Knox Mayor Dennis Estok is looking for volunteers to help with Family Fun Day on Saturday, July 2 at Wythogan Park.
He asked that anyone interested in helping during the day to call Peggy Travis at Knox City Hall at 574-772-4553.
Parade applications are due by Friday, June 24.
The 4th of July Parade will begin at 1 p.m., followed by fun activities for the entire family including food and music beginning at 2 p.m. at Wythogan Park. A beer garden will also be offered. The fireworks show will begin at approximately 9:30 p.m. CT.
Details of the Family Fun Day will be included in an upcoming newscast.
During Tuesday night’s Knox City Council meeting, the council members unanimously agreed to give $1,000 to Community Services of Starke County to assist with costs associated with programs and services there.
They also unanimously approved a temporary loan resolution that would allow the city to borrow $40,000 from the CEDIT Fund to pay for the fire equipment bond. The fund would be repaid when the city receives the property tax distribution from the county.
