Two Hendricks County tourism leaders named 2026 Hoosier Hospitality Award winners

Two Hendricks County tourism leaders — Olivia Head and Micaela Mendel — were among 18 people statewide recognized with 2026 Hoosier Hospitality Awards, the linked report and a Hendricks County tourism release say. The awards were presented during a ceremony in Indianapolis in late October.

Mendel is listed as a 2026 Hoosier Hospitality Award winner in the Visit Indiana awards release; the Current Publishing story cites an example of Mendel arranging a sensory‑friendly experience for a guest at Pinheads Brownsburg as part of the service cited in the reporting for the honor.
