I grew up in Hendricks County, Indiana. For years, if we ever wanted to do something as cool as a Food Truck Friday, we had to drive to downtown Indy.
Well, I’m here to tell you that the funky flavor of Food Truck Fridays is here to stay. And there’s still time left to enjoy them, as the food truck season ends in October. So mark your calendars for the events below.
