Tonight is the biggest night of the year for area bars as family and friends come into town in preparation for their Thanksgiving celebrations. To be sure everyone enjoys the holiday responsibly, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department and Evansville Police Department will be conducting a DUI checkpoint someone in town to make sure no one is driving when they shouldn't be.

The checkpoint is funded by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute through a grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and will take place at an undisclosed location based off "local traffic collision data" between 10:00 p.m. Wednesday night and 4:00 a.m. Thursday morning according to the Sheriff's Department.
