Spring is in the air...finally!

On a day like today, when it's in the 60's, bright and beautifully sunny, how can you not think about spring? I'm certainly ready to dust off the short-sleeves and put away the winter coats and sweaters, that's for sure! 

I like to think about fun things to do and places to visit when the weather gets nice like this and I'm so fortunate to be in the position I'm in - I get to help others find fun things to do and legendary places to visit with their families all summer long.  Soon, the roads will be full of families heading to Holiday World & Splashin' Safari or checking in at Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort, not to mention hiking the trails through Lincoln State Park and Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial! There's just so much to do here!

Do you have a favorite destination or family vacation spot? 
I'd love to hear about it!

Start thinking spring and planning for the summer now... I mean, April is right around the corner, (next week even!) so it's time to pack up the camping gear or load up the family car and head out for some fun in the sun!

Oh, and don't forget to stop by and say hi! :)

Think Spring in Southern Indiana

What does March do? If April showers bring May flowers, what does the month of March do?

I think that March marks the beginning of “thinking spring”!

I’m ready for warm weather, beautiful blooms, green grass and so much more! The Spencer County Visitors Bureau is thinking spring so much that we’re almost ready for the summertime. Not really, but we’re definitely ready for the warm weather and all the fun that it brings to the area. I’ve posted a few pictures to help you think of happy thoughts and spring time before the temperatures rise even more…



With an area fortunate enough to be the home of Lincoln’s boyhood, which includes a National park AND a State Park, plus the Lincoln Amphitheatre.  We’re also the home of Santa Claus, Indiana, where we get to celebrate Christmas all year long, and not to mention the world's first theme park in the United States - Holiday World & Splashin' Safari.

 

This year Spencer County will celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Santa’s Candy Castle and the Rockport Lincoln Pioneer Village – what a way to spend the year! Keeping checking legendaryplaces.org for upcoming events or get the latest updates on Facebook or Twitter so that you don’t miss a thing. If you have any great photos to remind us of spring time in southern Indiana, please post them for everyone to enjoy!
