Needed a little bit of some time outdoors this past weekend. So I decided to head to Shades State Park in Waveland, Ind., which was about an hour away from West Lafayette. I picked the absolute perfect day to go, no crowds and some beautiful weather.
Saturday morning began as I traveled to Battle Ground, Ind. to continue my story on the Tippecanoe Township Volunteer Fire Department. It was hosting a pancake breakfast in the basement of one of the local churches to coincide with the Fiddler's Gathering which was being held that weekend. More or less on a whim, I decided to go to The Gathering and work on a video project of Saturday's events. All of Friday night's performances were canceled due to rain, but the weather was gorgeous all-day Saturday. The music and the hospitality of both the performers and visitors was just simply perfect.
