take home at no charge. Along with providing you-pick opportunities for residents, an animal area gives guests the change to encounter traditional livestock and farm animals, including cows, a horse, ducks, and sheep. Open fields, a nature play area, constructed in partnership with Reynolds Farm Equipment, and a mud kitchen provide discovery and play spaces for our youngest residents. A programming barn serves as an educational space for both public and school-based programs with Hamilton Southeastern Schools. The park also will offer seasonal experiences, such as a corn maze, pumpkin patch, and other special events!
The Fishers AgriPark offers the following volunteer opportunities:

Fishers AgriPark Field Guide Volunteer,
Fishers AgriPark Farm Helper Volunteer, and
Fishers AgriPark Guest Services

Volunteer Thursday – Saturday, June 1 – September 27 in two hour shifts from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm.

Social: Punch Bowl Social
2024-07-13 18:30 - 21:30 | Punch Bowl Social, 120 S Meridian Street Cir, Indianapolis, 46204, United States
All are invited to the July Social at the Punch Bowl Social downtown on Saturday, July 13th at 6:30pm.
Punch Bowl Social is a concept that pairs food and cocktails with modern and retro games. The name is inspired by the Victorian social tradition of gathering around a bowl of punch. It encourages face-to-face interaction while dining and playing games, providing a unique setting for exceptional experiences. At Punch Bowl Social, you can enjoy modern and retro games while sipping your drink. Think bowling, ping pong, shuffleboard, and even karaoke.
President Michele says, “Christopher and I go there a lot. We like the dirty fries with bison. Yum. It’s a $15 appetizer and enough to share for a meal. Service on the food is really quick and one of the best things about Punch Bowl is the leather big booths or couches you can sit on and visit with others. There are two entrances. One off of the street (which is where the host stand is) and the other entrance is through Circle Center Mall. There is no waiting area or host at the mall entrance. There also is a bar area. I suggest not entering through Circle Center Mall and gathering at the other entrance for seating. There are a lot of other video games, pinball machines and Skee-Ball that require a play card which you can buy for any denomination. That’s the way they operate the machines…. The place is huge and has something for everyone. Private bowling lanes get reserved right away. They have tons of TVs, music, ping-pong, foosball, and shuffleboard. [Some activities can be pricey and] folks may want to do those, but if they don’t, there’s plenty of other stuff to do inexpensively.”
All are welcome! RSVPs are encouraged at our Meetup Event or email Chris Blair at volunteeradmin@indyambassadors.org.

About the show: Bigfoot is back and better than ever! This new, two-act expansion of Cryptid Entertainment’s cult-classic Fringe show, Bigfoot Saves America, is a campy action comedy set in the late 1970s. The evil mastermind known as The Mothman is on the rise, and it’s Bigfoot’s duty to save not only America but the entire World. With help from Theodore Roosevelt and the FBI, Bigfoot falls in love, finds his true family, and does so with gusto.
Featuring choreographed dances, 70s rock anthems, and former Communist leaders, Bigfoot Saves The World is the Summer cult classic that you’ve been waiting for!
This production contains adult language, depictions of drug use, depictions of physical violence, nudity, loud noises, and haze/smoke effects. It is recommended for audiences 18+

Indy Shakes: Riverside July 18th thru 27th
2024-07-18 19:00 - 22:00, 2024-07-19 19:00 - 22:00, 2024-07-20 19:00 - 22:00, 2024-07-25 19:00 - 22:00 | Riverside Park, 2420 Riverside E Dr, Indianapolis, 46202, United States
Riverside is a play by ML Roberts, developed in partnership with The New Harmony Project. Inspired by the desire to honor the history of the area, and the generous welcoming collaborative spirit of so many neighborhood residents, we asked ML (who played Hamlet in our first production in Riverside Park) to research the history and conduct interviews with area residents, chief among them, Phyllis Hackett.
The resulting play, Riverside, developed in partnership with the New Harmony Project and directed by Rudi Goblen, tells part of the story of Black Indianapolis from the perspective of a single family line in 3 different decades, the 1820’s the 1920’s and the 1960’s. We hope you’ll join us for this performance-meets-community event!
