There are certain days in a lifetime that people simply don't forget. For generations before ours, it was Pearl Harbor. For others, it was the assassination of President John F. Kennedy or the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. For so many of us, it was Sept. 11, 2001. Ask ...
To all friends and family supporting the Taptich family, The outpouring of support as we grieve has been humbling. Our community, family and friends, near and far have been unwavering in their love and care for Team Taptich.

If the people who celebrated the first Goose Day could see what we are doing with it now, we have to wonder what they would think. There are goose-themed foods, goose shirts, goose ornaments, a road rally, a 5K and hundreds of drones forming geese in the sky. This year, we're adding a “Red, White & Goose” parade, Goose Washington, penny presses and, because apparently the geese we already have weren't enough, an enormous goose on East Market Street. Somewhere along the way, Goose Day got a little weird. We think that's a good thing. Because after more than 200 years, Goose Day ...
