A Living Tribute to Freedom in Vincennes (travelindiana.com) — Vincennes is gearing up for its annual Spirit of Vincennes Rendezvous, turning the French Commons and George Rogers Clark National Historical Park into a bustling 18th‑century frontier village each Memorial Day weekend. Residents can experience battle reenactments, artisan demonstrations, period food, and hands‑on kids’ activities that celebrate the city’s Revolutionary War history and role as Indiana’s oldest European community. 
2. Commissioners approve distributor sale, road boring procedures (suncommercial.com) — Knox County commissioners in Vincennes have approved selling a surplus road distributor to Harrison County and advanced new rules and higher fees for road boring and cutting under county roads. Anyone needing to dig, bore, or install utilities must now apply through the Knox County Highway Department, meet stricter standards, and pay larger fees and refundable deposits before work begins.
