It's mid-July, so it's perfectly okay to start thinking about fall. And the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival, Indiana's largest festival, is a good place to start.
The World Chicken Festival in eastern Kentucky will satisfy a certain craving AND give you an opportunity to see the world's largest stainless steel skillet.
In the late 1970s, I attended Thruston Elementary School just outside the city limits of Owensboro, KY. I just recently learned about the man the school was named after.
Get your fill of fresh produce, stock up on fall decor, visit the long list of vendors, take a hayride, it's all happening, and more at the Fall Farm Market at Hayden Farms.
