INDIANAPOLIS The galaxy is not so far, far away: State Street and Forest Avenue in Greenfield.
That’s where you’ll find Grogu, a Baby Yoda from the Mandalorian Star Wars TV series, made from snow. The pea green-skinned alien in a brown robe is the latest creation of snow artist Rick Horton.
The five foot tall snow sculpture stands on a snow pedestal in Horton’s front yard.

Mike Shannon’s 50th season calling radio broadcasts for the St. Louis Cardinals will apparently be his last.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Dan Caesar reports that Shannon, 81, will close out his broadcasting career with the 2021 season. Beginning in 1972, the longtime announcer began calling games on KMOX with legendary play-by-play man Jack Buck following a nine-year playing career with the Cardinals.
In those nine seasons, Shannon mostly played third base and right field, compiling a .255 average and .698 OPS with 116 doubles, 68 home runs, and 367 RBI. He played on two World Series championship teams in 1964 and 1967. His playing career was cut short by a kidney disease, glomerulonephritis.
