What a Hoosierific idea - three cheers for Indiana! The date is in my diary; DH will be coming as well.  There's an American couple on the forum who live in the next village.  I'll check to see if they would like to come.  The German Christmas Market sounds like fun.

Today I met someone from my own home state who didn't realize I was American! Do I sound that English?

Is there another meetup soon?

Three cheers for Indiana - not a phrase often heard but I agree :D. Sounds like we will have enough people for Christmas Market-ing afterward! I actually have an American neighbor now and will see if she wants to come too (don't think she's on this forum).

I'm from a tiny town in Clay County, in the general region of Terre Haute. We visited Indiana recently and it does not seem to have changed much since I've been gone, which is sort of comforting (in a way)!
