The Mt. Carmel City Council last night took final preparations for this Friday night’s 200th birthday bash. Acting as liquor control commissioner, Mayor Bill Hudson last night officially approved a beer garden to be held in the former Hadley’s lot at 416 Market Street.
The beer garden will be operated by the Eagles Club as the lot will be cordoned off with ID’s being checked at the entrance and no beer being allowed out of the designated area.
Bicentennial chairman Shawn Storkman said the 300 and 400 blocks of Market Street will be blocked off early Friday morning in preparation of the Kentucky Headhunters concert that night.
Tickets remain available for the steak dinner prepared by Hogg Heaven Bar-Be-Que and the Rotary Club. Food trucks will also be set up in the 300 block with the concert stage being at the 5th Street intersection.
Volunteers are welcome to help clean up the party area this evening from 5 to 7pm. Crews will be spraying and pulling weeds and picking up trash.
