Persimmon Festival
The 71st annual Persimmon Festival takes place September 23 through 30, 2017. It’s centered on 804 West Main Street, Mitchell, Indiana.
There are foodie events daily (see the list online), and most involve persimmon pudding. The committee has put some recipes online.
Of course, then there are the antique tractor and farm machinery exhibits, arts & crafts, a community yard sale, car show, horseshoe tournament, and a parade (at 2 p.m. September 30, 2017).
It’s all sponsored by the Greater Mitchell Chamber of Commerce.
