Where’s Amy? Carmel readies for the 100th running of the Indy 500

CIC COM 0315 WA Flag Raising 7

City of Carmel clerk/treasurer Christine Pauley, Carmel City Council members Jeff Worrell, Bruce Kimball and Kevin Rider celebrate the flag raising ceremony and proclamation with Verizon IndyCar Series driver Ed Carpenter and Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard.

“Where’s Amy?”… I attended a special 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 flag ceremony with Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and Verizon IndyCar Series driver Ed Carpenter. Carpenter and Brainard rolled up to City Hall in a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to officially kick off the event. Carmel became the first Hoosier municipality – beyond the Town of Speedway – to raise a 100th Running flag ahead of the milestone race. Brainard presented Carpenter with an official proclamation before the flag raising ceremony, and Carpenter gave the City of Carmel huge kudos of appreciation for the honor.
