It was a great turn out for the Hoosier Storytelling event. Lindy took time out for a few photos with our Mayor Judy Sheets, Bill Miller, and a few others.
There was also a question and answer session in which Lindy graciously answered questions from the audience before leaving to try and get some rest before airing at the very early hour of 4 am on Fox 59 News.
Thank You Lindy for never forgetting your home town.
