Indiana’s Oldest Latino Hoosier Tradition Turns 100
Sunday, September 15, 2024, will be the 100th anniversary of the Fiestas Patrias parade in Indiana Harbor (East Chicago). One hundred years ago, this Mexican American community, coupled with the smaller community in Gary, gathered to celebrate Mexico’s Independence from Spain (1821). However, this inaugural Indiana parade had a deeper meaning. The early Mexican American community was taking refuge in their newfound Indiana home while recovering from post-revolutionary events. From 1910-1920 Mexico had another revolution, this time it was for economic equity, secularism and land reform. This would be followed by smaller battles (Cristero War) well into the 1920s. This war was in opposition to Calles Law, a secular anticlerical article that was amended to the Mexican Constitution in 1917. The political instability in Mexico during these years was among one of the factors propelling emigration into the United States.

Kentucky’s First Solar-Powered Brewery Announces Closure
The first solar-powered brewery in Kentucky, known for its ciders featuring apples pressed on-site, will close at the end of the month. Pivot Brewing, 1400 Delaware Ave, was put up for sale in July by founder and owner Kevin Compton after considering a transition to a worker-owned co-op.

Urgent Need: Special Olympics Indiana Seeks Coaches
Special Olympics Indiana urgently needs more coaches to support their expanding roster of athletes. Humans have a fundamental need to be around other humans. As a child, I don't think there was any greater emotional pain than being excluded from an activity or game with peers. It's a sting that lingers, and one that can really ding your self-worth. Inclusion matters, as highlighted in the Special Olympics mission statement. The organization has been empowering athletes for decades, specifically those with intellectual disabilities. However, to do that, they need community support and, of course, athletic coaches.
