This week in 1975:

A Tipton used car dealer was credited with thwarting an armed robbery attempt by two Indianapolis young hitchhikers when he deliberately wrecked his car in front of a state trooper. Thomas D. Vinson, 41, was the victim of the robbery attempt while driving on the south side of Indianapolis. According to reports, he had picked up two young men who wanted a ride to Louisville. After riding a distance, one of the young men pulled a gun and ordered Vinson “not to do anything foolish.” Around this time, Vinson spotted a state trooper and considered ramming his car, but did not do so because the trooper had his family with him. Instead, he drove head on into a utility pole. The men ran after the crash, but were apprehended a short time later.

Back in 1969, four local women — Margaret Hinkle, Nan Nash, Bobbie Kauffman, and Henrietta Larson — set out to promote Tipton County's pork industry. What began as handing out recipes and samples soon grew to an ambitious idea: a community festival designed to bring rural and city residents together.

With help from local businesses, the first festival featured barbecue, dancing, an art show, food stands, and more. It was an instant success, with over 6,000 pounds of pork served.

Relive the origins of Tipton County's Pork Festival at the link below, and enjoy the festival!
