The City of Knox is cautiously moving ahead with plans for summer events. Mayor Dennis Estok told the city council last week that he’s booked two bands for July’s Fun Day in the Park, while Magic Bus will perform the night before, thanks to a grant from the Rural Indiana Performance Fund.
“I’m just hoping that things are a lot better by July,” Estok said. “If they stay like they are right now, we could probably have the parade. We could probably have the Friday night, social-distanced. I don’t know about the alumni Knox reunion, although we’re going to be meeting over that here, shortly. I’ve got to call a meeting and start that process up.”
He said vendor contracts will include a clause allowing the city to cancel, depending on COVID-19. Estok said he’s also booked a band for September’s Fall Bash, but he’s decided to hold off before scheduling any additional concerts. Plans are also moving ahead for three movies in the park.
