IndyStar sports reporter Dana Hunsinger Benbow talks with an Indiana Fever fan before the Fever hosted IndyStar night on Friday, July 12, 2024, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Part of reporting on a community is being part of that community, and like last summer when IndyStar launched a reader advisory panel and held in-person events at Indiana Fever games and the Indiana State Fair, we’re planning some fun community events as the weather heats up.

This year, IndyStar readers can plan on hearing about another IndyStar night with the Fever, in-person events on our free ticket day at the fair, and a few other offerings that we’ll announce later. Our dedicated news staff, both those new to the area and those who have called Indianapolis home for decades, are looking forward to meeting you out on the town.

Thank you for reading IndyStar.
