Eldora ???
 

Taking grandsons to 4-crown. Are there any places near by for horseback riding during the day? Also is there a radio am/fm station to listen to track announcer while at the track ? Thanks for any ideas.:22:

Sorry, I can only help with the latter... Track FM Frequency is 87.9

If you are willing to drive a little bit, Air Force Museum is not too far away. Otherwise, not a whole lot to do durning the day by Eldora.

I believe the quarter midgets will be racing on the little track during the day.

I highly recommend the museum. I went there in July man I was blown away at how many different types of planes they have and plus it's free

Thanks for all the help . Wright Patterson AFB sounds like a great idea.

You will really enjoy the musuem. Be sure to visit the presidential plane hanger. Think you have to sign up to take the bus over to it so do this when you first come in. You actually get to board some of the old Air Force One Planes.

we used to go into the pits b4 races & talk w/ crews & a few drivers that showed up. Enjoy the museum though if you do go:6:

Re: Eldora ???
 

take him to see annie oakey's grave, not far away:11;

Re: Eldora ???
 

They usually start around 2 or 3 if I remember correctly. Maybe it has changed. Bicycle museum in New Bremen is pretty cool, 1/2 hour away.

If you and the kids like aircraft, you won't regret it. But be sure to allow plenty of time...there's LOTS to see. Enjoy!

The Garst Museum in Greenville is neat and free if you do not want to give a donation.
Neal Armstrong Museum in Wapakoneta is neat place to visit also.

Re: Eldora ???
 

Don't know about the horseback riding, but Annie Oakley's grave is in North Star nearby. Just a few miles south at Greenville is the Garst Museum which has a lot of her artifacts on display. I'm thinking they used to have the Iddings Spl. sprint car that Sonny Ates set all the track records in on the highbanks back in the day also....Anyone out there know if this legendary sprint car is still there?
