The wistful transition doth commence, as summer waves adieu. In Indiana, the sun hath tired from its raucous frolic and makes way for Autumn to embroider her tapestry of russet hues (Oh, how Ive eagerly awaited!). With a heart full oer brimming anticipation like freshly pressed apple cider let us embark on a journey to uncover quaint rural wonders neath an amber canopy.
To begin our pilgrimage into Falls embrace, we meander through Historic Brown County State Park (1801 State Road 46 East; Nashville; IN 47448), where Nature unveils her masterpiece in vivid strokes. A palette of blazing colors awaits within this treasured haven but stay awhile! For amidst this wonderland resides local talent that paints with words and melodies at the lively Music Festival each October.
In Roanoke, quaintness whispers through shop windows and paves bustling historic streets during Harrytoberfest (1795 Stults Rd., Suite 400, Huntington; IN 46750). The air is heavy with camaraderie and culinary delights hailing from unassuming food trucks display their gastronomic prowess. Pray tell what better respite than partaking in sumptuous fare whilst honoring dear old Harry Bailey?
We trudge onward fueled by hearty victuals delving further into reverent autumnal splendor unto Shipshewana Trading Place Auction & Flea Market (345 S Van Buren St.; Shipshewana; IN 46565). Herein lies yon bazaar replete with peculiarities bound only by ones imagination. One cannot help but haggle over artisanal crafts, vintage finds and artifacts reflecting Hoosier culture steeped richly in lore.
Amidst these adventures precious do not shy from leafpeeping parades (an arcane parlance only our autumnfamiliars will recognize) held in various villages throughout the state, each reveling in its particular charm. Be not afeard of sharing the joy with likeminded individuals steeped too in seasonal rapture.
And now, dear reader, leave your cocoon of somnolence and explore Indianas Fall embrace ere Winter casts her snowy blanket upon these humble lands; for there awaits heartwarming zeal amongst friendly folk and vibrant activities galore.
