MEDIA ADVISORY
BETTER GOVERNMENT, NOT BIGGER GOVERNMENT RALLY (Benefitting: Wilson Farm Market)
WHAT: Rally for Better, NOT Bigger Government - Eminent Domain
The public and media are invited to join us as we assemble to support local businesses and community members against government overreach. Wilson Farm Market is being forced to vacate the family business by winter of 2024. This will impact not only the Wilson's family business, but their employees, local schools, and community members.
Come out and join us for a customer appreciation and rally in one.
Friends at Smithfield have donated hot dogs and Wilson concessions will be out
roasting Wilson Farm sweet corn.
What's better than free hot dogs and free roasted sweet corn?
WHO: Donald Rainwater, Libertarian candidate for Indiana Governor
Scott Wilson, Owner Wilson Farm Market
Wilson Family MembersTonya Hudson, Libertarian candidate for Lt. Governor
WHEN: Saturday, August 26, 2023
11AM-1PM EDT
WHERE: Wilson Farm Market
1720 E. 256th Street, Arcadia, IN 46030
WHY: Wilson Farm Market opened in 1968. The Indiana Department of Transportation has proposed closing off access at East 256th street and US 31 North which will limit direct access to Hamilton Heights Schools as well as Jackson and Adams Townships. Closing access will increase emergency response times to accidents on US 31, as well as neighboring departments assisting in other areas. Response times to large emergency incidents at Hamilton Heights schools will impact emergency responders and victims. Increased response times may lead to more damage, injuries, or loss of life. Access at 256th and US31 needs to remain open.
The Wilson's story is not unique. It's a timeless tale of government overreach and that's exactly why we must share this story and work to improve eminent domain laws.
