Submit a State Slogan
Topic: Hoosier Oddities
Posted: Fri, Feb 10, 2006 
The Indiana Office of Tourism Development is planning on replacing the old standby "Enjoy Indiana." The Indy Star's Andrea Neal has some comments on their plans to come up with a slogan using research and focus groups rather than voting as in other states. But she notes at the bottom of her article that the IOTD is taking suggestions for a new state slogan on their website. Although she doesn't link to the page, like we do.
If you send them a suggestion, feel free to throw it in our comments, too.
Which reminds me, what ever happened with our new city motto?

I've always thought the corn thing was a bit strange myself. I know it's in the corn belt, but outside of Indiana, the state isn't exactly known for corn production. That's Iowa, which produced 1/4 of the world's corn supply when I was a kid. Indiana may be strongly agricultural, but a large part of it's GDP is manufacturing, which isn't the case with Iowa.

I spend a lot of time standing in the middle of Indiana corn fields ... we grow a lot of it. :-)I think the State Fair has been running a promotion "There's more than Corn in Indiana". I'd vote for "Visit Mount Mitch" ... your tax dollars at work!
Six nations (USA, China, Brazil, Mexico, France, Argentina) produce 75% of the world's maize supply. The USA alone produces 39% of the total. Six states within the USA (Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana and Ohio) account for 82% of this production. Iowa leads the group with 22% of total national production (which is 8.5% of total world production, approximately the total production of Mexico, France and Argentina put together).

When I was growing up, my mom once burned down part of the cornfield behind our house.
True story.

This design is stellar! You certainly know
how to keep a reader entertained. Between your sense of humor and your videos,
I was almost moved to get started on my own blog (well, almost.
..HaHa!) Excellent work.

I am starting up a online blog directory and was wanting to know if I can submit your blog?
I'm trying to grow my directory slowly by hand so that it retains good quality. I'll make sure and put
your blog in the best category and I'll also use, "IndyScribe: Submit a State Slogan" as your anchor text. Make sure you let me know if this is alright with you by mailing me. Thank you
