On behalf of the Cambridge City Area Chamber of Commerce, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of this year’s Canal Days event.

We know how much Canal Days means to our community. It is a time when friends, families, businesses, and visitors come together to celebrate the heart and history of Cambridge City. Because of that, we do not make this decision lightly, and we sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to this year’s event.

We have already contacted those vendors we had recorded for this year. We haven't had a chance to check our mailbox this week. We will reach out to those who have mailed theirs in as soon as we receive them.

However, in the wake of the catastrophic flooding that has devastated parts of our community, our focus must now turn to what matters most, our people, our homes, our businesses, and the difficult work of cleaning up and rebuilding.

At this time, our downtown and many areas of our community need our attention, support, and resources. We believe the best way we can honor Cambridge City right now is by coming together, helping our neighbors, supporting our local businesses, and focusing on the recovery ahead.

We are deeply saddened and truly sorry that we will not be able to celebrate Canal Days with you this year. We know this decision is disappointing, and we share in that disappointment. But Cambridge City has always been a community built on strength, resilience, and neighbors helping neighbors.

Right now, our focus is on rebuilding the heart of our community. And when the time is right, we will gather, celebrate, and make new memories together once again.

With heartfelt appreciation and sincere apologies,

Cambridge City Area Chamber of Commerce

Hannah and I lost our home and vehicles, so my posts will stop until further notice. All the Original photos I share are presumably lost or damaged, as is my editing computer for the recreated photo's. Thank all of you for your engagement!

I'll know soon if the Second printing of the Town of Cambridge City plat survived.

Wade Weston’s life was taken from him in the blink of an eye on an August Sunday afternoon in 2008. He was only 38 years old.

He grew up in Dublin, Indiana, and worked as an EMT and paramedic in the region, eventually joining a medical helicopter crew based in Rushville, Indiana.

Wade and two other members of his flight crew were killed in an accident shortly after leaving a fundraiser for the Burney Volunteer Fire Department.

Although his life was cut short, his impact on others was significant. Hundreds turned out for his funeral, and nearly two decades later, Wade is still remembered by his colleagues.

That’s why a space at our new Connersville campus now bears his name.

The Wade Weston Ambulance Bay was formally dedicated today (Aug. 11).

“Our family is incredibly grateful, and we recognize what an honor this is,” said Wade’s wife, Gretchen.

“We find comfort in knowing his impact on so many people’s lives is still remembered today. His grandchildren will get to see his name, be told stories about him, and learn about the caring person he was.”
