Take a drive around any housing area in Fort Wayne this weekend, and what will you see people doing? Mowing lawns, mulching, painting, and just generally spending an entire beautiful day taking care of their house. Take a look around Poplar Ridge Apartments, and you’ll see people jumping into their cars to go out and enjoy all of the fun things there are to do this May in Northern Indiana, including May holidays , such as Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day.
Below is a partial list of some of the May events As you might not expect in May, we still have Komet Hockey going on as the Komet’s advance in tournament play, As you would expect in May, there’s baseball downtown, and still a few major concerts. New to Fort Wayne this May, it’s the first ever Appleseed Comics and Art Convention, a little bit of ComicCon right here in the Fort.
One of the nice things about living in Poplar Ridge, is that we accept small pets, but what kind of pet is best for your apartment lifestyle. Find out the the Northern Indiana pet Expo at the Coliseum this month.
Don’t forget all of the ongoing things to do in Fort Wayne, like the Zoo, walking paths, and nearby state parks, like Pokagan just 45 minutes north of town. And, since Poplar Ridge Apartments is so close to the University of St. Francis, here is a link to St Francis activities for May. And, of course, on May 25th, there’s the 98th running of the Indianapolis 500 in Indy. You don’t have to mow your lawn that day, so grab the family and go see the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
