Applications are available online at cognitoforms.com/IndianaPOWER1/IndianaPOWERScholarship. Applicants must be 25 or older and attending or recently accepted to an Indiana college or university. The deadline to apply is Nov. 7.

(Evansville, IN –) The Vanderburgh Humane Society’s annual Pet Pictures with Santa are Saturday and Sunday,November 8^th and 9^th. This year marks the 39^th for this holiday tradition, sponsored in 2025 by Heritage Federal Credit Union. VHS is the Tri-State’s original Pet Pictures with Santa in Evansville, and still the best!

Pet Pictures will take place at Washington Square Mall in the food court. All pets must be kept on a leash or in a carrier until the time of their photo. Times are as follows:

Saturday, November 8^th, 10 AM – 5 PM
Sunday, November 9^th, 11 AM – 4 PM

For $30, participants receive two digital images for their own use. Photos may include more than one animal, and kids and adults are also welcome in photos with or without pets! This is an excellent opportunity for a family Christmas card. Digital images will be sent prior to Thanksgiving. Costumes are welcome, and rental holiday accessories for pets are available free of charge!

How long ago did VHS start Pet Pictures with Santa?

The VHS was the first organization in the area to introduce Pet Pictures with Santa in 1986. Next year will mark its 40^th anniversary!

Can only dogs attend? Or people & other types of pets?

Typically hundreds of families attend, bringing pets & people of all types and ages. Santa has been known to visit with not only dogs but cats, rodents, chickens, snakes, pigs, even goats & horses!

How much does this event help the animals?

Both the photographer and the venue space at Washington Square Mall are donated. Santa is taking time out of his busy North Pole schedule and has volunteered to be at the mall both days. Volunteers help with registration. Therefore, almost the entire $30 fee will come to the animals of the VHS! This is the same popular, beloved Santa who has done VHS photos for many years. The event averages around $10,000 in proceeds, which will help the VHS care for the 4,000+ animals that are surrendered to the facility each year and provide low cost spay/neuter services.

LEGENDARY ROCK BAND REVEALS
FIRST 60 SHOWS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA

Tour Kicks Off February 28 in Hershey, PA

Tickets On Sale Friday, November 14 at 10 AM local time

Los Angeles, CA — November 6, 2025 — After more than five decades of electrifying performances, chart-topping hits, and timeless anthems, the iconic rock band JOURNEY is saying goodbye the only way they know how — with a thunderous, full-throttle Final Frontier Tour spanning cities across North America.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will be touring an all new stage production across North America with their catalog of global chart-topping hits, including “Don’t Stop Believin”, “Any Way You Want It”, “Faithfully”, “Lights” and more in a celebration of legacy, love and the fans who made it all possible. All dates will be A Special Evening With.

Presented by AEG Presents, Journey’s final tour launches February 28, 2026 at Giant Center in Hershey, PA and will span 60 cities across North America including stops in Austin, Atlantic City, Montreal, Vancouver and more before wrapping up the first leg in Laredo, TX. See all dates below.

JOURNEY features founder Neal Schon (lead guitarist), Jonathan Cain (keyboards, backing vocals), Arnel Pineda (lead vocals) Jason Derlatka (keyboards, vocals), Deen Castronovo (drums, vocals) and Todd Jensen (bass). Neal Schon is a 3x Hall of Fame inductee, having been inducted to the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame. Jon Cain is a recipient of two BMI songwriter awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Journey.

“This tour is our heartfelt thank you to the fans who’ve been with us every step of the way — through every song, every era, every high and low,” said Journey founder Neal Schon. “We’re pulling out all the stops with a brand-new production — the hits, the deep cuts, the energy, the spectacle. It’s a full-circle celebration of the music that’s brought us all together.”

“As its founding member, I carry the Journey torch to this day, wherever I go. The sentiment and spirit of the band will always remain,” Schon added. “While this marks a farewell to one powerful chapter of the Journey we’ve shared, I want everyone to know I’m not done. Music is still burning strong inside me, and there are new creative horizons ahead. This tour is both a thank you and the beginning of what’s next.”

“It’s been an incredible ride,” added Jonathan Cain, “We’ve shared our music with millions and this tour is about gratitude, connection and one last chance to feel that magic together. We wouldn’t want it any other way.”

“I’m honored to be part of this legacy and I’m grateful for having been welcomed with such open arms,” says Arnel Pineda. “Every night on stage has been a dream come true.”

Citi is the official card of the tour and cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning Tuesday, November 11 at 10 AM Local time through the Citi Entertainment program (for complete presale details visit www.citientertainment.com). The general public on sale is Friday, November 14 at 10 AM Local time.
