INDIANAPOLIS – With the help of the gold medal-winning DeKalb County Special Olympics basketball team, Gov. Eric J. Holcomb dedicated the newly-constructed basketball court Saturday at the Governor’s Residence.
Traditionally, each family that lives in the Governor’s Residence finds a lasting improvement to make to the buildings or grounds. This court, which was funded by private donations via the Governor’s Public Building Foundation, will provide opportunities to host youth league games and community events.
Gov. Holcomb tips off the inaugural game on the Governor’s Court Saturday. The basketball court is just under junior high regulation size to fit the grounds. The lines are high school regulation.
After a dedication ceremony Saturday, the gold medal-winning DeKalb County Special Olympics team divided into two squads to play an exhibition game.
Gov. Holcomb, First Lady Holcomb and special guests cut the ribbon on the court before the inaugural game.
