Our Hospice of South Central Indiana matched last year’s record of $127,000 from its annual Labor Day weekend concert with headliner Blue Oyster Cult.
The concert drew an estimated 7,000 people to Mill Race Park in Columbus. The event set a new record with sales of 5,523 total raffle tickets, said Suzie Singer, Our Hospice marketing and planning manager.
