SUMMARY:8th of August Emancipation Day Celebration

Although the origins as to why this date was chosen vary\, festivities have been held around this date since the late 1800s. Community celebrations in the region often included the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation\, a well-known speaker\, a parade\, and baseball games. \nThe afternoon will feature an official proclamation honoring Emancipation Day\, special historic readings\, activities for children\, food trucks\, genealogy information\, and more. Food trucks\, vendors\, and activities include the following: \n\nG’s BBQ\nDJ’s Homemade Lemonade\nJanae’s Italian Ice\nBig Fellaz\nDifferent Strokes canvas painting\nGreek Yard Show\nChristian County Health Department mobile testing unit\nLeague of Women Voters voter registration\nStorytime featuring children’s books by bell hooks\nMusic\, games\, and more!\n\nSupper Club\, too!\nThe Museum and HRC continue their celebration of the Eighth of August with their next meeting of the Supper Club on Thursday\, August 8 at 6pm. This month\, the group will gather at Pioneers Memorial Complex to enjoy barbecue\, burgoo\, and sweet tea prepared by the men’s civic organization. The Pioneers will share about their history\, the work they do to support the community\, and their catering operation. Tickets are available online or at the Pennyroyal Area Museum. \nFor more information\, call the Museum (270-887-4270) or the Human Rights Commission (270-887-4010). \n*East 9th Street between Liberty and Virginia streets and Liberty Street between 9th & 10th streets will be closed during the event.
