At its April 20 meeting the Dubois County Board of Commissioners handled a set of administrative and community items. The board approved a Special Olympics of Indiana request to use county roads W 100 S and S Old Huntingburg Road for a Fun Run/Walk on Oct. 3, 2026, pending receipt of the state Road Use Agreement. Rose Terwiske, fundraising coordinator, and athletes Adam Schwartz and Michael Drabik presented the request.
