Ferry from Northern Kentucky to Indiana free to ride until August

The Rabbit Hash-Rising Sun ferry has done more than just connect two communities. It's also been a boon to businesses. It was hard to find a parking spot near the general store in Rabbit Hash on Monday, and residents said that's uncommon but due in part to the early success of the ferry. "It's hard to tell," Rabbit Hash General Store volunteer Jay Brandt said. "Is it the novelty? People trying (the store) out for the first time? We hope it's sustained." Rabbit Hash residents said they have noticed an increase in new faces around town.
