Fun things to do for less!

#1 Family Favorite:
Airline Twin Drive-In Theater in Winchester, Indiana: Through April, Friday and Saturday nights - Car load for $10. From May through August, Tuesday nights - Car load for $5. All other times - (I think) $8/person, $5 for kids.

Morrow's Meadow in Yorktown: Great place to walk, picnic, fish, play or whatever - FREE

Balbec Cabin: Balbec is a little town on Hwy 1, north of Farmland about 25 miles. It's just passed Pennville, and you dare not blink when looking for it. Just as you come north of town on Hwy 1, look to your right. You'll see a Historical marker and a little log cabin back off the road. The 1850s log cabin is owned by Balbec Historical Society and is left open at all times. It is said to have been a station on the underground rairoad. Tradition says Eliza Harris of Uncle Tom's Cabin rested there on her flight to Canada. I have spoken with the owner of the property and she said that anyone is welcome to come and spend as much time there as desired (as long as you don't camp there - I already asked). It's such a neat little place to go and sit on the front porch, or play in the quiet yard. There are two outhouses and a hand-pump well. It's a great place for a history lesson and a quiet afternoon - and best of all, it's FREE.

Minnetrista Farmer's Market: Starting in May every Saturday 9-12. Lots of fresh produce and some fun stuff, too (like popcorn).

Mounds State Park in Anderson: Lots of fun and educational stuff and only $5 per car load (I think).

Scotty's Brewhouse in the Village: On Sundays, kids eat free (one per adult). They also usually have a magician roaming from table to table. Our kids love it. (It usually runs $25 for us and two kids.)

More to come....
