Federal, State and Local Governments Observe Thanksgiving

 If you have business to conduct with a governmental agency, plan to do it today or wait until next week. Federal, state and local government offices are closed on Thanksgiving, and many are taking the following day off as well to give their employees a long weekend.

Mail will not be delivered Thursday. Indiana BMV branches will resume regularly-scheduled hours on Saturday. Also, municipalities like Knox and North Judson with Thursday trash pickup routes are pushing them back by a day. Customers should set their cans out Thursday evening in anticipation of Friday service.
