Mark This Date Down in History! It’s little Indiana’s Special Day!
Apr 27th, 2010 | By Jessica Nunemaker | Category: Extras
There's nothing better than an Indiana Spring!
Heidy ho neighbor – and welcome! Today is a very special day! It’s little Indiana’s SITs Day! For those of you who don’t know, SITs, or The Secret is in the Sauce, is a blog recognition and comment support site. It’s a great way to network – and discover awesome blogs!
Whomever says a small town is boring just doesn’t know where to go! Check out these posts about everything small town – and enjoy the best of little. Indiana is the crossroads of America – maybe some day you’ll find yourself driving through – and you’ll need to know where to stop along the way!
You can dig into actual Indiana towns, mom and pop restaurants, family owned bed and breakfasts – even recipes — by using the categories down the sidebar, but for this one? I’m keeping it simple.

Happy SITS day!
I’ve lived in both small towns and large…I seem to do better in suburban type areas that aren’t too far from civilization…but then there are many days I long for the quiet down-homeyness of small town living!

@Jean — Hilarious! Glad you like it — it’s a lot of work, but definitely what I would call a labor of love. Welcome back!
@Neena — Definitely DO! There’s a TON to do here — if you can tell! Ha ha!
@Erin — That’s so true. When will people appreciate what is in their own backyard? The grass isn’t actually greener on the other side.
@Reading Rosie — Thank you so much!
@Angelia — We’ve been talking about doing something like that! I think it would be so much fun — definitely would enjoy the research on that one!

This is one of the reasons that I love a great road trip. Because you get to stop and visit the little towns along the way to your destination. I am hopefully going to get to travel more and share it with the people that mean the most in my life. Congrats on your day!

Happy SITS Day!!
Boy, Am I glad I found you!! We’re going to be in Indiana this summer! We’re going to LaPort, IN for the Red Power Round Up 2010. There is a icon on my blog that will take you to the web site if you’re not fimilar with Red Round Up.
We drove through last year on the way to Wisconsin and loved it even though it was a little boring….corn field, soy bean field, soy bean field, corn field, no wait corn field, look again–soy bean field, OMG is that windmills! We meet the neatest people at a state park below Indy.
I can’t wait to explore your blog and I will definitely be following! Hope you follow me! I plan on blogging during our trip this summer on the way to and from Indiana.

@Tractor Mom — Windmills are going up crazy here too! I’ve been meaning to write about it for ages…hubs is in the wind industry. Hope you have a good trip! I’ll check out your blog and Red Power Round Up — ‘cuz now I’m just curious.
What a sweet idea! I’m from back East so I’m all too familiar with the charms of small towns. I do miss them, being out here in Calif. Thank you for the great post!

You’re really making me miss the small town where I grew up. Wonderful blog!
Happy SITS Day!!!
Congrats on your SITS day! I’m from Indiana, so this blog is going to be super helpful to me and my husband. We’re in Michigan now, but visit family every couple months back in Indiana. It will be great to find some new places to visit. Love it!

It’s sad to think that small towns are especially suffering in this dismal economy. I love small towns everywhere…they’re always full of hiden gems. Check out my blog for my latest adventure: The Blue Banana Coffee Shop in the middle of nowhere in Eastern OR.
