Pence Inauguration Set For January 14

The inauguration ceremony for Indiana Gov.-elect Mike Pence will be held Jan. 14 at the Statehouse.

His staff announced Monday that Pence will be sworn into office during a ceremony open to the public but that registrations will be required. Those registrations will be accepted starting in mid-December.

Activities preceding the inauguration include a family event at the Dallara IndyCar Factory near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Jan. 12 and a black-tie optional inaugural ball at the JW Marriott Hotel in downtown Indianapolis. Pence is also to attend a worship service Jan. 13 at Butler University.

The Republican congressman won election last month to take the place of term-limited Gov. Mitch Daniels.
