From Dubois County

Hey Reader,

I will add a few of our favorite photos from the year to the newsletter over the next few days.

We loved the image above that Amy captured in January. This pair was having such a great time. They actually crashed at the end of this run.

I wrote a pretty lengthy article on the Mid-States Corridor RDA today that I would suggest you take some time to read.

Also, what are your plans tomorrow evening?

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane

Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026 Issue #237 From Dubois County Happy midweek, Reader, There is a dog-powered butter churn at the Dubois County Museum. It's not small.

Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2026 Issue #236 is today's sponsor. From Dubois County Contractors had a great view of downtown Jasper from the Siebert building this afternoon. Good afternoon, Reader, I spent three hours in interviews today with about eight people for three different stories. All of them on different subjects. But all of them shared a commonality in building community. I love seeing these themes woven through these different stories. We are made for community in whatever form it takes....
