NHS Alumni Banquet Returns After 2 Years Off

I think I’ve attended nearly every Noblesville High School Alumni Banquet since I started working as a Noblesville journalist 36 years ago.

Tri Kappa’s Fundraiser is Dipped in Chocolate

Selling of the eggs raise money for the community while offering a tasty tradition every spring. It’s always a fun weekend for the Tri Kappas who push up their sleeves, put on…
