'Neon Glow Community Pep Rally' kicks off fall sports in a big way

Barbourville Tourism hosted a "Neon Glow Community Pep Rally" on Thursday, August 22, 2024 on Court Square in downtown Barbourville. The event featured athletes from area schools and Union Commonwealth University, and was attended by a large crowd of community onlookers. The event was geared to "Coming together to build a community to last for many years to come," as Keith Greene, KCEOC Director of Communications, told the crowd.

The rally was followed by a free movie featuring "The Blind Side."
