We’ve had some tough years during the Scheid Diesel Extravaganza — especially with traffic making it hard for our friends, families, and staff to get in and out of the facility. Honestly, we expected more of the same this year… but WOW, that has not been the case.

Before the event, we spoke with the Scheid Diesel team to talk through past challenges. And when traffic started backing up on Thursday, local law enforcement jumped right in and took charge. They made sure everyone connected to Happiness Bag could get in and out safely, and today has been just as smooth. Lots of cars, lots of activity — but no stress. They’ve been absolutely fantastic.

A huge THANK YOU to:
Vigo County Sheriff's Office • Terre Haute Police Department • Shelburn Police Department • Indiana State Police * Clay County Sheriffs Office
Your support truly made a difference for our programs and our people!

If you’re out and about this weekend, expect heavier traffic than usual. Growth comes with a few bumps in the road — bigger events, more visitors, and yes, a few inconveniences — but it’s all part of moving forward together as a community.
