100 Days of Summer Fun!

Updated Weekly!

July 26, 2015

Free movies, free bowling, fairs, festivals, playgrounds, pools, farmers markets, summer camps... all in the Tippecanoe County and Surrounding Areas!  Keep up with all of the best that the Greater Lafayette Area has to offer for families by joining our 100 Days of Summer Fun event on Facebook!

This is just another way to make sure you're in-the-know for the best ways to entertain and exhaust your Mini Macaronis who are busy counting down their final days of school. 

Each week I'll recap all of places to visit around the area, day trip adventures, and just fun things that our family enjoys.  Everyone has great ideas for Summer Fun so feel free to share with bethc@macaronikid.com

Here's to a fantastic summer of fun for all of us!
