Huey Helicopter Experience Coming to Evansville Wartime Museum
You can take a ride in a 1970 UH-1 Huey helicopter at the Evansville Wartime Museum during an upcoming weekend in August.

LISTEN: Crowe Boys Give Classic Toy Story Tune a Folksy Makeover
Randy Newman's hit song "You've Got a Friend in Me" is flawless, but this folk rendition might be the best cover of the cult classic yet. The Toy Story movies were a huge part of my early childhood. Growing up in the early 2000s, I vividly remember my parents renting VHS copies of Toy Story (1995) and Toy Story 2 (1999) at the local video store. I believe I even had a copy of Classic Disney, Vol. 3: 60 Years of Musical Magic (1996) on CD, which featured the song "You've Got a Friend in Me" from the films. The song has always been one of my favorites, and it's even been covered by several big-name artists over the years.
Ready for Spooky Season? Indiana is Home to a Week Long Halloween Festival!
There's one festival in Indiana that celebrates Halloween for an entire week!. Like many folks, I love the Halloween season. It's when the weather starts cooling down and we get a break from the humid midwestern summer heat, and it's when pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and haunted houses open for the season. In my opinion, it's the most wonderful time of the year! However, it's also one of the busiest times of year because there's so much going on, that it's hard to fit it all in. But there is one week in October, you'll definitely want to pencil in some PTO because there's a week-long Halloween celebration, that you won't want to miss!

New State-of-the-Art Indoor Pickleball Courts Coming to Indiana
Pickleball Kingdom, the world's largest indoor pickleball court operator, has announced a significant expansion into Indiana.

USA Pickleball notes that the sport was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island and is played on a court the same size as a doubles badminton court.

See What It’s Like Inside a Wild Amish Grocery Store in Illinois
I am so glad we live in the part of America that also has so many vibrant Amish communities. And, when I say "vibrant", I'm obviously not talking about the color of clothing, but the natural way of life that they share including their grocery stores which are unlike any you've probably ever seen as new video from Illinois proves.
