NORTH WEBSTER — North Webster Town Council authorized the letting of bids for the demolition of the building at 611 N. Main St., after a hearing that began the council meeting Tuesday evening, July 21. Known as the former home of Penguin Point and a drive-in, the property met the criteria outlined in a North Webster ordinance and Indiana state code as being unsafe, vacant, blighted and unable to be used, according to Police Chief Greg Church.

The children of the recently deceased Wilma Mitchell presented the North Webster Food Pantry with $1,380 given in memory of the long-time volunteer by family and friends. “Without Wilma, we would never have had a food pantry at all,” explained J.B. Routh, board president.
