The Romance of Elkhart County Indiana

The Romance of Elkhart County Indiana 

 

When I think about romance, I think about holding hands, talking and laughing together, strolling at your own pace, kissing and being held.  Holding each other. Special looks you give each other and you both know what it means. Having a history together, the music that reminds you of special meetings or occasions from your past. You know exactly where you were when you heard that song.

 

So how does Elkhart love you back? By creating BEAUTY that takes your breath away! Elkhart Countie's Quilt Gardens are 21 unique locations throughout the County that have planted flowers, millions of flowers into quilt patterns that bloom from May until October. They are on display for us to enjoy! This gift is FREE! People come from all over the world to enjoy our Quilt Gardens every year!

 

 

 

 

 

Our Water Ways are FUN!

 

We are blessed to have several bodies of water, some of them run through the County, like the St Joseph River which runs east and west, The Elkhart River flows south out of the St Joe River starting just north of Downtown Elkhart.

 

Simonton Lake is the largest lake in Elkhart County and Fidler's Pond is a favorite body of water for many families in Goshen.

 

 

We Celebrate FAMILY!

 

There is nothing more romantic than Mom's and Dad's who love each other and together they celebrate their children's accomplishments...no matter their age!

 

I love the BEAUTY of Elkhart!

 

I love the FUN of Elkhart!

 

I love the FAMILIES of Elkhart!

This is one of the best entries I've read in this series. You did a great job, Evelyn, and I absolutely LOVE the quilt gardens.

Thank you so much, Pat Starnes, each of the locations that want to have a quilt garden have to submit drawings and name the plants they want to use in their design and have it approved. Then they have to recruit the many volunteers to plant and weed all growing season long. It is a big deal here...
