Ever since the beginning, Indy Magazine has been committed to bring the very best of the city of Indianapolis to the readers in Indianapolis. Whether it is our editorial content or one of our advertisers, we offer the very best of Indianapolis to our readers. We do things that no other publications in the area do, for example:

Our advertising to content ratio is 40% advertising to 60% content. This is the opposite of any other publication in the area, and allows your ad to stand out, instead of getting lost in the shuffle.

Our unique distribution allows us to reach the people who you, as an advertiser, want to reach.

We are the only city magazine that is distributed throughout hotels in Indianapolis, allowing you to not only reach residents of Indianapolis, but visitors as well.

We do not flood our publication with ads from the same industry. You can rest assured that your ad will not be back to back with your competitor.

The quality of our publication is second to none. This assures that it will be picked up, read, and passed along.

We understand that any business, large or small, should have the opportunity to advertise, and because of our rates, you can advertise without breaking the bank.

We guarantee that there will never be anything offensive in Indy Magazine.

We understand that advertising is an investment, and we will not rest until we are assured that your return on that investment is realized. Give us a call, and let us show you what we can do for you and your business. I guarantee you that we will exceed your expectations.

Sincerely,

Alan Applebaum Editor in Chief Indy Magazine

Indiana might not be known nationally for its amusement parks, like Florida or California, but right in our back yard, we have some of the best places to go on summer vacation. With summer right around the corner, Indy Magazine has decided to give you a few options on your summer destinations, right here in Indiana, that won’t break the bank.

Holiday World

The history of the nation’s first theme park is the story of a family which has, for three generations, dedicated itself to providing millions of guests with good, old-fashioned family fun.

Evansville, Ind., industrialist Louis J. Koch created the world’s first theme park as a retirement project. He was troubled that the tiny hamlet of Santa Claus, Ind., was visited by children who were disappointed when they discovered Santa was not there. With nine children of his own, Koch loved children, holidays and celebrations.

Santa Claus Land opened August 3, 1946; the theme park included a toy shop, toy displays, a restaurant, themed children’s rides, and, of course, Santa. When Koch’s son Bill returned from World War II, he was curious to see his father’s project. After overcoming doubts about the park’s viability, Bill soon became the head of Santa Claus Land. In 1960, Bill married “Santa’s daughter,” Patricia Yellig; he remained active in the family business until his death in 2001. Bill and Pat had five children; the eldest, Will, is the park’s president and CEO.

Over the decades, Santa Claus Land flourished. Children from across the country came to sit on the real Santa’s knee and whisper their Christmas wishes. Guests included Ronald Reagan, who stopped by in 1955.

As the park grew, the Koch family knew Christmas was not the only theming possibility for the park. In 1984, Santa Claus Land expanded to also include the Halloween and 4th of July sections, and the park’s name was changed to Holiday World.

In 1993, Splashin’ Safari Water Park was added; it now includes 25 acres and features two wave pools, two action rivers, family raft rides, numerous water slides, plus several interactive family-water play complexes. The park also offers free sunscreen and free use of inner tubes.

Holiday World introduced The Raven wooden roller coaster in 1995; it has been voted one of the world’s top-ten wooden coasters each year since it opened. The Legend wooden roller coaster, added in 2000, has also been repeatedly voted a top wooden coaster. In 2000, Holiday World became the first park in the world to provide free, unlimited soft drinks.

In 2004, the highly-coveted international Applause Award was presented to Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari, the smallest park to ever receive the award, which honors “foresight, originality and creativity, plus sound business

development and profitability.”

In 2006, the park celebrated its 60th Anniversary Season with the addition of a new holiday. The Thanksgiving section included a recording-breaking new wooden coaster, The Voyage, which helped catapult the park’s seasonal attendance past the one-million mark for the first time ever. In 2007 and ’08 the readers of Amusement Today voted Voyage the #1

Wooden Coaster in the World; the parks, which now cover 120 acres, were also named the World’s Friendliest for the 11th year in a row and the World’s Cleanest for the ninth straight year.

500 Festival Mini-Marathon

INDY 500 & FESTIVAL

For the first time ever there was a tie. Kenyans La-mech Mokono and Valentine Orare were neck-in-neck at the finish of the 13.1-mile race – so neck-in-neck that race officials had to review the videotape and still photographs be-fore determining a clear-cut winner.

American Family Insurance 500 Festival Community Day

The 2008 Mini-Marathon

35,000 runners and walkers gathered in downtown Indianapolis for the 31st annual

OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon. The conditions were ideal and crowds were

filled with spectators, celebrities, and even Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard waving the

start flag. For the first time ever there was a tie. Kenyans Lamech Mokono and Valentine

Orare were neck-in-neck at the finish of the 13.1-mile race – so neck-in-neck that race

officials had to review the videotape and still photographs before determining a clear-

cut winner. It was decided that both men were declared winners and would each get a

full first-place prize purse of $3,500. The pair ran the course in 1:02.53., while Reuben

Chebii took third. Janet Cherobon came in first in the women’s division coming in

at 1:14.53 and Tony Iniguez became a three-time champ in the wheelchair division,

finishing in just over 47 minutes in blistering the rest of the field.

Even thought there was officially no track

activity, the American Family Insurance Day

had plenty going on at the IMS. Between the

games for the kids, the driver autograph ses-

sions, the local media competing to change

two tires on a mock Indy car, and the row of

vintage race cars, the track was busting with

entertainment. On the actual race track, you

could take the family car on a lap around

the 2.5 mile super highway. Family’s lined

up to receive posters, and get autographs

of their favorite drivers and could also get

free cholesterol screening sponsored by

Eli Lilly.

Miller Light

Carb DayThousands of race fans usually crowd the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Carbu-

retion Day, and despite the weather, this year was no different. There were no cars

racing on the track until late in the day, and the Freedom 100 race was postponed

until Saturday, but that didn’t stop the festivities. Companies such as F.E. Harding

Asphalt Companies throw parties for their customer appreciation day. This year’s

featured band was the Stone Temple Pilots who started to rock the track at 3:30.

CUSTOM PACKAGES |One of the many things that Indy Magazine is known for, is our ability to customize any advertising campaign for any budget.

Business Spotlight You receive a 3 page article under the heading Business Spotlight and 2 months of Full Page advertisements in the 2 consecutive months after your article.You will be the only Business Spotlight article in that issue of Indy Magazine

Restaurant Spotlight You receive a 2 page article in the City Guide section of Indy Magazine and 2 ½ page advertisements in the 2 consecutive months after your article.

Indy’s Hot Spot (reserved for bars)You receive a 2 page article in the City Guide section of Indy Magazine and 2 ½ page advertisements in the 2 consecutive months after your article.

We also offer packages that allow you to get your name out to our readers through an article and consecutive months of advertising. We have found that an article about your business works wonders, because it allows you to go in-depth with our readers more than a print ad would allow. Package examples‣

This month’s hot spot is actually separated into 3 locations. Peppers has been a Broad Ripple institution for many years,

but they have 2 other locations throughout Indianapolis. Owned by the father/son team of George and Micheal Stancombe, Peppers had developed is reputation throughout the years as the hottest places in town. George and Micheal are not only a team when it comes to Peppers, but they are also world champion offshore boat racers.

Broad Ripple:Amidst the many other bars in Broad Ripple sits Peppers. This two level club usually starts hopping around 10pm. The upstairs has a rustic feel with a large center bar and a stage where you can usually hear some of Indy’s finest local talent. Downstairs has more of a night club feel. The downstairs has pool tables, couches, a VIP area, and video screens . A DJ usually spins the music until 3am. The drinks are reasonable, and it is the place to be in Broad Ripple. Peppers is located at 6283 College Ave.

Greenwood:Peppers 2 is the hot spot to be in Greenwood. This large, open bar is decorated in race banners and neon signs. This popular party place hosts live bands, and there are plenty of big screens to watch all the sports action. Peppers 2 is located at 299 S State Road 135 in Greenwood.

East SideThe newest addition to the Peppers clubs is Peppers Brew Garden. Different from the other Peppers locations, Peppers Brew Garden is not only a popular night time hot spot, but a fantastic eatery. Some might consider the cuisine as pub food, but you cannot find a better, or larger tenderloin sandwich anywhere in town. Not only can you get fantastic food, but there is not a lack of entertainment. Whether sports is your thing, or a round of digital golf on Golden Tee, you will find all the excitement at Peppers Brew Garden. Peppers Brew Garden is located at 9105 E. 56 Street.

All the Peppers locations throughout the city are well known as the place to be in Indianapolis. No matter what side of town you are on, make sure you check out Peppers and there is no doubt that you will have the time of your life. You can visit Peppers on the web at www.pepperslive.com

Stone Creek Dining Company

Restaurant Review

breathtaking

Located in Indy’s newest mall, Hamilton Town Center, is Stone Creek Dining Company. This location is the 5th Stone Creek and is owned and operated locally by Cunningham Restaurant Group. Mike Cunningham, the managing partner, founded Cunningham Restaurant Group 11 years ago. His first endeavor was Boulder Creek Dining Company in Brownsburg. Following that he also opened Charbono’s in Avon, Café 251 in Indianapolis and now five Stone Creek Dining Companies.

Cunningham wanted to blend the casual style and the mountain lodge décor of Boulder Creek with the elegance of the Tuscan style of Charbono’s. He has again succeeded. As soon as you walk in the door, you are greeted with a smile. The dining room is absolutely breathtaking. Between the leather chairs and the large fabric dividers hanging from the ceiling, you don’t feel like you are in a upscale casual dining establishment.

The food is just as amazing as the atmosphere. You can have a variety of salads, seafood dishes, pastas, steaks, chops

or chicken. Whatever you order, you will enjoy. Stone Creek is proud of the freshness of their ingredients as they should be because everything is made in house. One thing though, you have got to order their award winning Cranberry-Golden Raisin Bread Pudding.

The Noblesville location opened it’s doors on August 7th. “Noblesville is a thriving area with tremendous growth and I am excited to be a part of it.” said Mike Cunningham. “This is our eighth restaurant in Indiana and is the best yet. Shoppers will now be able to enjoy steaks, pasta, and fresh seafood in a great atmosphere.”

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner daily. There is also a beautiful upstairs overlooking the streets of Hamilton Town Center that is available for special occasions or meetings. Monday’s are half price bottles of select wines, and Wednesday’s are half price Martini’s. The restaurant also provides off-premise catering. For more information on Stone Creek Dining Company or all of Cunningham’s restaurants, please visit www.stonecreekdining.com

Indy’s hot spot

In the past few issues, we have spotlighted many local businesses ranging from a law firm, to a vehicle accessory dealer. This month we have chosen to highlight a Women Owned Small Business, Creative Solutions Consulting Inc (CSCI), who specializes in Information Technology Consulting. CSCI, is an established and well-respected informa-tion technology company that is recognized in delivering high-quality information system solutions to government and commercial clients—on schedule and within budget.

Michele Meyer is the owner and founder CSCI which started in 2002. She has made CSCI one of the fastest growing companies in the Midwest, doubling her business for 4 consecutive years and now having over 80 associates. During our high energy interview with Michele she shared her secrets to success, her challenges as a small business and her Vi-sion for the future.

CSCI got its start within the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS). CSCI’s team

members support over twenty DoD projects and have expanded to not only sup-port DFAS but also the newly formed Business Transformation Agency (BTA).

Within the DoD, Michele had the oppor-tunity to develop her companies expertise in enterprise solu-tions including Business Intel-ligence (BI), data warehouse (DW), web and database solu-

tions. CSCI is experienced in large and complex data warehouse, data mart, business intelligence and enterprise reporting projects. Their process-oriented environment and their extreme flexibility in Rapid Application De-velopment allows CSCI to deliver high quality services and offer significant lower costs and fast turnaround time for deliverables.

As more opportunities became available, she expanded her companies skills to become experts in assessment, development, and maintenance services to evolve systems into true enterprise-class information repositories, capable of delivering accurate and consoli-dated information to users .

“People are the key to any company’s suc-cess, but I have focused on a couple of key elements to recruit, keep and develop associ-ates.”

1. Recruit the right person for the job, where they can have a great career match, not just a 12 month contract. You need to think of profit last – not first.

2. As you grow bigger, establish key Team Leaders that really care about the associates and help establish a personal relationship for the associate with your company. This opens the door to better feedback and improve-ments for the company and associate. This also helps the associates maintain the small company feel that they enjoy.

“We have spent a lot of time planning our infrastructure for growth and the challenges growth can create.”

Establishing the right team leaders early is the first step in the continued growth for a company. You can not do everything yourself and continue to grow. It will take several years to develop your team leaders to reflect a consistent company vision, but the Clients and Associates will notice the results: High Morale, better communication, improved team work and better bottom line results for the Client – which in turn will provide more opportunities in the future.

“Having the right support Staff for your As-sociates and Clients.”

As someone who researches, speaks, and writes about business - three #1 Amazon business bestselling books so far - the future of what people REALLY want is vital to me, as it obviously is to you.It seems that every study I’m encountering says that your potential customers have two important points in common - they want local information, and they want free information.That’s a part of why I am a strong advocate of Indy Magazine. It connects me with local events, people, and places in a colorful and dynamic manner.The stories of “Indy’s Finest” introduce me to movers and shakers - some of whom I wasn’t even aware! I’ve learned interesting insights about existing businesses, and discovered new ones within their pages. And, our family has dined and shopped at places that they have recommended...as well as attended their launch parties and made a few new friends!And, let’s face it, it’s hard to beat the fact that so much information and fun is FREE! We pick up the magazine every month - and, it’s part of the reason we make certain to always get to one of our favorite restaurants, because we know we can pick up Indy Magazine at the front door!When you add the distribution to our city’s hotels to the mix, Indy Magazine is a primary method to reach both long-time residents like myself - AND the ever-growing number of business travelers and convention attendees - with the message you want customers and prospects to hear.From my perspective, it’s pretty easy to understand - you simply cannot beat the value of Indy Magazine for providing what your customers REALLY want in today’s marketplace.
