Parks, Festivals, Wineries Within 90 or So Miles of Haubstadt

Here's the deal...taking my wife, (more like dragging) to the Haubstadt show on September 19. I need to find something she will like to do Friday night and/or Saturday during the day.

You guys who live near there should have some ideas about fall festivals going on.

Your help is appreciated

If you are into theme parks, there is one about 45 minutes from TSS in Santa Clause, IN. Three wooden coasters (in really great shape) and other rides. I believe it is in the 30 dollar range to get in. But once you are in, drinks are free and food is cheap and good.

Dale indiana has the boyhood home of Abe Lincoln. Holiday World is right down the street with one of the worlds best waterparks and two of the top coasters in the world (Not for the weak) but not rough either.

Free with admission is parking, drinks sunscreen.

Princeton is having their Golden Heritage Days festival at the town square the weekend of the 18-20. Its not a huge festival but they have several food vendors, craft stands, and a stage where they have pageants, live music, and other things. Its only a ten or fifteen minute drive from the track, may be worth checkin out.

Google Indiana festivals and look at the September calender. There are a ton of festivals going on in the state of Indiana during the month of September. You will have to check to see how close they are to where you will be ,but you should be able to find something.
