It's not too late to get a taste of our great Indiana State Fair. I've been every day so far and it's been awesome. Even the rainy days have been fun. Besides making sure that you stick your head in the Coliseum for one last look before the renovation, here are a few of my suggestions for the final weekend of the Fair.
Friday, August 17, 2012
2:00 & 3:30 - SCUBA demonstration, DNR Building Pond.
7:00 - Naptown Roller Girls, Grandstand
Saturday, August 18, 2012
noon - SPAM contest open judging, Home and Family Arts Building
4:00 - Cake decorating demonstration, Home and Family Arts Building
Sunday, August 19, 2012
10:00 - 4:00 Classic Car Show, along Main Street in front of the Grandstand
4:30 - Demolition Derby
IHM Fall Kick-Off Fest
Saturday, August 25, 2012
5692 Central Avenue
all-ages, free to under 21, $1 over-21, 4:00 - 11:00
Music and food - two of my favorite things rolled up into one church parking lot. The food is served from 4:00 - 10:00 and the offerings include fare from Sam's Gyros, Mama Carolla's, Pat Flynn's, Byrne's Grilled Pizza, Knights of Columbus Ribs, and hot dogs, burgers, and brats. The beer (and wine) garden is open from 4:00 - 11:00, and the games for the kiddos will last from 4:00 - 8:00. And like every good Catholic Church festival, Mass will be celebrated at 5:30.
The music lineup includes some of my favorites:
5:00 - 6:00 pm -- Dugan Brothers Band
6:00 - 7:30 pm -- Chad Mills & The Upright Willies
8:00 - 11:00 pm -- Greta Speaks
There is also a 5K run/walk that morning at 9:00.
Register by visiting ihmindy.org/home/fallkickoff.
Concert in the Park
Sunday, August 26, 2012
Rocky Ripple Hohlt Park
Between Crown and Annette Streets on 53rd Street
all-ages, 2:00 - 7:00, donations welcome
A day of music is planned in honor of Emily Whitten, who recently lost both of her parents. There is a terrific lineup of music - Miracle Mike Rodman & Co., Allen Stratyner, Doc and the Whiskey River Band, and the ever-delightful Andra Faye and the Rays. You are welcome to bring lawn chairs and coolers (leave the glass at home, please). Hohlt Park is in the heart of Rocky Ripple.
Look for my wrap up of all seventeen days of the Indiana State Fair in the next issue.
Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
