GIS Day cake from Tippecanoe County, Indiana Greetings from Tippecanoe County, Indiana
We wanted to share our GIS cake with the rest of the world; not only did it taste great, but it looked great! Penny Huffman, who also works at the County, created the cake. The cake design is of the county with the township outlines as well as many of the small towns in the county. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a great tradition. We are planning on a larger scale event for next year, and hopefully more cakes too!
