Danville's Royal Theater is exactly what you'd expect as a historic, single-screen theater nestled…read moreintimately directly on Danville, Indiana's town square. With ticket prices well under usual chain prices, including first-run such as the current Lilo & Stitch, Royal Theater offers moviegoers a classic movie experience with the benefit of also being able to book both classics, first-run, and a family film series. Royal Theater was first built in 1914 and was Danville's first movie theater. It was bought in 1926 by Thomas Barrett. Barrett razed two buildings to the side of the theater and expanded the "photoplay parlor" in a Tudor Revival style. Barrett himself was from England and this definitely made sense. It re-opened in 1927 with a 600-seat capacity. It also had a pipe organ, lighted marquee, and stage. The Royal today maintains its 1920s appearance. It's a theater that really leans into its nostalgia and I personally smile every time I pass by it. The Royal hosts a free family film festival during the Summer. It's on Wednesdays at 10am. This year's schedule includes: June 4th ~ Kung Fu Panda 4 June 11th ~ IF June 18th The Garfield Movie June 25th ~ Despicable Me 4 July 2nd ~ Harold and The Purple Crayon July 9th ~ The Wild Robot July 16th ~ Hitpig July 23rd ~ Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Is accessibility perfect here? Of course not. This is a historic movie theater, though I've found it better than expected. While some buildings on the town square are definitely not accessible (my guess is 1/2 the stores on Danville's town square have a step into them), several key ones are including the Royal. This is still a single-screen theater. Tickets and concessions are affordable. The theater can be rented (my understanding is the owner is pretty selective, though I've not experienced this side of the theater). While Avon has chain moviegoing experiences, and they're fine, for true cineastes this is practically a must-attend theater. They typically do an evening screening (definitely not an all-day theater). They do occasionally host concerts and events, as well. I should also note that parking around the square is free with a two-hour time limit (five hours for disabled placard parking spots). If you go to the Royal, dial down the expectations and have fun. These are friendly people with a good (not great) screen and a casual approach that is perfect for this small town indie theater. The theater itself is attractive, well-kept, and prices are great. This may not be quite a destination spot, however, Danville is for sure worth a daytrip. The Mayberry Cafe (think Andy Griffith Show-themed) is within walking distance, Danville Dips is around the corner, the Authors' Patch Bookstore is also around the corner, and this small town's charm is abundant.

The people are friendly and efficient and it's just a nice place to go watch a show. It's a great…read moreplace to take family without having to go far and spend a lot of money.

The haunted hay ride was actually super fun and surprised us by having 2 dance number scenes. The weather was divine and it was so nice to roll through all of the fun scenes they have set up with the breeze going. Some of the scenes felt like we went through them too quickly to get to see everything, but others you could really see all of the detail they put into it. The slaughter barn was very quick to get through- even when haunted houses aren't scary I like when they are big and you get to walk around in the spooky rooms they have set up. The haunted hay ride was the best part of the night by far. One thing none of us liked was that one of the characters that wander around to entertain guests who waiting in line, buying concessions, etc kept very quickly circling around everyone while pulling a wagon that had a duck caged in it. It couldn't even sit or get comfortable because it was constantly bracing for turns and bumps. A fake duck glued to the cage or no duck at all would have sufficed. Not sure why live animals need to be toted around as props. We had purchased our tickets online during pre-sale, so it was a 2-for-1 deal. We definitely wouldn't come back if we had to pay full price, but I do think my brother with autism would like this, so we may bring him here next year.

While in line there were about 4 characters that would walk through scaring people which kept it interesting while waiting. The actors did really well throughout. After an hour wait we got in the in hayride which lasted about 15-20 min. They take you out far away so you don't see or hear anything. They have about 4 of these tractors so the line moves fast. They had some similar aspects from other hayrides and some unique scenes I had never seen before. People were flying around on ziplines which was really cool. Highly recommend. Didn't do the slaughter barn because it honestly didn't look that appealing. The line was way longer for the hayride and $2 more. I could tell the attraction was the hayride here. They charge $2 if you use card so I suggest paying in cash. They have areas with bonfires to enjoy. They have a consession stand with snacks and merch to purchase. Really nice huge farm. Great haunt!

The Strawberry Festival has been going strong since 1976, and this year was no exception. I make…read morethe drive back to Crawfordsville every year if I can to the grounds of the Lane Place for the festivities, and this year did not disappoint. Walking through the booths of crafts, shirts, artwork, incense and candles, I was pleased to see most of the vendors were local to Montgomery County. I also was pleased to see so many artistic creations that were local, like the colored pencil drawings of the Lew Wallace Study and the Elston Home. I think festivals such as this should be about the local community, and so many bigger ones have so many out of town vendors that it loses the community vibe. This isn't the case here. The REAL reason I went was the food, which I think is secretly the real reason any of us attend in the first place. I look forward to the Strawberry Shortcake every year, and I walk around until I find the booth run by a church with the oldest women working Why? Because I know it'll be the BEST Strawberry Shortcake I'll eat all year. Was I right? Uh.. yes. It was awesome. I like that the Strawberry Festival is sectioned out into four areas: Booths, Food, Entertainment and Kids area. This helps keep the flow of traffic through the place moving, and keeps the kids (for the most part) out of the areas I want to visit. One thing worth mentioning: the larger festivals set a standard price for items, such as water and cans of soda. This isn't the case here. I saw water for 1 ticket at one booth and 2 tickets at the one right next to it. Same size and brand, but double the price. Decide what you want and shop around for the best deal.

About 10 years ago I could see the home made craft business was going down hill, so I got out of craft shows. This year and previous years we went this festival, I couldn't' believe how it has turned into a flea market show. Very few crafters. A lot of items from Mexico. The prices of the food were very expensive. $5.00 for a dish (1 scoop) of ice cream, strawberries, and a very, very small piece of cake with no favor. This place was always our favorite place to go to end the day at the festival. We wont be back. Very disappointing day.

I attended my first Covered Bridge Festival yesterday. I have to admit that I was a bit overwhelmed…read moreby the traffic and vendors. We attempted to drive early into the heart of the festival, Rockville. The traffic was crazy. We were able to park long enough to get a festival brochure to learn the routes to see the bridges. We also explored a couple of art vendor booths around the courthouse. We were able to see four bridges along two of the routes, though asking for help at one point. The traffic was heavy along the narrow roads. People stopping to the see the bridges were friendly. The bridges were amazing and picturesque in the beautiful weather. As we wound our way to Bridgeton, we found our selves in an immense parking lot surround by circus tents. The scene and crowd of people was uncomfortable. We were able to leave on a route that took us away from the bridges. We had intended to have a nice lunch at a local restaurant in Park County, but did not find any restaurants along the two partial routes that we travelled. We did find a nice restaurant in Putnam County that was serving lunch. I hope to return to Parke County after the festival to see the bridges and experience some of the local restaurants.

I love that they have a festival to celebrate these pieces of history. The county is made up of small towns with tight roads, and parking isn't in abundance. So when 2 million people show up, you're going to feel it. Be prepared to walk. I didn't visit any bridges or see any sites. I was just there for fair food, artisan crafts, and my sister. It's nostalgic for me. I love an Indiana fair in the fall. I cannot believe how many questionable food decisions I made today though. The grape milkshake was at the top of the questionable list. -I'm such a sucker for Amish stands. Elephant ears, persimmon pudding, fried bologna, Mexican corn, apple cider slushies, and that grape milkshake. Ugh. Have cash on hand. While many of the stands take plastic, not all do. So just have some cash. I was just thinking this was a one and done experience but my sister is making plans for us next yr too. I'll have to remember to skip the grape milkshake next time.

I have eaten here many times for many different occasions (receptions, banquets, office parties, etc) and the food is ALWAYS outstanding. On Sunday I attended the Nunan Foundation Award Banquet, as my daughter was a recipient last year. The buffet meal included fresh garden salad, sour cream mashed potatoes, green beans, honey chicken tenders and snickerdoodle cookies. The honey chicken tenders were the best I have ever had-hands down. Hand battered and so tender. The beans were perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. As a mashed potato lover I feel I can say these were dreamy. The cookies were so delish I had to stop my husband from eating more then three!

This included Prime Rib, Pork Chops, Groupers, Salmon and an awesome breakfast Eggs Benedict with Steak. During business hours our workday was 10 hours long and the projects were stressful however the environment, service and food of the Country Club kept us focused and the entire event successful.
