0:00It's September 10th. This is Lincoln News today, driven by AI. Yorkfest is gearing up for another year of community celebration. And they've already set the date for the 2026 parade, September 12th, kicking off at 10 a.m. This year's festivities begin Thursday evening with a family fun night at Kilgore Memorial Library, running from 5 to 7 p.m. Complete with an Ann, outdoor farmers market. The chairman mentioned that the final parade of the year is always a big one, and they're looking to accommodate as many teams as possible. Last year, they had at least three teams, and they're confident they can field even more this season, both during and after the main event. The event promises a variety of activities starting Thursday afternoon, including dance performances and a bike race through historic sites. Tuesday will feature craft sessions and a special presentation on local history with a focus on the construction of the Kilgore Memorial Library, which was dedicated at Yorkfest back in 1986.

1:00Later in the week, expect the concert featuring local talent, followed by a DJ set in a karaoke night. The fair will also be open, offering free throws from 7 to 8 p.m. with local vendors like coffee woods and vassers best. The schedule includes a community art project where participants can create and add their own designs to a public display. It's all building up to a full weekend of entertainment, culminating in a grand finale event on Saturday night.
