Where else can one find a small town that holds an annual theatre festival named in honor of one of its own natives, William Inge, or celebrates the early settlers in the Little House on the Prairie novels?

Lastly, where else can one find a town that holds a weeklong festival with the whimsical name Neewollah (, Halloween, spelled backward)?
