February Newsletter

Here’s to celebrating all the love in your life!

There is no one consistent story about the origin of Valentine’s Day, but the two most popular explanations for the holiday are tied to the early Romans.

Some believe it originated from a Roman festival call Lupercalia, which took place in the middle of February. As the official start of springtime, it’s believed as part of the celebration, boys drew the names of girls from a box.

Another theory ties the “day of love” to Emperor Claudius II, saying he executed two men—both named Valentine— on February 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. The Catholic Church honored their martyrdom by celebrating St. Valentine’s Day.

No matter which story you believe or how you choose to celebrate the day, we hope it’s a sweet one!

Schimpff’s Confectionery

Speaking of sweet, we are proud to spotlight one of our sweetest local businesses, Schimpff’s Confectionery in Jeffersonville, IN. The Schimpff family has been making candy in the Kentuckiana area since the 1850s. The business began on Preston Street in Louisville, but in 1891 a storefront was opened at 347 Spring Street in Jeffersonville. The rent was $25 a month! This successful enterprise has been going strong ever since. Today Schimpff’s is a major tourist attraction, with the addition of a candy demonstration area and a candy museum, featuring thousands of pieces of American candy memorabilia.
