‘Major’ Bicentennial Announcement Coming

The Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc. facility in Lafayette also produces Toyotas.

A "major" announcement is set for Wednesday involving a key event tied to the Indiana Bicentennial Celebration. Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann, Indiana Office of Tourism Development Executive Director Mark Newman and Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc. Executive Director Tom Easterday will release details about a partnership related to the statewide torch relay.

The announcement will take place at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive headquarters in Lafayette.

The event will take place next fall and touch all 92 counties on its 2,300-mile course. Noelle Szydlyk, formerly of the Indiana Sports Corp., was selected in February to direct the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay. The relay is slated for fall 2016.
