Taste and Experience Artisan Maple Syrup at the Indiana Artisan Marketplace and National Maple Syrup Festival

by aatourism March 7, 2012

In my opinion, nothing is more delicious than breakfast foods done right. Fluffy pancakes, cinnamon-y French toast, cheesy omelets, sizzling sausage or bacon—mmm! But there’s one thing you need to complete almost any delicious breakfast, and that’s syrup. Not a grocery store brand with a fictional aunt on it—I’m talking about self-harvested maple syrup crafted [...]

I grew up in Columbus, Indiana, a small, but progressive Midwestern town with a strong dose of progressive thinking and human diversity. So it is only appropriate for me to blog about the Ethnic Expo, an event you don’t want to miss. As a child and a teen, it was something we all we all looked [...]

Ethnic Expo in Columbus, Indiana October 7-8

by nwiltrout September 24, 2011

One of my favorite aspects of living in Columbus, Indiana, is the international diversity you find here. It’s very typical in any gathering of people at a public place in town to hear several languages being spoken. This diversity is primarily attributed to Columbus being the headquarters of Cummins, a Fortune 500 company that manufactures diesel [...]
