Candlelight Tour
I am in Mitchell this weekend for the kick-off of the Persimmon Festival, which is the Candlelight Tour. This occurs at Spring Mill State Park, which is set up as a pioneer village in the 1800's. People act out life as a pioneer as you tour the village by candlelight and lantern. It is a sight to see! My family and I go every year. I wish I could take the class there on a field trip, but it is 2 hours from Indy, and field trips are a lot more expensive than they used to be. If you ever get a chance, you should go visit the park. They have great camping and an awesome Inn, which is very rustic and "country". :)
The Persimmon Festival is also a great time. I was actually a Persimmon Festival Queen! (I used to be a lot skinnier in those days). I will be coming back next weekend for the parade and other events in "downtown" Mitchell. LOL
