In Valparaiso itself is a restaurant called Kelsey's Irish Pub that has a large fiberglass bull next to its sign. Also, Valparaiso is the birthplace of Orville Redenbacher, and every year in September (the weekend after Labor Day) they have a popcorn festival. Valparaiso University is home to the largest chapel on a college campus. [Darlene Maloney, Christine Breecher, 02/27/2000]
[RA: Tipster J. Mitchell tells us that Chesterton has no real ties to the Wizard of Oz -- but that the store proved so popular that it spawned a separate annual Wizard of Oz festival, which itself proved so popular that it had to move to a park in Valparaiso.]Nearby Offbeat Places
