FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Contact Person: Paula Griswold, Producer
Company Name: The Official Best Of

We are pleased to announce that the Songbird Prairie Inn & Spa has been chosen as the Best Romantic Inn & Spa for a second time in Indiana in the upcoming half-hour travel show Official Best of Indiana-Illinois 2019.  The Songbird Prairie Inn & Spa is nationally recognized and Official Best of Indiana-Illinois is honored to include it in our shows.

The Official Best of Indiana-Illinois 2019 show will air on Saturday, August 24 at 1pm on WBBM Chicago and at a later date on WXIN Fox Indianapolis.

The Official Best Of studios are based in Hollywood, CA and researchers located across the country spend at least 2 months per show compiling a collection of the very best attractions and destinations in each state.  Once the research is complete and destinations have been chosen, a show is produced and aired. Each state’s show is promoted and aired within that state as well as on a national level, and on the OfficialBestOf.com web site. One distinction that sets Official Best Of apart from many other travel sites is that it doesn't accept advertising on either its television shows or its website. The selection of attractions is by merit, and lesser-known but worthy attractions are given the same attention as famous ones.

The TV shows and the website www.OfficialBestOf.com offer a great resource for those planning a vacation, day trip or outing for residents within a state and across the country. Visit www.OfficialBestOf.com to see the states covered and follow us on www.Facebook.com/OfficialBestOf.g Media World U.S.A. is the parent company of Official Best Of.

See the Quilt Gardens and stay at Songbird Prairie Inn and Spa. Make your reservation now for your guest room and plan your trip to visit the quilt gardens. 18 super-sized quilt inspired gardens from May 30 to Oct 1. Songbird Prairie is just a short 45 minute day trip away to Amish country. Take along a picnic lunch to enjoy as you stroll the gardens. The quilt gardens tour is a free, self-guided tour that takes visitors to 16 locations throughout Elkhart County. Gardens range in size from about 80′ by 80′ and can include more than 80,000 blooms. Along the way you will find 16 large-format murals painted in patch-work quilt designs on the sides of buildings. Get more information on the Quilt Gardens Tour, including directions and maps at quiltgardenstour.com When you return back to the Inn, you may have a couples massage or you may relax in a whirlpool with chromotherapy after your day visiting the quilt gardens. This northern Indiana getaway will charm you with their gardens and native prairie also. 
Bring your glass of lemonade and relax while watching and hearing many species of birds and small animals. We provide the binoculars and guide-book. You can just sit back, relax and watch the sun set. https://www.songbirdprairie.com

Nesting birds need our help—particularly those birds that nest in cavities, such as nest boxes, woodpecker holes, and other natural holes in trees. Competition among birds for limited nest sites is fierce, especially from aggressive non-native starlings and house sparrows. You can help native nesting birds by being an informed, conscientious landlord. We’ve compiled some useful tips, information, and resources to guide you as you help nesting birds in your backyard and beyond. We hope you will find this e-guide helpful.
 At Songbird Prairie Inn and Spa, we host many species of birds in our boxes. Such as swallows, bluebirds, chickadees, and wrens. Come to enjoy nature. songbirdprairie.com
