“Field show!” was the name of the game this week as the Little Indiana segment on PBS’ state-wide program, The Weekly Special, joined me in Rensselaer, Indiana to talk small town. It’s a fun show. But there’s always more where that came from, isn’t there.

Let’s see…there’s an ice cream cake that resembles a certain popular brand, but that you can easily make yourself. We are revisiting great small town destinations in images and doing a bit of browsing at a lovely antique shop in Peru.

Summer is here–get out there and explore. Well, after you check out this week’s recap, anyway. Don’t forget! You can nab a copy of the latest Little Indiana Quarterly Magazine right here while you are at it.
