 And what’s better than a campfire after
dusk with the cooler evening air, roasting
marshmallows to make S’mores?
There are so many places to visit and things
to do in Southwest Indiana this time of year.
From camping at nearby campgrounds, to
the 20th Century Chevy Car Show, to the
Ferdinand Folk Festival, to World War II Days, So if you’re like me, you might be planning

F
all is by far my favorite season.
I’ve already bought my first mums,
gourds and pumpkins and I’m ready
for a break from the hot, dry summer. I like
autumn because temperatures outside are
not usually too hot to enjoy a mid-afternoon
hike, nor is necessary to bundle up in the
mornings.
everyone needs a break come the weekend.
This fall, one doesn’t have to look very far to
find something to do every weekend.
Most events in this guide are free or have a
nominal entry fee, so they are family-friendly.
And, they are all right here in Southwest
Indiana.
I have for years dreamed of putting together
a Fall Fun Guide so you, our readers, could
keep all the activities on your calendars.
Now, in 2018, it’s finally become a reality.
So whatever your schedule, don’t forget to
get out this fall and enjoy the beautiful days
ahead.
Happy autumn from me and all the staff!
