Rumble on the River: A Roaring Success for CASA of Jefferson County

Madison, Indiana, vibrated with energy and excitement May 24th as the inaugural Rumble on the River roared to life. Beginning at dawn, the Ohio Riverfront in Madison, Indiana was alive with the sounds of engines, cheers, and music, all thanks to the incredible turnout and support of the community.

The atmosphere was electric as participants showcased their skills and passion, captivating the crowds with their talent and dedication to history on wheels and the work of Court Appointed Special Advocates. Spectators overflowed Vaughn Drive, lending their enthusiastic support and creating a vibrant and unforgettable experience. Adding to the festive ambiance, talented musicians kept the energy high throughout the day, providing a perfect soundtrack to the rumble.

The success of Rumble on the River wasn't just about the participants and spectators. It was a testament to the incredible teamwork and dedication of countless individuals working behind the scenes. “We extend our deepest gratitude to Arvin Sango and Miller Automotive, who were our Main event sponsors, and the staggering 450 participants, our Rumble Crew, Vendors, Musicians, the Madison Fun Factory team, Sponsors, Donors, MPD, EMS, Swag Bag Partners, and Visit Madison team!

"This year was fantastic, a great starting point," said Roberts. "We learned a lot, saw what worked, and identified areas where we can improve. We're committed to making next year's Rumble even more unforgettable."

While details are still being finalized, one exciting addition has already been announced: the thunderous roar of a dedicated engine start at 10 AM and 2 PM! Imagine the riverbanks vibrating as powerful engines ignite in unison, creating a symphony of horsepower that will resonate through the valley.

"We wanted to add something truly spectacular, something that would really capture the essence of the event," Roberts explained. "The engine start will be a spectacle for all the senses, a pure adrenaline rush that everyone can enjoy. It will be incredible to hear the rumble on the river at those peak times."

This addition promises to be a highlight, and it's just a taste of what's to come. Organizers are actively gathering feedback from participants and attendees to shape the future of the event. Expect to see addtions to vendor options, interactive experiences, and overall flow of the event.

On behalf of CASA of Jefferson County, thank you for supporting the work our child advocates are doing everyday!
