IT'S FIESTA TIME!

Kanopolis is the place to be on Saturday. It's fiesta time...and that means tacos, tostados, hot tamales and American food, for the uninitiated. Serving starts and 11:00 a.m. and continues throughout the day. With careful timing, you can eat at 11:00 and return again about 6:00.

It is held in the basement and on the grounds of the Catholic Church. Follow the cars.

If you linger all day, you are bound to see almost everyone who lives in Ellsworth County. It’s a favorite county event and a good thing for Kanopolis. Great food always draws crowds.

There will be Mass at 4:00 and, following that, events for the kids and bingo for all. It’s nice to sit around and visit, particularly if the weather cooperates. I hope they will be serving pie again this year. If so, you'll find it outside next to the hamburgers.

Starting at 8:30, after all the food has been devoured, you can dance in the Community Center to the music of The Eclipse.

Your support for this event would be appreciated.
