Organizers of The Taste of Bloomington say it was a difficult decision. For the fourth year in a row, the popular event has been cancelled. Several factors led to this year’s cancellation including an increase in supply costs, labor shortages and continued recovery efforts from the pandemic.

The annual event has served as a popular fundraiser for several local non-profits.

The Indiana Better Business Bureau is reminding Hoosiers to avoid typos when we’re searching the web. The Bureau says too many typos can make you a victim of the “fat fingers” scam. When users accidentally put the wrong address in the search bar, they could be taken to a fake website. Scammers can use these websites to steal personal information and sell worthless products. The better business bureau says there are ways we can protect ourselves. They suggest double checking the U-R-L to make sure everything is entered correctly. If you do get to the wrong website, just click out of it as soon as possible.
