Chief's celebrates first anniversary

Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Chief's owner Steve Geabes and manager Indy New will welcome the public to the restaurant's first anniversary celebration on Saturday.

For the past year, Chief's restaurant has been "keeping Greencastle funky."

To celebrate the restaurant's first anniversary, owner Steve Geabes and manager Indy New are planning a street fair, which will take place Saturday and cap off a week of specials at the restaurant.

The street fair will feature local artists and some of the vendors from the farmer's market. Attendees will find jewelry, a henna artist, tie-dye items, representatives from Bright Futures and barbecue on the smoker at the street fair.

Live music will begin at 2 p.m. with singer/songwriter Mary Michael, who also plays the acoustic guitar and will give the crowd a various music selection. The alternative country and rock band Saturday Shoes will play at 3 p.m., followed by Randy Albright/Sandy Williams Experience performing Hendrix. At 5 p.m., Anon & the Late Show will take the stage.

In addition, the Putnam County Duct Tape Competition will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is open to the public.

The idea behind the event is to be a model for other Greencastle businesses and the city, Geabes said. It is not just a one-year anniversary celebration; it is a way of bringing the community together.

"It is going to be a fun day," said New, who encouraged people to bring chairs, sit and stay a while.

The fair will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the restaurant will be open with full menu available. Chief's regular business hours are Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., for lunch; Monday through Saturday from 4 to 9 p.m. for dinner and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The restaurant is located at 5 E. Franklin St, right off the historical courthouse square in downtown Greencastle.
