One of the highlights of the parade was the Friends of Owen County's huge puppet float. If you missed it this year, the Apple Butter Festival has a lot to offer Southern Indiana fair-goers. In the September issue we did a feature article on the 91st annual Aurora Farmer's Fair. This is always an extravaganza and this year was no different. We arrived Friday Evening and immediately headed downtown to have dinner and then explore the fair.
Parking is definitely an issue during the fair.
We were lucky enough to have connections and managed to park within a couple of blocks of the activities. Many people won't be as fortunate so be prepared for a long walk from the car. We ate at the Applewood Restaurant right on the bank of the Ohio River. It was warm enough that we sat on the patio where we watched the boats drift by as we ate. After dinner we plunged right into the heart of the midway.
