Good morning, Elkhart.

Local boat owners took part in the 50th annual St. Joseph River Flotilla this afternoon in Elkhart—boats were decorated with a music theme and contestants competed for best display.

St. Joe’s River Rats hosted their 50th annual Independence Day flotilla on July 4 at 12:45 from the Six Span Bridge where decorated boats with a music theme earned a $50 restaurant gift card.

Boats launched from a public landing (accessed east of McDonald’s on State Road 120 and County Road 17) while spectators watched from Martin’s Landing along E. Jackson Blvd.

Early Saturday morning, the Elkhart Sheriff's Department responded to a two-vehicle crash when a 2015 Kia Sorento disregarded flashing red lights at the intersection of C.R 20 and C.R 7 and struck a 2006 Acura MDX, sending the Kia’s driver and passenger to Elkhart General Hospital for pain— the unlicensed Kia driver was cited for ignoring the signal.
