Summer is flying by, which means it’s almost time for another school year!

Mark your calendars and join us for our Back to School Bash on Saturday, July 25, from 12:00-3:00 PM at the Knott County Sportsplex.

We’ll have free school supplies while they last, free food, and a fun afternoon for the kids and families of Knott County. We hope you’ll come out, visit with friends, and help us send our students back to school with a great start.

We can’t wait to see everyone on July 25! 🎒✏️📚

🇺🇸 Join us Friday, July 3, at the Knott County Sportsplex for our Independence Day Celebration! Festivities begin at 4:00 PM with FREE food, live music, games, basketball, volleyball, co****le, vendors, and a spectacular fireworks show at dark.

Due to the extreme heat, all live music performances will be moved indoors at the Knott County Sportsplex so everyone can stay cool while enjoying the entertainment.

Be sure to bring your swimsuit and sunscreen! We’ll have TWO water slide inflatables—one for younger kids and one for older kids—so everyone can cool off and have fun. Don’t forget to bring your lawn chairs for the outdoor festivities!

In addition to the FREE food provided by the Knott County Fiscal Court and Knott County Tourism, we’ll also have food vendors on-site with additional food available for purchase, along with other local vendors throughout the event.

We can’t wait to celebrate Independence Day with everyone. We’ll see you Friday! 🇺🇸🎆
