Kirby celebration cancelled

The first annual Kirby Days event, scheduled for July 8, has been cancelled for 2017. Jessica Slagle, Kirby Days Committee member, said due to unforeseen circumstances with the event, the Kirby Town Council made the decision to postpone it.

Slagle noted even though the event is cancelled for this year, they have started planning now for the event to happen in 2018.

Among the activities planned for Kirby Days were a horseshoe tournament, kickball, street games and tours of the historical jail. Those who would like to help plan the event for next year are encouraged to contact Slagle at 864-9466 or 921-9765.
