Sometimes an idea just grows legs and takes off, and a Brazil mans simple idea is growing by leaps and bounds as it runs into the future.

It started out last year hoping for 20 or so old classmates to show up in town to cruise around as we did back in the day, but I think it was the town that showed up, and that is incredible.

IVY JACOBS PHOTO - The City of Brazil has been busy due to the recent winter blast. City employees worked in frigid temperatures to fix an eight-inch water line break near the 300 block of north Hoosier Street Tuesday night.
Freezing temperatures caused a break in an eight-inch city water line on Tuesday, but it was repaired without the need for a boil order.
Brazil Mayor Brian Wyndham was with the city water department crew at the water line break near the 300 block of north Hoosier Street during the repair process that took six-seven hours. The rupture, which was repaired shortly after midnight, only affected the city water customers in that area.
