Postponed ATV Benefit For David Hewitt Will Happen August 1

(Rising Sun, Ind.) - After a four month postponement, the Former Rising Sun Police Chief David Hewitt will be honored with an ATV benefit ride next month.

Registration will take place from 9:30 a.m. to noon. The ride will happen from 12:15 to 5:00 p.m..

Cost is $25 per unit and includes two meal tickets. It’s $10 for an additional rider and meal ticket. Kids 12 and under may participate for free.

There will also be t-shirts and silent auction items up for sale.
