Robert Shull will be handing out his peanut brittle at the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market May 26 with joke-telling “Big Daddy Bob.” Shull will be collecting donations as a fundraiser for Middle Way House. “Daddy Bob” was constructed by Shull with the help of Ivy Tech Community College students. Patty Cole created the oversized clothing. Keep an eye (or an ear) out for “Daddy Bob!”
