Downtown Bridgeton is designated a Historic District and you'll see Dr. Crooks' old office building and the Bridgeton Country Store, both built in 1868. The Old Schoolhouse is a relic from the early 1920s, and other historic buildings line the street of this quaint little town. Bring a picnic to the park, drop a line in the creek, or take a walk through the Bridgeton Bridge. You don't want to miss this treasure in southern Parke County!

Beef & Boards Holiday Classic. This trip is $120 per person.
Take a day trip to see Santa and his friends on stage in a musical spectacular featuring heartwarming sights and favorite songs of the season! Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre has been serving up food, fun, and fabulous live entertainment for everyone since 1973. Located in College Park, the theatre was a part of a chain of dinner theatres built by Louisville contractor J. Scott Talbott. It was called "Beef" because of the delicious hand-carved roast beef served before the performances, and "Boards" referring to the boards, or stage, of a theatre. Today, the Indianapolis location is privately owned and the sole remaining Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, entertaining more than 155,000 theatregoers annually. 
This trip includes deluxe motorcoach transportation, admission ticket to performance of the Holiday Classic, buffet lunch with coffee, tea, and lemonade (buffet opens two hours to the show and closes 30 minutes prior to the show), and access to full cash bar and cash dessert bar! 

Each trip will check in at McAllister Recreation Center and includes deluxe motorcoach transportation. Guests must be 18+ to register. Call McAllister Rec at (765) 807-1360 or register online at our website.
