Mayor Rod for Elkhart

06/21/2026

What a fantastic weekend! The cooler temperatures cooperated in helping to make the 38th Annual Jazz Festival another success with music of all types. Food trucks, fireworks, musicians, dancing all helped with blending a delightful event in downtown Elkhart. Thank you to those that helped plan, the volunteers, sponsors and all of the visitors who came in from out of town as well as our own locals to participate in this great event!

A big thanks to all who participated with their sponsorships or golf teams in the 6th Mayor Rod for Elkhart golf tournament last Thursday, sponsored by the Committee to Elect Mayor Rod Roberson at Bent Oak Golf Club.
92 golfers filled the course with great shots, not so great shots, fun and most of all their support! We thank you all!
