Indianapolis weather this Labor Day Weekend should be (so the experts say) just about perfect. Which means… It’s time to take a hike!

The hiking trails listed below are all less that a two hour drive from Indianapolis, which means you can make it a day’s adventure and be home in time for a cook-out!

Football’s over until Super Bowl weekend, the weather is, well…frightful, and last I checked no blockbuster movies are set to premiere this weekend. Think there’s nothing to look forward to? Think again! The 2010 Indianapolis Home Show opens Friday, Jan. 29 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and runs through Sunday, Feb. 7. Whether you’re considering a remodeling project, in the market for a new home, or just looking for somewhere warm to go, there will be plenty there to capture your attention. Prepare to dream big as you tour the 2,600-square-foot centerpiece home that’s fully landscaped and decorated, or chat with one of the numerous professionals on hand to offer advice on home improvement and decorating projects. Home and garden celebrities such as Paul DiMeo of HGTV’s Extreme Home Makeover will give special presentations throughout the show. Tickets are $12 ($9 if purchased online) for those 13 and older; $5 for children 6-12. For more information, visit www.indianapolishomeshow.com.
