Experience the Indiana Short Film Festival, Oct. 10-11

Working alongside someone who has been actively involved in the Indiana Short Film Festival for the past two years, I have been amazed at how far this event has come in a short time.

Autumn is awesome in Indiana Dunes Country

Fall is a wonderful time to visit the Indiana Dunes. After a summer of splashing in Lake Michigan and hiking the many different trails at the Indiana Dunes, I'm ready for what's next.

Children's Museum of Indianapolis

I'm a sucker for new exhibits. So when the Children's Museum of Indianapolis announced they would be replacing their Egypt exhibit with a new China exhibit I couldn't wait.

Come One, Come All to Bluffton Free Street Fair!

Bluffton Free Street Fair offers plethora of carnival rides. As a lifelong resident of Wells County, I have many fond memories of the Bluffton Free Street Fair. When I was a child, Dad drove a buggy pulled by one of his horses in a parade during the fair. Mom, my sister and I rode with him. Heady…
