Wolcottville, IN

The Peanuts' character Linus believed he would see, "The Great Pumkin rising out of the pumkin patch and flying through the air with a bag of toys for all of the children of the world."

 If the skies are clear this Wednesday in Wolcottville,  what you'll see flying overhead won't be the Great Pumkin...       

It's the RE/MAX balloon flying over to celebrate the opening of RE/MAX Results! Join us at our office this Wednesday from 4pm to 7pm at 200 N. Main Street in Wolcottville.

Come early for our FREE pumpkin giveaway!

Register to win a Ballon ride this Spring!

David Rogers Days

A Pioneer Living History Festival

This weekend, August 23rd and 24th, is a chance to learn about life in LaGrange County in 1845. The festival includes folk music and dancing, clothing, activities for kids, handcrafts, and other pioneer skills that are demonstrated to recreate a bygone era. It is a live history lesson.

The festival is held at David Rogers Memorial Park on 250W in Wolcottville, named for the man who was a fine example of the pioneer spirit as he spent his life caring for others as a herbal doctor and land propspector. His generousity lives on in the fund established for local children.

This is a FREE family friendly event that "kids" of all ages will enjoy. There will be an ASL intrepreter, a powered cart for those with walking difficulties, and large print programs.
