Obi Toppin sits with daughter Remi and watches Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever win
On Sunday, Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin attended a battle between the Indiana Fever and Seattle Storm. He sat courtside as Caitlin Clark and the Fever took down the Seattle Storm for a big win.
Toppin sat with his daughter, Remi, and was seated next to Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton. Indiana crushed Seattle thanks to a strong second half, and Clark was dominant for much of the night. She finished with 23 points and nine assists in the win.
The Pacers mic’d up Toppin during the game, and some of his comments were shared on social media. He stayed for the entire game and called the experience “lit”. He had a great time.
During the action, he turned to his daughter and asked her some questions. “Hey Remi, what do you want to be when you grow up? [Are] you going to be a basketball player?” the Pacers forward asked. She nodded yes in response.
“[Are] you going to play right on this court with them?” he followed up. Remi nodded once again. “She said she’s going to play on this court with them,” Toppin then told Haliburton.
“I need to see a Caitlin Clark bucket. One of those that I’ve been seeing on Instagram.”

That Fever win over the Storm was one of their best of the season. They won by 17 to improve to 13-15, and it was their second-straight win against a quality opponent. Gainbridge Fieldhouse was loud as the Fever rained in threes during the fourth quarter.
All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell finished with 27 points for Indiana. Lexie Hull added 22 in a career night. It was an impressive victory for the ascending Fever, and Toppin got to take it all in.
KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, Ind. (WSBT) — It’s fair season and a new law uncorks adult beverage sales!
The new Indiana law will go into effect July 1st, making it legal to sell alcohol at county fairs.
The Kosciusko County Fair is set to kick off in just a few weeks and Indiana is officially allowing alcohol to be sold.
The law is bringing back something that’s not necessarily new to this fair.
Here’s what you need to know
The new law will go into effect on July 1st. It officially allows county fairs to apply for fee-free permits to sell alcohol.
Officials with the Kosciusko County Fair say they are participating this year. They are implementing the same guidelines they used when they sold alcohol just at grandstand events.
The difference now is, you can walk around the grounds with your drink. But strict guidelines will be in place for purchasing a drink.
“Actually, we’ve never had any issues. Because we card everybody, so we take that seriously. We also got the ID guides so we can identify the different types of IDs,” said Sheal Dirck, Treasurer of Kosciusko County Fair.
The Kosciusko County Fair already have guidelines in place, so this was an easy transition for the fair.
They will be the only vendors selling alcohol, which will make it easier to control distribution.
The sales will also bring in more revenue.
“Hopefully it allows to keep our ticket prices where they are because right now, insurance, utilities and everything else is going sky high and it’s hard to make ends meet,” said Dirck.
However, some fairs cannot participate because of the July 1st start date, like the Pulaski County Fair, which is going on right now. Pulaski County officials said it is on the agenda for next year. Whereas other fairs are choosing to sit this year out.
“We wanted not spend some time to, to see what that really means for us. It was not a decision we wanted to rush into. But we are happy for the option of it,” said Shelly Steury, GM of Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds.
Leaders at the St. Joseph County and Elkhart County Fairs said neither of them are selling alcohol.
The Kosciusko County Fair is the only fair that will sell alcohol in our area this year.
