Last year, it was called off – but we have first word this morning that the 1,000 Flags of Honor event will resume, sponsored by the Exchange Club of Muncie.  Specific info isn’t available yet, but typically it runs the week leading up to September 11th – that attack on America will be marked by the 20 year-mark this year.


The Indiana High School Athletic Association is dealing with a baseball umpire shortage, which has led to lots of games being either postponed or canceled in 2021.  COVID concerns of older umps, as well as unruly fans seem to be the main cause for the shortages.
