The Knox City Council members received praise from the WoodStarke representatives this week for their support of the first festival of its kind on Sept. 13.
The city was presented a thank you note for their efforts. The festival featured local artists, local music, HealthLinc’s mobile dental unit, a cornhole tournament, dance and exercise classes, a Moving Starke County Forward One Mile at a Time walk and a county-wide scavenger hunt.
MJ Bendt explained that the organization will organize the event again next year. She added that the festival happened on a budget of $400, half of which was provided by the City of Knox.
A date for next year’s event has not yet been determined.
