West Vigo High School holds new documentary screening.
Michael Husain, a West Vigo graduate, is an award-winning director who focuses on documentaries. Those who attended got to see his latest project called, 'The Waiting Game'. The film brings light to the American Basketball Association and its battle with the rise of the NBA and unanswered promises to their players. Husain said he remembers watching the ABA games when he was in high school.
'It was just a part of my childhood, and when I heard that they were struggling, the guys that I watched some of them were struggling,' said Husain. 'Well, that's a story that needs to be told.'
Those who weren't able to make it to tonight's screening can watch it on the film's website.

Indiana State Police team up with INDYCAR's Felix Rosenqvist for recruiting campaign
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The Indiana State Police (ISP) are teaming up with NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver Felix Rosenqvist as part of a new recruiting campaign. According to a press release from Indiana State Police, the campaign is based on the message 'we meet you where you are,' as troopers will be traveling alongside Rosenqvist to future races to connect with potential recruits. The partnership will also showcase the ISP brand to a national audience by placing an ISP logo on Rosenqvist's helmet that can be seen through onboard driver-view cameras. Indy 500-themed welcome center nearing the finish line Rosenqvist also wore a helmet featuring the ISP logo during the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 in May, where he finished 4th overall. Palou, drivers honored during 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 victory banquet 'I'm honored to represent the Indiana State Police,' Rosenqvist said.

I'm proud to support their mission to inspire future officers and show fans what a career in law enforcement can offer.' During upcoming races in Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa and Tennessee, ISP said troopers will connect with fans by providing recruiting information and answering any questions.

Strawberry Festival draws a crowd after CASY lends a hand
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Terre Haute's way of kicking off the summer took place Thursday with the annual Strawberry Festival. Put on by First Congregational Church, the event took over downtown Terre Haute for the 38th annual year. For just $10, people can purchase a ticket for 'The Works.' That includes biscuits, topped with strawberries, ice cream, and whipped cream. While enjoying that treat, there are tables with tents and live music. Gwen Hicks is a co-chair of the festival. She said the event was almost cancelled, but residents are sure glad it continued. 'It's just an annual event and we just feel that it means so much to so many', Hicks said. 'Today, I've had so many people tell me that they're so glad we're back and that we didn't cancel. It just means so much for me to be here this summer.' The event had been cancelled this year until Chances and Services for Youth, or CASY, stepped up to help out. CASY's Chief Operating Officer, Brandon Halleck, said they provided some much-needed financial support and helping hands for the day. 'When they made the announcement that they weren't going to have it after 37 years, we kind of sat back and thought how can we let this happen when it's such a staple in our community', Halleck said. 'Everybody looks forward to the strawberry festival, it kind of kicks off summer for us. As an agency, we were kind of kicking around the idea then made a couple of phone calls to the church and now we're here today.' The festival took place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., where Hicks said a huge crowd had been enjoying the weather and treats all day. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
