Hunter Hayes Set to Perform at Southern Indiana Venue
A popular platinum-selling artist is set to the hit the stage later this fall in Indiana. I was 13 years old in 2012, when all the girls my age were obsessed with teen heartthrobs, like the members of One Direction, Justin Bieber, and, of course, Hunter Hayes. In fact, I can still remember their posters on display at local retailers, as well as the CD advertisements. I met my wife in 2018, and later learned she was not immune to the craze. As soon as she found out that Hunter Hayes would be in Indiana later this year, I was already being sent links to purchase tickets.
Community Events Coming to Huntingburg in July
The Huntingburg Common Council and Utility Board convened on Tuesday night with a brief agenda of transit services and some exciting community events. Transit Director April Blessinger discussed the status of van 75, which was slated for replacement in the city’s fleet. The purchase of a new one was approved, so van 75 was appraised at Ruxer Ford. The appraisal came in at $5000 or less because of the age of the vehicle. After consulting with INDOT, it was determined that the repairs should be attempted to maintain it as an additional backup vehicle. Unfortunately, after ordering the parts, it was determined that the condition of the vehicle was much worse than originally thought, and the repairs were not recommended. As the van is currently owned by INDOT, it will be made available for 30 days to any transit service in Indiana for purchase. After 30 days, the van will revert back to Huntingburg for city use or public sale.
