This week on Spotlight 219, sponsored by Horseshoe Casino Hammond, we’re talking community, local impact, and people making a difference across the Region. We’re joined by Crossroads Chamber President Deann Patena to preview this weekend’s highly anticipated Corn Roast🌽 — one of Northwest Indiana’s favorite summer traditions! Plus, Grindhouse Cafe owner Gabe Mauch joins us to discuss an incredible philanthropic effort supporting local steelworkers and families impacted by ongoing contract negotiations. Learn how the community is coming together through a special food drive initiative. Don’t miss this important conversation highlighting local events, local business, and neighbors helping neighbors. Spotlight 219 is presented by The Times Media Company and Local 219. We explore what is happening around Northwest Indiana.
