First time going to this festival, unfortunately we were only able to see not even a half haha From…read morewhat we were able to walk through we got good food that was different from the food offered at our state fair. I saw the cheese curds, but did not go for them. If I knew they were Wisconsin Cheese Curds I would have. Great food and great people. Yes, there was a lot of traffic as you got closer to the fair, but I think it was worth it. It looked crowded from all the cars that were parked, but didn't actually feel that crowded. Unfortunately we did see a vender drop a fry on the counter and put it back into a customers bowl. Unsanitary and not good. Also for the venders... I noticed that their "gem" necklaces were just hollow plastic. To me that's horrible to be selling something that obviously fake. For those 2 reasons I'm deducting stars. Otherwise I'd say yes DEFINITELY worth the trip and traffic haha

The German-American Klub put on another wonderful festival again this year. The weather was…read moreabsolutely perfect and the place was packed all weekend. The festival was Thursday Friday and Saturday September 5-7 2024. My recommendation is.... Get there early! The desserts sold out each night and the lines can get very long. All of the food we tried were great. I love the potato pancakes with a little applesauce on them. So good! There were live bands playing near the restaurant and another German band playing in the pavilion. There was also traditional dancing in the pavilion. All of the food and beverages stands take tickets only. So you buy tickets for $1 each at a tent and then buy the food or drinks that you want. Admission was $5 a person.

There is usually a vendor tent, a singing contest, activities for kids, a few rides, and a church service on the last Sunday. This year we went to the parade, and it was a beautiful day for it! A couple years ago, they had municipal garbage trucks in the parade, a real WTF moment. This year was better, but I really miss the crazy Shriners on their mini bikes or other small vehicles performing tricks and such! The calliope at the end used to be a classic touch, but that's gone now too. I still enjoy seeing area school bands (from as far away as Cloverdale & Tipton) and other community groups. It's a good family event because the kids love catching candy that people throw from floats. We had a picnic with my family during the parade this year. I'd like to see a few more interesting additions to the parade, but all in all, a good source of memories for me and a fun small town tradition.

Usual: I visit the City of Carmel booth to get a thermo lunch bag; I learned about their new logo. I stop by the Carmel Fire Dept. booth to learn about their upcoming Safety Day. The movie theaters have interesting games. This year: I tried a couple of free samples, which I did not like. One vendor was selling macarons on both areas of the festival. Lots of political booths. I seldom find food to purchase, but this year I noticed and tried el Patron food truck because they offered short rib taco, which I have never heard of. I bought 2 short ribs tacos and 1 steak taco with side of mild salsa, which was super hot to me. The tacos needed each lime wedge to moisten the delicious, hearty meats. I would recommend the $16 tacos (with tax). I wanted to listen to the concert tribute to Fleetwood Mac which was OK from where I sat to eat dinner. This year fireworks will be on the 4th. Parade will be on the 4th in the morning with people already placing something to hold their spot.

We started off grabbing a funnel cake and then walked around all the pop up shops! We headed over to the kid zone which was a ton of fun they had bounce houses and a few rides along with a petting zoo with goats, bunnies and horses. We did a pony ride and got to pet and feed the animals! Then to end our day we watched the concerts going on and had a blast listening and dancing to the music. Overall it was a fun experience and we look forward to coming back next year!

I am always up for an adventure, and this one was no exception. If you like stepping back in time, then you need to come check out the Feast of the Hunters Moon, a reenactment of a mid-1700s trading post. With a reenactment comes reenactors. There are hundreds of them, dressed in traditional garb, armed with artillery, hanging out in their traditional tents, huddled around the fire. It's quite the sight to see. These reenactors lead a variety of events, from traditional dances to church ceremonies for a few denominations. Vendors also set up shop, selling everything from furry frontier hats to fine china to swords to mini telescopes. Best of all, there's BUD'S ROOT BEER (the best of the best) and FOOD: apple dumplings, fried dough, pork chops, stews/soups, sausages, breads. Most of it is pretty tasty, so bring cash and your appetite for sure! This event is definitely family-friendly and a nod to our Indiana history. Mark your calendars to experience this for sure!

Despite other orchards/pumpkin patches absolutely price gouging families, Anderson Orchard remains the same and reasonably priced. Hours for September and October: 8am-8pm (or dark) We drove from Noblesville, I was so happy they were still open! Plenty to do for the kids, playground, bounce houses, straw pile, photo ops. They offer U-pick apples & Pumpkins or if you're in a hurry they're ready to grab from the red barn. Pumpkins are super reasonably priced at $.40 a Lb or pie pumpkins for $3. The concession stand is open on Saturday & Sunday. I love the fried biscuits with apple butter & of course you must get the apple cider slushies!! I don't remember seeing it prior, but they had apple cobbler warmed up with ice cream, delicious! I just love this place so much! Don't leave without a bag of apples, Carmel apples, apple cider & get some of those fried biscuits! Highly recommend bringing the whole family.

Well, more like they made it impossible not to want to leave with one of every one of their zillion varieties of orange, no green, no brown, no white, globes. You name it - they had it: edible, smooth, bumpy, enormous, tiny, rustic, vibrant and so on and so forth. Better yet, their prices were very practical - I wouldn't say dirt cheap, but fair. Not in the mood for fall yet? Hop in the car and take a little drive to Nashville, Indiana for a visit to Kelp's. If that doesn't do the trick - I don't know what will. Keep an eye out for their fall festival (first weekend of October). Take your camera!

They have completely embraced the "hot honey" trend and are making some amazing honeys that are perfect for a nice "drizzle" on pizza, a Christmas ham or even as a sweetener in your green beans or spaghetti sauce! Their service is fantastic and you're even able to taste a few before buying! Go see them for gift baskets or to join their "honey (not jelly) of the month club" #iykyk
