Basketball, Tactical Training Among Indiana Inaugural Events

Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana's new first family plan several events to celebrate the inauguration of Republican governor-elect Eric Holcomb.

Holcomb's set to be sworn into office Jan. 9 at 11 a.m. at Indiana Farmers Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis along with other statewide officers. The day before, Holcomb plans to host a free basketball event at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Indianapolis Star reports that participants will get a chance to shoot hoops with Holcomb.

On Jan. 7, incoming first lady Janet Holcomb says she'll host a tactical training event including virtual weapon training platforms at Camp Atterbury in Edinburgh. According to the governor-elect's website, the event has reached capacity and RSVPs are no longer being taken.

An inaugural ball also is planned. That event is sold out as well, the website says.
