Indiana Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities, and Other Offbeat Stuff

For more than two decades, Indianapolis-based television personality Dick Wolfsie has been discovering and uncovering the many strange faces of Hoosierland. In Indiana Curiosities, this charismatic celebrity presents a delightful gallery of offbeat destinations and Indiana originals.

In this completely updated and revised edition, award-winning humorist Dick Wolfsie brings you 70 new stories of Indiana’s wild and wacky people, places, and things. You'll discover the Elletsville pumpkin launcher that can propell a pumpkin over a mile; an orchid so large (500 pounds) that it literally eats fertilizer; and the nation's only hair museum. Along the way you'll meet the man who drove a lawn mower from New York to L.A.; the Bridgettes, the oldest bevy of beauties to pose for a calendar; and the man who brought you Santa-bolic steroids to get you through the holidays, "Absorba the Greece" stain remover, and reuseable cotton candy (40% cotton, 60% polyester). Aren't you glad you asked?
