Tomorrow in Mt. Vernon, Wildcat Youth Basketball Association is having their second annual Tacos and Trivia night. It will be held at the American Legion, which is located at 203 Walnut Street in Mt. Vernon. You can join them for a fun-filled night with dinner, games, and prizes. Doors open at 6:00 PM and the trivia starts at 6:30 PM.

The Four Freedoms Veterans Parade will roll down West Franklin Street Saturday to honor our local heroes. Parade registration starts at 10:30 AM on Saturday in the corner lot of the Lloyd and St. Joe. Officials say the Grand Marshal is Jerry Blake. He’s a North High School grad and served in the U.S. Army and Reserves for 40 years. He had two tours in Vietnam, one in Honduras, and one in Kuwait/Iraq. The parade will start at 2:00 PM on West Franklin Street. It will be blocked off from St. Joe to Wabash Ave.
Holiday World is going cashless next year. Officials say this means cash won’t be accepted. They say it will help make a huge difference in their serving time, and will make for smoother operations. They will accept all major credit cards, Apple and Google pay, and Holi-cash. If you do have cash, you’ll be able to load it onto a ReadyCARD at kiosks located around the park. If there’s still money on it when your trip is over, it’s still good to use anywhere credit cards are accepted.
