Outdoor Indiana magazine's September-October issue features an article on persimmons.

The article documents the many uses of Indiana's favorite fruit and how the town of Mitchell celebrates persimmons during its annual fall festival that's named for the fruit.

The issue also includes a removable eight-page insert on Whitewater Memorial State Park that concludes a series in which one state park or state-managed lake was portrayed in recognition of this year's 100th anniversary of Indiana state parks.

Outdoor Indiana is available now at most Barnes & Noble stores in Indiana for $4. Subscriptions are $15 for one year (six issues, a 38 percent savings off cover) and $28 for two years (12 issues, a 42 percent savings off cover).
