(765) 661-5380
We came across a new yummy snack at the Greentown Community Holiday Market last weekend at the Howard County Fairgrounds. Rexie’s Tasty Chips was set up as a vendor offering samples of many delicious flavors of chips made vegan friendly with potatoes, wheat, and corn then fried in oil. You can purchase these chips at Dr. Ashburn’s Pepper Emporium at 3702 S. Lafountain St. Suite C, Kokomo, or if you are local, Rex himself will deliver. He’s been making the chips for about five years and offers them in the following flavors: Mild BBQ, Hot BBQ, Chili Cheese, Smokey Bacon, Ranch, Cinnamon Sugar, Dill Pickle, Garlic Parmesan, Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper. The whole family enjoyed snacking on these chips and we hope you’ll give them a try too! Check out his Facebook page for updates on where he’ll be set up next!

Kokomo Kids Learn
Music Together Class at Rhum Academy of Music
500 W. Superior St., Kokomo, IN 46901
(765) 236-0567
Studies have shown that exposing your children to music at an early age can increase language and brain development. It’s even more valuable when these experiences with music can occur alongside a trusted caregiver. This NEW music class is available to children ages birth to four years old to explore music with a caregiver through singing, dancing, listening and playing with instruments. The classes are held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays starting at 10:30 a.m. for 30 minutes. Class sizes are limited and you can email rhummusic@gmail.com for registration information.
