Attractions/Events Classic car festival shows Auburn at its finest AUBURN — Now in its seventh decade, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival keeps finding ways to get bigger and better.

Over the years, the festival has added new events and improved its longstanding traditions.

The chance to see dozens of Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg classic cars — America’s most famous blend of automotive luxury, power and style — in one place occurs nowhere else but in Auburn on Labor Day weekend.

The Parade of Classics and car display afterward on Saturday date back to 1956 as the centerpiece of the festival.

The parade remains one of the best free car shows in America. Some 200

classic Auburns, Cords and Duesenbergs roll through Auburn’s streets to the courthouse square. Owners then park their cars around the square for spectators to admire.

Since the festival’s beginnings, organizers have added to the fun that stretches over four days.

In the festival’s recent history, Friday evening in downtown Auburn has grown into a giant, crowd-pleasing event anchored by an all-day cruise-in around the courthouse square with hundreds of special vehicles of all eras.

Best of all, it’s free to spectators.

Free musical performances by northeast Indiana’s favorite bands entertain crowds on Friday and Saturday nights, ending with

Chain O’ Lakes State Park, Albion

Steuben County lakes/ beaches Steuben County might best be known for its lakes, of which there are more than 100 (for tourism marketing purposes, the number 101 is used).

The county’s lakes range in size from a few acres to 1,034 acres, which is Lake James, one of the state’s largest natural lakes.

A majority of the lakes are in Jamestown and Pleasant townships. That’s where the Lake James chain is located, which includes Big and Little Otter lakes, Snow Lake, Lake James and Jimmerson Lake.

Other major lakes in these two townships include Lake George, Barton Lake, Crooked Lake, Fox Lake and Loon Lake.

Clear Lake, in the northeastern corner of the county at 800 acres, is considered to have some of the best water quality in the state, according to authorities with Indiana University and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Lake Gage, a round, kettle-shaped lake near Orland, is about 332 acres and like Clear Lake, has extremely high water quality.

Hamilton Lake, which is practically surrounded by the town of Hamilton in the southeastern corner of the county, has 802 surface acres.

With all of the lakes along with Pigeon River, Fish Creek and Fawn River (Crooked Creek) it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Steuben County has a lot of water. In fact, about 9 percent of the county’s surface acreage is water.

Some of the county’s lakes are highly developed, such as Lake James and Crooked Lake. Crooked Lake was one of the earliest in the county to be developed for recreational use. There once were passenger trains that carried visitors to Crooked Lake and Lake James.

Many of the early cottages on county lakes have either been converted to year-round use or have been replaced with permanent homes, or modern second homes.

A study sponsored by the Steuben County Community Foundation to inventory historic structures in Steuben County was buoyed upward due to the many older cottages on some of the lakes.

Lake James’ hilly, wooded shoreline is dotted with lake cottages and homes.

However, about one-fourth of the natural shoreline of James, in Pokagon State Park, remains much as it was when it was created by the glaciers. Pokagon’s shoreline extends to its northern boundary on Snow Lake. There, a steep, tree-covered hill drops off sharply to the water’s edge.

Some of the county’s lakes remain natural wonders, with little encroachment by humans. Those include the Seven Sisters Lakes, at Trine State Recreation Area surround the shoreline. The Seven Sisters, the largest of which is Gentian Lake, are some of the most pristine lakes in the Midwest.

Somewhat more accessible is Loon Lake, west of Angola. Much of Loon Lake is preserved by the Nature Conservancy, a private, international land conservation group. Loon Lake is home to many different species of rare and endangered plants and wildflowers, including carnivorous plants.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources maintains a fish hatchery along the Fawn River in Orland. There, DNR Fish and Wildlife biologists raise fish for stocking in Indiana lakes and also use the facility as a base from which to conduct research on fish and fisheries in Indiana.
