===BioTown, USA===
[[Image:BioTown USA.png|left|150px]]
In 2005, the Indiana State Department of Agriculture began a program to make Reynolds an energy self-sufficient community, able to subsist almost entirely on locally produced alternative energy. Called "BioTown, USA", the pilot project involved converting local vehicles to run on [[ethanol]] and [[biodiesel]] fuels and converting animal waste into electricity and natural gas.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehj.com/main.asp?SectionID=9&SubSectionID=32&ArticleID=12008|author=Lietz, Abby|title=BioTown boom!|publisher=Herald Journal|date=2005-09-September 14, 2005|accessdate=2008-08-August 16, 2008}}</ref>
 
Reynolds was selected to become BioTown, USA because of its size, its easy accessibility by road and by rail, and its proximity to both large-scale livestock farms and to [[Purdue University]] (Purdue is located in West Lafayette, Indiana). This process has been slow but Reynolds still holds the title.

===Reynolds Town Festival===
<references />▼
 
A tradition that started 4 years in September, now every year the town of Reynolds rolls out the red carpet to fun. Activities at the festival include a parade, live music, car show, multiple vendors from the surrounding community, and the softball classic. During the time the streets of Reynolds are shut to down cars and opened up for pedestrians and 4-wheelers.
The night is always capped off by a beautiful fireworks display.
