The annual Canal Days, sponsored by Historic Metamora Inc., will be on October 7, 8, and 9 this year. The easy way to determine the dates for future years is that Canal Days always starts the FIRST FRIDAY in October. This year that happens to fall on October 7.
Some people have mistakenly understood that Canal Days is the first weekend in October, but that is incorrect at least for this year.
REMEMBER: The FIRST FRIDAY IN OCTOBER is when Canal Days starts, running for Friday Saturday and Sunday.

My hausband and I have spent an Anniversary in Metamora and I can't imagine a more romantic place than this. And we're trying to arrange one now. Thank you to the towns people for making it such a wonderful place to visit.

Fundraising Black-Tie Dinner
Like the little engine that could, Metamora, Indiana is steaming ahead with plans to buy a 32 plus acre museum building, visitors center, campground, restaurant, lecture hall and whatever the creative minds of the small canal town can dream up. And they are offering a gourmet dinner to help make that happen.
“Our first big public bash, a ‘Fun Raiser’ by our own Metamoron Actors Guilt, was so successful we’ve decided to go in a new direction with this special evening of fine food, first class entertainment with an art & antique auction thrown in,” said Candy Yurcak, co-chair of the Metamora Community Development’s black tie committee.
Scheduled for Saturday, October 1 at The Depot on US 52 in Metamora, this black tie optional dinner is a mere $100 per individual with all proceeds going to the group’s tax deductible effort to buy the Mac-Lynn Campground and turn it into a much needed public facility.
The evening begins at 6 pm with aperitifs and art browsing while the venerable and well-loved Indianapolis jazz vocalist Everett Greene entertains. For those who get too hungry for dinner at eight, at seven a five course dinner begins with iced caviar in a cream cheese cake, smoked salmon on pin wheel flat bread, and a shrimp and seafood spread on fancy crackers.
Next it’s toasted onion soup with trimmings. A special salad follows with enough exotic ingredients to make a Californian blush. A palate cleansing pineapple sorbet will be served before the main course of chicken breast pounded like it stole something (and got caught) then stuffed with an irresistible secret, stacked high and surrounded with colorful steamed vegetables.
The menu is supervised by the famous chefs of Rileybrook Hall and prepared by the soon-to-be famous cooks of Metamora who remind diners to leave room for carmel apple pie ala mode sloshed with homemade syrup too fancy to name.
Round and about all this the well known and colorful Maggie Beckmeyer of Cincinnati’s own Auction’s by Maggie will be presenting fine art and antiques at auction.
For reservations call 765-647-3360 or 765 647-5425.
