Here’s What You Can’t Bring to HydroFest!

Evansville Police Department works very hard to make sure our community is safe, and with big events like HydroFest that are expected to draw a large crowd, EPD wants to make the event as safe as possible for everyone.  

Yesterday the Evansville Police Department posted a status to their Facebook.  They remind us to always be on the lookout for suspicious activity and report it as soon as possible to the police.  Here's what they said:
