Booths of all kinds surround the Jasper County Courthouse Square. Movie Madness from DeMotte, Indiana is there (so expect games and videos for sale), as well as clothing booths, jewelry booths, toy booths, photo booths, and, my favorite: food booths!
Those are located along another side of the square. Several local businesses, like one of my favorites, Martin’s Restaurant, also of Rensselaer, is represented.
Although there are no rides, there is a bounce house, a bounce tunnel, and a few skill games like a dunk tank and fishing game. Fortunately, the bounce houses are very reasonably priced!
