I talk a lot about the various entertainment options available each week typically through your television or the web. But, this week’s article is about getting up off the couch and catching a slice of the Big Apple in your city’s backyard. Broadway Across America brings some of the best shows from Broadway to various cities across the United States.
About a year and a half ago, I saw the Broadway production of Burn The Floor. From the title, you can assume that there is dancing involved in the show, but what type is the question? Fans of Dancing With The Stars or So You Think You Can Dance will definitely love the show. But this blog isn’t about the show itself but the opportunity to witness some of the best dancing that I have ever seen. It was such a hit that they took the show on the road and are currently touring the nation spreading the dancing bug to all those who want to experience something different. I just happened to have another opportunity to experience the show for a second time when it stopped in Chicago for a two week stint. All I could say is AMAZING!
So many different genres – drama, comedy, musical or dance, to choose from. I believe that live theater is forgotten in today’s entertainment world but it shouldn’t be. If you have never experienced it, what are you waiting for?

After seeing the match-ups for the upcoming NFL Thanksgiving Day games, I’m not sure how entertaining those will be so I decided to see what else is on the tube. Here’s what I found:
- Fan of the Macy’s Day parade? Hit up CBS if you are looking for highlights of the parade along with performances from Carrie Underwood and various Broadway musical casts. The actual Macy’s Day Parade is on NBC with a bigger star studded lineup including Kanye West, Jessica Simpson, Jimmy Fallon and more.
- TLC has a Cake Boss marathon Thanksgiving Day if you are a fan of Buddy and his amazing cake creations.
- It’s not the start of the holiday season without the debut of a Miracle on 34th Street which will be on NBC in the early afternoon.
- Want to see homes available in exotic locations? HGTV is running a House Hunters International marathon for most of the day.
- Another Thanksgiving staple is A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving which will air on ABC Thursday evening.
- If you’re looking for some concerts right at home, Taylor Swift’s Speak Now tour on NBC and Beyonce’s I Am World Tour on ABC.
Hope this helps you find something to watch on Thanksgiving Day. Wishing you and your family a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Thanks to Phyllis Newman, our Regional Marketing Representative in our Evansville market for this week’s post!
July in Southern Indiana means county 4-H fairs! Lemon shake-ups, taffy, grilled corn on the cob, rides, tractor pulls, my favorite is hog wrestling and so much more fun that I can’t wait! I am getting hungry just writing this.
Here are some of my favorite fairs with links to their websites for more information:
Besides the county fairs, there is plenty of other activities to keep you busy this summer. Love baseball? Check out the Evansville Otters who are part of the Frontier Baseball League which is part of the Independent Professional Baseball Federation. Did you know that A League of Their Own was filmed at Bosse Field where the Otters play? How cool is that!
If you aren’t a fan of baseball and love history, I would definitely recommend visiting the Angel Mounds State Historic Site. For a glimpse into a past of the Native American settlers in this area, this is the place to go!
For the typically summer destination for family fun, head on over to the Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden.
