Good morning, Fort Wayne.

Rudy’s Cigar Shop offered free haircuts for veterans yesterday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.—its Brackenridge downtown location near Parkview Field hosted the service for those who served.

Blessings in a Backpack and the Allen County Public Library have partnered to fight hunger among local children by offering free weekend meal bags at eight library branches (Main, Georgetown, Hessen Cassel, Little Turtle, Pontiac, Shawnee, Tecumseh, and Waynedale) from Friday, June 5 to July 31.

Veteran and American Legion Post 241’s Post Commander Brian Kennefic said the Waynedale Memorial Day parade honored fallen service members with a service at Prairie Grove cemetery.

He stressed the event taught future generations the meaning behind the holiday.

On May 26, Parkview Field helped spur downtown development as featured in a monthly series on the TinCaps, showing how the field boosted growth in an evolving part of Fort Wayne.

The report highlights its role in encouraging community involvement.

Fort Wayne Improv is hosting its inaugural Impy 500 Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. on East State Boulevard, where teams will perform improv routines with 500-second and 25-minute sets as they vie for a trophy and a cup of milk.

The audience will decide the champion.

AAA reported Indiana drivers paid below $4 per gallon during Memorial Day weekend + this compares to the $4.50 national average, with Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Georgia sharing these lower gas prices.

Fort Wayne Community Schools today released the names of board seat candidates (Willie Burton, Abigail Dutcher, and Roberta Jensen) for District 3 in the Snider High School area.

The board will review applications and may conduct interviews before announcing a new member on June 8.

The Board of Zoning Appeals denied The Heritage Group’s $145-million quarry proposal after a public hearing at Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday night.

More than 1,000 residents and local leaders said the plan would bring dust, loud noise, and flooding risks to southwest Allen County.

Gov. Mike Braun is considering whether to extend Indiana’s temporary gas tax suspension beyond June 7—this move currently lowers fuel taxes by about 59 cents per gallon and could affect gas prices, although legal authority for an extension remains under review.
