Fun Things to do in the City!

    Monrovia, Indiana is a cozy place full of family and a lot of sports games, but if you are more interested in  the fast-paced city life, here’s some cool things happening in the city.  If you love Monrovia you probably love the abundance of agriculture; the State Fair is in town! I went to the fair yesterday, and I loved it. There are deep fried (insert any food here). The people-watching is not bad either. There are fair animals, tractors, and butter carvings. I bought a candle whittled into a bear. You could go on a date too! When again will you receive the opportunity  to eat deep fried food with your love under the light of the pale moonlight? 

Another fun thing to do is the IndyFringe Festival. You can walk down Mass Ave all day seeing amazing new-age, creatively adept theatre all day for a week. It runs August 13th-August 20th. You can buy a pass so you don’t have to pay for every play you see. It is an amazing arts opportunity. I have attended the IndyFringe Fest twice, and it was the  most amazing time of my life. Another thing to do in the city this fall is the Feast of the Lanterns. Lanterns are lit and float away in the night as everyone comes together, eats foods and unites under the glow of a thousand lanterns. I attended last year, and it was so beautiful. Have fun guys!
