INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Some business owners said they are feeling the effects after two big events brought more people downtown. First it was Disney on Ice last week, followed by Jam Fest which brought hundreds of cheerleaders and their families to Indianapolis over the weekend.
While it’s too soon to know exactly how much money the events brought in, the out of town visitors kept executive chef at Weber Grill Matt Kovacinski busy.
“It was cool to see, it’s been a long time since I think any of us have seen something exciting and fun like that. We were packed all weekend, so it was nice, kind of like getting back to normal almost,” Kovacinski said.
