Chimney sweep training, Bloomington Speedway celebrates 100 years, anti-LGBTQ legislation | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

As boomers age out of the workforce, the need for skilled trade workers is on the rise. Ahead, we visit an institute in Plainfield that is the only one in the U.S. offering in-person chimney sweep training.

The Bloomington Speedway is celebrating its 100 th season this year, where some families have been racing for generations.  But racing comes with enormous financial and personal risks.

And we look at some of the anti-LGBTQ legislation passed at the statehouse this year.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
