This Hidden Indiana Campground is Called a Water Lover’s Paradise
Whether you want to float leisurely down a river or play on a floating obstacle course, there's something for everyone at this hidden paradise. Who doesn't love a nice getaway without having to drive super far? I love to take a long weekend and go somewhere within a three-hour radius of the Tri-State and spend a few days relaxing. Recently I learned about a campground that isn't too far from Evansville, and it sounds like the perfect place to get away and relax for a few days. There are cabins and campsites, but of course, the main attraction is all of the fun water activities they offer.
Cheers! Four Indiana Breweries Secure Medals at World Beer Cup
Up against brews from all over the globe, four Indiana tap houses managed to secure medals in the global brewing competition known as the "World Beer Cup." I'll be honest, I've never been much of a craft beer connoisseur, as I'm usually happy with my go-to choice of Busch Light. That said, I have several friends who enjoy the taste of craft beer, and the trend has been growing on me. Over the past year, I've had the opportunity to sample several craft brews here in Indiana, and I've been surprised at just how creative these tap houses can get. (The names have been my favorite part of the experience.) Some of these Hoosier locales have even made a name for themselves on a global scale.

This is the Best 4th of July Fireworks Show in Kentucky
The Fourth of July is nearly upon us. If you don't have plans to go see a fireworks show, maybe you'll want to check out the show that was named the best in the state. It's that time of year again when fireworks stores are open and people are eager to set off some brilliant displays. When it comes to fireworks displays, we have no shortage of them in Kentucky. Families from all over the state will gather for these epic fireworks displays in the state to celebrate America and be mesmerized by the views. That being said, everyone has their go-to firework shows that they go see each year all throughout the state on the Fourth of July weekend, so it would be very subjective of me to say which one is the best. However, what I can share with you is what Reader's Digest claims is the best fireworks show in the state.
An Owensboro Parents’ Guide to 2024 Teenage Slang
This past weekend I saw multiple posts on social media about parents trying to understand their teenager's creative use of the English language. It's a tale as old as time when it comes to "old folks" translating new slang words that emerge with every generation. Even Luke Bryan has learned...

Kentucky Couple Have ‘Fiery’ and ‘Explosive’ Gender Reveal
Brandon Pate officially joined the Owensboro Fire Department in January. But that's not the only milestone he's celebrating this year. Over the weekend, Brandon and his wife Ashlie shared some 'explosive' news with their friends and family. The couple are expecting their very first child and staged a 'fiery' gender reveal to share the news.
Could This Be the First Appearance of a Tesla Cyber Truck in Owensboro?
Several years ago, there was a car show at Roberts Stadium in Evansville during which many "concept cars" were on display up in the concourse area. Automakers use concept cars to gauge the public's interest or reaction to new designs and features and usually do not go into mass production. They're like gigantic Hot Wheels. I, for one, wanted to drive every single one of them out of Roberts Stadium.
Fantasy-Themed Village is Just a Road Trip Away
If you're looking for more than a getaway, and want to feel like you're in another world, we found just the place. This unique fantasy-like village is something out of a storybook. The name of the place is even enchanting. It's called Ancient Lore Village and it's "like no place...
The Curse of the Yellow Pole in the Princeton Walmart Parking Lot Returns
Just when we thought it was safe to drive through the Walmart parking lot in Princeton, Indiana, it appears the dreaded yellow pole is attacking innocent cars again. Some speculate that the yellow poles in the Princeton Walmart parking lot have been cursed or maybe it's a new TikTok challenge.
How to See This Indiana State Park’s New Baby Bison
Ouabache State Park recently welcomed a new baby bison to their American Bison Herd Exhibit. One of the things I love about Indiana is the number of state parks offering fishing, swimming, boating, and nature-watching opportunities. Ouabache State Park, located along the Wabash River near Bluffton, offers all of those things and more. However, if you decide to stop by the park soon, you'll definitely want to spend some time admiring the wildlife. Specifically, I recommend checking out their American Bison (a.k.a. buffalo) herd.
Police Touch Your Car When They Pull You Over for Three Crucial Reasons
Uh oh, are those flashing lights coming up behind you for you? It's nice when you move over and the officer flies by, but when they follow you as you move over it sucks even though you may deserve it. Luckily, I received a warning after I was pulled over....

Tennessee Has an Official State Pie And Here’s What It Is
When I think of Southern cooking, I always think about my favorites like pork chops, mashed taters, black eyed peas, and fried okra. Of course, having spent time in the South as a little girl, I remember no dinner was complete without something sweet, and that usually meant a fresh baked pie for dessert.
Here’s Where Teenagers Can Legally Drink
Did you know that the National Minimum Drinking Age Act which is 21 as we know, was only passed in 1984? That doesn't seem that long. But I digress. As I recently learned while in Wisconsin at a wedding that that national law doesn't necessarily mean someone underage can't drink alcohol. It all depends on certain exceptions state by state.
