top 10 places to go around Putnam County and beyond

1.       Main St Coffee

Good coffee is a necessity of life for our family. It is also something hard to find in this County. Sure, we have a Starbucks but you would be hard pressed to find worst service. Since I gave up on Starbucks. I have searched high and low to find a good coffee shop in the County.
Unfortunately, I have yet to find one in Putnam County, but I did find this gem just 20 minutes from C Bar C. Serving great coffee and food daily. The menu and coffee selections change daily so check them out on Facebook to see what they are creating today. Also, try the tamales they are made from scratch by a local woman who makes them just for Main St. Coffee.
You can find them in Spencer, Indiana at 5 W Franklin St, Spencer, IN 47460 or on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/MainStreetCoffeeSpencer/

2.       Wasser Brewing

We have a lot of good places to eat in the area but none compare to the deliciousness that is Wasser Brewing, owned by a former teacher it has been neat to see this place grow as they have only been open for a little over a year. Enjoy a Manhattan like no other at the bar or devour a one of a kind tenderloin on the patio. You can’t really go wrong at Wasser. Have kids? Pb&j with a glass of milk is free for kids!

3.Catarac Falls

With so much nature around it may be overwhelming to figure out where to go. Cataract falls in one of my family’s favorite places. With upper and lower falls, you have plenty to see. At the upper falls, you can take a nice hike that descends the hill and walks you right behind the water fall. It feels like another time. After that take, some time and just walk around the falls and covered bridge located right at the entrance, Lower falls is much bigger but you are unable to hike all the way up to the falls. This summer they just launched kayaking on the famous eel river.
4.Jits Thai Place

When you are looking for something different than a tenderloin or burger head to Spencer and try Jits Thai Place. Owned by a husband and wife. She is from Thailand and cooks in the traditional style. If she is sick they will just be closed since no one can cook her way. The menu changes daily and the hours are a little funky since it is just her. The shrimp cigars and chicken curry are fire and this is coming from a plain jane hillbilly so you know that’s some good grub.

5.Covered Bridges

 The covered bridge drive not only lets you see 100 year old bridges but the drive is full of neat and interesting things to see from painted barns, corn mazes, and structures half remaining from another time. I have mapped out all the bridges on the C Bar C app so you can take the tour and not be lost. Look the C Bar C expo app up in the app store or google play today.

6. Blessed Hands Bakery

This is Cloverdale’s newest business ran by a local lady, who put everything she had into bringing amazing treats to Cloverdale this little bakery is wall to wall baked goods with amazing chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes that will cradle your taste buds. We love seeing new business in the area and are so happy this she opened and allowed all of us to share in the flavor of blessed hands.

7.Deer Creek Shooting Range

Need a release I have found no better than unloading the 38. This shooting range is about a year old and has been a great escape for me since they opened. You can bring your own and just rent the space or rent one of the guns they have by the hour. Either way it’s a great place to shoot.

8. Fluttering Duck

I talk about the Duck a lot because it really is the best place to relax, drink, and enjoy some pretty good pub style food. The atmosphere is great and on a cool summer night sit outside and enjoy friendly conversation. The staff, the beer, and the food are all top notch and you are guaranteed a good relaxing time. Check them out on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/theflutteringduck/

9. Millgrove Diner

Of all the little places to eat in the area, if you want a simple homecooked meal like grandma made than check out Millgrove Diner located 4 miles south of C Bar C. Enjoy homemade biscuits and gravy, hand cut fries, homemade ranch and honey mustard and a bunch of baked goods. Most people may remember this being Lou’s but, about a year ago Lou’s moved to a different location and after a deep clean Millgrove Diner opened. This is the go to for our family it is very affordable and filling. We are very impressed with the family friendly environment and how clean and tasty everything is. If you are at C Bar C stop in the office and pick up some coupons they made just for those who show!

10. Cloverdale Meadows Golf Course

 Alyssa and I just started playing (or trying) golf this summer and we found this little golf course only 10 minutes from C Bar C. Very clean and well maintained course, and friendly staff. They are priced very affordable and you can easily fit in a game in between showing so next time you come to the arena don’t forget the clubs!
