Hoosiers Have Been Driving To Bonge’s Tavern In Perkinsville For Perkinsville Pork Since The 1930s

Some dinners start with a menu. This one starts with a long country drive, a gravel parking lot, and a group of strangers setting up folding chairs like it is game day. In the farm country near Perkinsville, Indiana, a modest building has been pulling Hoosiers off the highway since the 1930s. People book tables weeks ahead, show up early on purpose, and still talk about the meal on the ride home.

Deer hunts to close Griffy Lake for two weekends

The Griffy Lake Nature Preserve will be closed to all public access and recreational use for the next two weekends because of deer hunts . The preserve will close: At 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, and reopen at 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16. At 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, and reopen at 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 23. “The closure includes all trails, shoreline areas and the entire lake,” the city of Bloomington’s parks department said in a news release. “Hiking, fishing, boating and all other recreational activities are prohibited during the closures. No watercraft may be launched onto Griffy Lake during either hunting weekend.” The 1,220-acre nature park north of Bloomington offers scenic woodlands and a 109-acre lake that formerly served as Bloomington's primary drinking water source. The parks department has managed the preserve since 1971. The city has conducted hunts in the preserve since 2017 to reduce deer browsing of native vegetation. The city said “excessive” browsing can reduce the number of trees and “reduce the abundance and diversity of native plants. Managing deer populations helps these native plant communities recover and supports the long-term regeneration of the forest.” Julie Ramey, community relations manager for the parks department,
