If you're anything like me, you're already mentally prepping for summer break and that inevitable moment when your kid looks at you with those tired eyes and says, "I'm sooo bored." Don’t worry, I’ve got just the spot to save your sanity and theirs.

Northwestern High School hosted the annual Howard County Track and Field Meet, with Western, Eastern, and Taylor also competing.

Summer in Kokomo doesn’t officially begin until downtown is filled with the sweet aroma of strawberries and the buzz of live music—and that time is almost here! The 2025 Kokomo Strawberry Festival returns for its 27th year on Friday, June 6, and we are so ready.

Howard County boasts an impressive lineup of baseball talent. But as the regular season winds down, chances to cheer on these athletes are becoming limited. Your support means a lot as they push for conference championships — and maybe even a state title.

Let’s take a look at this week’s key matchups and offer a few predictions.

As summer approaches and schools prepare to close their doors for break, one thing remains open in Kokomo: access to healthy, nourishing meals for local children. Thanks to the Kokomo School Corporation and the Summer Feeding Program, families experiencing food insecurity can rest a little easier knowing their kids won’t go hungry while school is out.

At The Kokomo Post, we believe that every fallen hero deserves to be remembered by name and story—especially those from right here in our own community. If you have a loved one, a friend, or a neighbor who gave their life while serving in the military, we want to hear their story. You can submit a photo, share a few lines about who they were, and help us ensure their name lives on in the hearts of Kokomo.

This Week’s Game of the Week

Western brought the fire on Senior Night, rolling past Taylor 14–2! 🔥

AJ Helmberger dealt 7 strikeouts over 4 scoreless innings, and Gavin Denton launched a no-doubt homer to get the Panthers started. A 13-run third inning blew the game wide open.

Panthers roll, Titans head back to the drawing board.

Kokomo just got a little weirder — and a lot tastier. Brick St. Deli & Notion Co., the newest spot on the iconic Brick Buckeye Street, is making waves with its mysterious vibe and delicious sandwiches.
