First City Focus

How Red Kettles came to be


Listen Later

On this episode of First City Focus: It’s that time of year when we see those red kettles outside of our favorite stores paired with the familiar sound of bells ringing. But how did the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign first start? We’ll look back at the history of the holiday fundraiser. The city of Vincennes is one of nine communities in Indiana chosen for the Hoosiers Enduring Legacy Program, and now city leaders need to hear from residents on how to help improve our community as part of this effort. Perhaps you’ve noticed new sculptures scattered throughout downtown Vincennes? We’ll find out how this public sculpture exhibit is bringing art out into the open. And the VU Blues Ensemble pays a special tribute to the late Evan Twitty. You can watch all episodes of First City Focus on demand HERE. First City Focus is supported in part by Duke Energy and Good Samaritan Hospital.
