Ride With Us Wins County Approval for Oct. 18 Event Space
From the Blackford County Commissioners meeting on September 21, 2026
Blackford County commissioners approved Ride With Us' request to use county property at Washington and High streets for bounce houses during the group's Oct. 18 event near the courthouse.
A representative identified in the transcript as Elijah Batten told the board the group already had city approval to close High Street and Main Street and to use Weiler Plaza. Commissioners then approved the county-side request.
No county spending amount was discussed during the exchange. The approval gives the group access to courthouse-adjacent public space for an event that already had related street-closure approval from the city.
