Yes that's right the name Valparaiso translates to Vale Of Paradise ! 
With Interesting Historical meaning to the name, Valparaiso is located in Porter County, Northwest Indiana, about 50 minutes from Chicago's Loop !
But For Popcorn Lovers around the country....Valparaiso was once Home Sweet Home of the late famous Orville Redenbacher and
the town's population will grow with visitors from
all over who will be in town to attend the annual
POPCORN FESTIVAL !!!
Roads around the town square will be filled with arts, & crafts booths, food, music,
& lots of people not to 
mention a PARADE and Races also!
The hand painted artistic benches on every corner will be resting spots for those with tired feet
or those who just got stung by the bumble bees that also attend the fest every year!
Valparaiso makes ice cream also- Valpo Velvet Ice Cream Shop at
55 W. Monroe St. (pictured below) is a must stop by & have - our favorite is
Cappuccino-Chocolate Chip- Frozen Yogurt!
Besides the famed popcorn fest, terrific ice cream,
and many fine dining establishments, (some of which
offer outdoor seating in season along the main
street named Linclonway), the City of Valparaiso is also
know for its renouned University !
Valparaiso University has been a top notch private college in town since 1859.
GO V.U. !!! - We love going to the
Crusader Basketball games and plan to BLOG more
on this when the Season starts in November !!
Kelsey' s Steak House has been a landmark on US Highway 30 in Valparaiso, IN for as long as we can remember... BECAUSE IT HAS THIS HUGE COW ON DISPLAY.

Mayor to even SING to save the Cow!
