I arrived at Conner Prairie at about 5:30pm for the Fishers Juneteenth celebration Wednesday.  The parking lots were already filling up.  I could tell the turnout exceeded last year.

As I left the grounds, the lady keeping track of the number of people walking through the gate had over 740 on her counter as of 6pm.  Juneteenth is becoming a popular gathering in Fishers.

The Future Black Leaders Club from Fishers High School once again was in charge of putting the Juneteenth celebration together again this year.  There were more booths and activities compared to 2023.

Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in America.  June 19, 1865 was the day the final notification was provided to slaves in Galveston, Texas that the Civil War was over and all were now free.  It is a federal holiday.

In my walk around the grounds, all were having a very good time.
