EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) – Plans are in place in Evansville to celebrate the accomplishments of Olympic swimming gold medalist Lilly King later this month. Mayor Lloyd Winnecke said yesterday the 19-year-old will meet with children Sept. 24th to talk about aspirations and using hard work to meet goals. She’ll then ride a fire truck to Bosse Field, where she will lead a yoga class. She’ll also receive a key to the city. The event is free and open to the public. King won two gold medals at the recent Summer Olympics in the 100-meter breaststroke and on the 400 medley relay team. She is a graduate of Evansville’s Reitz High School and attends Indiana University .

King also is scheduled to be grand marshal of the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival parade Oct. 8th.
