A lot of great things lit up my experience, there was one thing that nicked my rating. About half of my attendance experience had been at dirt tracks. I know there is dust, dirt and mud plugs can land in your lap. From the first heat race, my friend and I enjoyed a clean race. However, for the A-main, things changed. For the entire race, dust and dirt rained on us continually like a heavy spring rain. Did they not water the track enough? What changed? Of course, track food is important. One previous review said the hamburgers sucked, another said they were "track food". Mine was track food. Lines for food were very long, but things moved. It could be better. OH! $4 beers was a treat! Exit and re-entry were a breeze. Due to the big event, parking was shall we say, interesting. We got there very early and got a great spot. This was a significant trip of me so I probably will not be back, but if I am, it will be fun again.

We came here for a Sunday night race when we were in town. We had driven by the place earlier in…read morethe weekend and I looked it up on their website, which was quite informative. There seem to be races almost every week. We arrived a few minutes late, but no worries as they were still doing the hot laps. Parking was easy in the gravel lot (PRO TIP: the closer you park to the track, the dirtier your car will be from all the dust). Paying by credit card adds a 5% fee. It was $15 per adult, but kids are free to enter. It wasn't too crowded, but general admission gets you in on the side with the sun in your eyes, so for the first hour, it was painful. But after that, it was amazing. Yes, dirt will be flying and it is loud! But it is so fascinating and we loved learning about the intricacies of the sport. I recommend sitting on the far right side so you can see the cars exiting the track. Concessions were reasonably priced and the same 5% credit card fee as the admission applies. The bathrooms are what you'd expect and the ground dirty. But they had a zamboni-like thing come around and clean the main walkway. There were fireworks afterwards that lasted longer than I thought they would.

As a volunteer at a Museum where restoration is constantly occurring, I appreciate the work that these volunteers are doing. Of course there are pieces that are not yet restored, but they are always working on them and most importantly, they are saved. Doesn't matter if they get restored in 5 or 10 or 50 years. If it wasn't for the effort of the volunteers, these pieces would be lost to history forever. THANK YOU for that!!! For our visit, the regular tour guide was away, so we had her husband take us on the tour. He had mobility issues, but soldiered through to give us the full experience. We greatly appreciate your dedication to your visitors!! HINT: The office in front is not where you check in. Drive or walk down the gravel road just before the office - that's where the Gift Shop/Entrance is.

When you drive into Peru, (be it from Indy or Chicago or...Toledo?) don't think much about where…read moreyou're going or what in the world it could look like...because inevitably...you'll think big circus tent, lions, tigers, a man roaming the perimeter on a unicycle. In reality though...a man might be roaming the perimeter...so beware. It's more haunted circus than circus museum or Hall of Fame. BUT, Wait, Wait, Wait! You're getting the wrong idea...still go! Yes, doesn't a haunted circus call for more adventure and less asking yourself "why did I go to Peru?" once leaving than would a traditional Circus Hall of Fame. C'mon. It's like having the circus off-season in Florida in your Indiana back yard! Speaking of off-season...when I was there in August...a man from Texas was passing through (apparently "working the State Fair circuit" which is glorious to hear in person) and this Texan brought along Tigers and Elephants. Really. There they were...elephants in the Hoosier farmlands...roaming amongst antique circus wagons (as seen in Big Fish, which the owner won't let you forget). In a strange way...if someone asked where to go to get the real Indiana, the Indiana I would want people to know about: the Circus Museum & Hall of Fame is on the list. This comes from a kid who didn't like the circus and a man who doesn't like the circus (you know...taser-ing animals...caging animals...laughing at animals...) The folks that run the place aren't interested in you being there. Or it seems that way...so be prepared to twist their arm to figure out what's going on...but really, they don't have answers. What they do have though...is a key to their Gift Shop that's closed and grown-over. Ask them to open it and buy a tee shirt -- they're beautiful.

We stayed in the parking lot which had 2 entrances, so an easy pull-through with our travel trailer and was mostly flat. A large 5th wheel also stayed the night and there was plenty of room for both of us. It is easy off-on IN Highway 31. There is some highway noise, but it died down in the evening and we slept well.

For my 100th Review I needed to pick a very special place, and I think I have found it…read more My parents recently moved to Marion and every time I drive there I pass this place. The sign says Round Robins Bingo Barn. Intrigued, I swore that the next time I was visiting my parents I would stop in and play. And so I did. I was completely overwhelmed by what I walked in to. I would say at least 200 people were sitting in a huge room playing game after game of bingo. We got there a bit late and had to be caught up by the "professionals" but we caught on in no time at all. For $12 you get something like 10 games with 18 cards in each plus you can add an extra bingo card here and there for a dollar. 3 games of the night are with $1000 and then they have a few $300 games. We didn't realize what a commitment we were signing up for. We were there for at least 2 hours and still had games to play. Playing Bingo really makes a girl hungry and unfortunately they didnt have a kitchen at the time, you can buy sodas and snacks and if you are really hungry you can have pizza delivered. Those people really had the right idea. Unfortunately we didn't win any games that night but I can honestly say that was the most entertainment I have had in Marion Indiana.

The back of the gallery contains more general mid-century paperback books and ephemera for sale, along with shirts made by one of the owners. The owners live in the upstairs of the house and have a fascinating personal history that they will share with you, along with tips on everything you can possibly do in Fairmount. The warmth and enthusiasm of the owners is endearing. We didn't even buy anything and they could not have been nicer. We returned the following morning and purchased their memoir, which is being made into a documentary film.

The HoF is located in the former home of Marie Webster, Marion's own member of the National Quilters Hall of Fame. Marie was a local socialite who loved to design and sell her patterns nationwide. Although the home had fallen into ruin, it was purchased before demolition, designated on the register of National Historic Landmarks and restored to its glory in the early 1990's. Inside, the house uses nearly every room as a gallery for the exhibits that are brought in. During my visit, a show called "Pieced Together: Patchwork Quilts from Russia" was on display on both the main floor and in a couple of the rooms upstairs. Many of the quilts had Russian history patterned into their fabric. Some of the quilts upstairs were more universal and took on themes like flowers and butterflies. The museum also has books and patterns and accessories that are for sale. Behind the museum is a nicely arranged flower garden with an access ramp for those who are challenged physically with stairs. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any means for viewing the upstairs rooms other than via stairs. My wife is a quilter and I understand how difficult and how much commitment it takes to make all these pieces fit together into something that often tells a story with its images. Review #2561
