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.

I went to some single A games in Virginia that were played on a high school field, so I was shocked when I arrived. It's a really nice facility, I was told IU Kokomo plays their games there. Not familiar with the ballpark, my experience started with buying tickets over the phone. I described the kind of seats I wanted, lady at ticket window provided exactly what I wanted; they were great seats!! The night I went was thirsty Thursday, so domestic beer was $2 for 12 Oz glass. Had a brat and eventually French fries. Parking was easy, may be a challenge if sold out. I had a blast!!!

They'll turn up the ballpark driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at the ticket gate as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, they'll say. It's only eight dollars per person. Folks'll pass over the money without even thinking about it. For it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the Umbrella Bar and the Backyard, and sit in shirt-sleeves on a perfect afternoon. Or they'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game, and it'll be as if they'd dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick, they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come, Funk...The one constant through all the years, Funk, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game -- it's a part of our past, Funk. It reminds us of all that once was good in Kokomo and it could be again. Ohhhhhhhh, people will come, Funk. People will most definitely come. Apologies: Terence Mann
