LIBERAL FIRST
Liberal's leading source for news and views
Saturday evening saw the Liberal community ring in the Christmas season through the annual Downtown Christmas Parade, and as coordinator Earl Watt tells it, the conditions could not have been better.
May 23, 1933 was a mostly normal day for the people of Liberal.
Late that afternoon, however, the community would forever be changed as a 600-yard wide tornado bore down and caused $750,000 ($18.5 million in today’s money) in damage. Homes, schools and other city buildings would end up being leveled or severely damaged, and five people were killed.
In November, ‘That’ Liberal Band directors Andrew Johnson and Benjamin Hogan submitted student names for the Kansas State University Concert Band Clinic in January. The band learned Wednesday 30 LHS band students were selected to attend.
The holiday season is officially here, and while many people see it as a time of joy and fun, there are also many who find it a time of anxiety and unhappiness.
With that in mind, there are some measures people can take to make sure they remain okay throughout the season.
Men's Night Out will be this Sunday at 6 p.m. at Faith Tabernacle Church at 514 N. Kansas Ave.
The Sunday Night Football game featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers will be shown, and Tom Patterson will be a featured speaker.
A lasagna dinner will be provided.
All men along with their sons are welcome.
