🎨 Skip the at-home craft mess and let someone else handle the cleanup. 🙌

We finally checked out Brightly Art Studio in downtown Brownsburg, and it was such a fun way to spend the afternoon! If your kids love getting creative, this is one spot you'll definitely want to add to your list.

✨ What to expect:
• Process-based art where creativity comes first (no pressure to make everything "perfect!")
• Preschool playgroups, workshops, art clubs, camps, family events, and more for a variety of ages.
• Friendly instructors who encourage kids to explore, imagine, and create at their own pace.
• Be ready for a little mess... so dress in clothes you don't mind getting paint on!

📍 Located at 22 E. Main Street in Brownsburg.

🎨 Looking for a casual visit? Their Drop-In Craft Café is open:
• Saturdays: 10:00 AM–1:30 PM
• Sundays: 1:00–4:00 PM
No registration is required for the Craft Café, but many classes and workshops do require advance registration. Hours and special events can vary, so it's always a good idea to check their current schedule before you go.

💛 Comment “ART"  and I'll send you the link to Brightly Art Studio plus other kid-friendly art studios and creative spots all around Hendricks County!

I bet you’ve never heard of some of these ice cream flavors… 👀🍦

In honor of National Ice Cream Day, I stopped by @DannysMexicanIceCream to try some of the most unique flavors you’ll find in Hendricks County. 

From Hot Honey Goat Cheese to flavors you probably didn’t even know existed, everything is made in-house, and the owner, Danny, is always dreaming up new flavors to try. 

I ended up getting Pina Colada in a waffle cone, and it was refreshing and delish for summer! 

Which flavor would you try first?

📍Danny’s Mexican Ice Cream | 7730 E US Highway 36, Avon

📍The Hideout 
554 Pit Rd Brownsburg, IN 

Finally made it over to Brownsburg to check out @hendrickshideout! This drive over was totally worth it! We paired it with a visit to @bestfriendscoffeebagels to make the trip extra worth it. We were playing for almost 2 hours! So many things to play with from ride on toys, building toys, pushing toys, the play area, and more.

National Fried Chicken Day is July 6th and there is no better place in Hendricks County to have fried chicken than Mayberry Cafe on the historic square in Danville! 

Serving classic comfort food since 1989, Mayberry Cafe is known for its delicious food and nostalgic atmosphere inspired by the 1960s. The restaurant brings The Andy Griffith Show to life by playing classic episodes throughout the dining room and displaying memorabilia that fans of the show will love.

Aunt Bee's Famous Fried Chicken is a home-style favorite, featuring crispy, flavorful breading and juicy chicken. I paired it with macaroni and cheese and creamy mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort food meal.
 
Even though the Mayberry isn’t open on Fried Chicken Day itself, who says you can’t celebrate early or all week long?

Mayberry Cafe
📍78 W Main St. Danville, IN
