Every time I walk in the front doors, the smell popcorn and the building in general hits me in the face and I am immediately super happy! I started going to plays and musicals with my grandfather here when I was in first grade and even now, about 18 years later, I still get super excited about going to the theatre! Just last night I saw Beauty and the Beast and I have no doubt in my mind that I was just as excited, if not more excited, than all of the little kids in the audience! I was definitely more hype about taking pictures with the characters than the kids were! Haha! Civic can always be counted on to put on a good production. The 2016-2017 season will be magnificent! They will be performing the following: Beauty and the Beast Memphis Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat To Kill a Mockingbird Grease Suessical the Musical I plan to attend ALL of the plays this season! I hope you come out for a few as well!

This small town festival packs a ton of fun during the annual three day event. We went early Sunday…read moremorning to avoid crowds. Many of the vendors weren't opened yet, but we found plenty to see and do. The information staff is friendly with great maps and programs of the festival guides. They explained that Saturday night was busy at the fair with several live concerts and carnival rides running late into the evening. The carnival rides and game booths looked sparkling new, colorful and clean. I wished I had brought my granddaughters. On Sunday, you could by a "band" and get to ride everything for one price. There was one booth with locally made glass paperweights. Elwood is famous for glass making for well over 130 years. The festival offered free tours of two local glass shops. The tours were short, only 10 minutes at each stop, but you could drive back over to the shops after the tour. I was hoping to see more glass at the actual festival with information on the Elwood history. There were many booths filled with carnival-type trinkets, local crafts and food. But the best part was a long line of food trucks. There was every type of food, coffee and summer beverages imaginable. The smell of bacon frying filled the air. Since it was early, I grabbed some biscuits and gravy from the Quincy Masonic Lodge truck. The guys in the truck were jovial and fun. I ate my breakfast at nearby picnic tables. They were delicious and stuck to my ribs. Food prices were unbelievably reasonable. There was an outdoor pavilion where concerts and other events happened. Nearby restrooms were available. Admission and parking were free. There was close parking on Sunday morning, but I'm sure parking was a challenge on Saturday. It was easy to get around the park. People are friendly. The festival is worth the visit.

The Elwood Glass Festival is an underrated festival based in Elwood, Indiana, a relatively small…read morecommunity located in both Madison and Tipton Counties and organized by the Elwood Chamber of Commerce. Despite having existed for 50 years (51 in 2022), the Elwood Glass Festival seems rather modestly known outside the Madison and Tipton County areas. I only heard of it because of a friend who lives in the Elwood area. It gave me the opportunity to more fully explore a part of the state that I've never really visited. The festival is a tribute to the unique, beautifully crafted hand-blown art-glass produced throughout the Elwood community since the earliest days of the Indiana Gas Boom, more than 100 years ago. It's held during the third weekend of August from Friday-Sunday and includes a parade, carnival rides, bus tours, food, collectibles, demonstrations, and contests. The festival is crowded but manageable and most Indianapolis festival-goers will likely consider it fairly modest compared to some Indy fests. The crowd was friendly when I attended and accessibility is fairly solid with the obvious exception of some of the carnival rides. The glass festival is considered family friendly and admission is free. The festival takes place in Callaway Park, an Elwood city park that is rather nice sized. The Elwood Glass Festival also includes The Vintage Rollers Car Show that brings more than 300 classic and antique cars each year along with live bands and other entertainment at the Jim Knoop Amphitheater inside Callaway Park. Free bus tours are available daily and include stops at Carol's Legacy Glass and the Historic Elwood Opera House. Both of these are worth the short trip up from Indy. The Elwood Glass Festival is only about an hour North of Indy if that. It's an easy drive and a great day trip with Anderson about 30 minutes from Elwood. This is definitely a festival worth putting on the family calendar.

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

With that said, you can practice here using your own ammo and can draw from the holster on the bays. Overall, a great range for 30-50 yd shooting distances.

There is not a lot of people that go here. The bays are very basic and have a large berm, a covered work bench with seating, barrels and target holders. The range was very clean, and they do not have a restroom facility, but they do have a porta-potty that was well maintained. Membership costs $175 per year and they have some very stringent rules to join. It seems very exclusive. On a side not, I was wondering who lived in the houses right across the street from the range. They must really hate life early in the morning. Anyway, I understand that this place is far off of the beaten path, even for North siders, but worth if because you are away from everyone and due to the club's exclusivity. If you are in the market for a private gun range, this is an excellent option. You just may have to drive.
