Lebo

The Coffey County Republican reported that a committee of Lebo citizens is working on the possibility of constructing a train park in Lebo for the purpose of safe observation of trains. The committee is looking at the potential impact of a train park might have on tourism to Lebo and Coffey County. About 65 to 80 trains pass through Lebo in a 24-hour period.

Admire

Admire will have a Fall Festival on Sept. 19 that will kick off with a horseshoe tournament at 9 a.m. Day’s festivities will include a variety of activities. Teams of two can register in advance for the horseshoe tournament for $15 by contacting Ron Kuhn at (620) 344-0066 or at the park from 7:30 to 8:30 the day of the tournament. The winning team will receive cash prizes and t-shirts. Breakfast is available at the church and vendors will be serving lunch.

A talent show will begin at 6 p.m. with no registrations taken after 5 p.m. There are three age divisions: 17 and under, 18 and up and professional. All talents appropriate for a family show are welcome. Contestants needing music are to bring a CD. Vocal contestants cannot sing with a vocal recording — recordings must be instrumental only. The entry “fee” is a non-perishable food item for the Admire Food Bank. There will be a cash prize. Registration information for the talent show may be had by calling Stacy Ruggiero at (620) 343-5379.
