In 2021 the Kiwanis Club of DeKalb, the DeKalb Rotary Club, and the DeKalb American Legion Post 66 are all celebrating their 100th anniversary of their founding. With that milestone in common, there will be a community wide anniversary celebration at the DeKalb Municipal Band Concert on August 3rd. The Municipal Band Concerts are held at 7:30 pm in Hopkins Park at the Bandshell. Conductor Kirk Lundbeck has planned a special program that will recognize and honor these clubs. Since no celebration is complete without cake, a cake will be served by members of the organizations prior to the concert.
In addition to this special concert, members of the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs are selling raffle tickets as a fundraiser to support the philanthropic works in the DeKalb Community by both clubs. The winners will be drawn and announced at the concert on the 3rd. Tickets are available for $25 each and can be purchased by contacting Rotary at https://dekalbrotary.org, or Kiwanis at https://dekalbkiwanis.org.
Tickets for a drive through dinner are also available to allow concert goers to have dinner at the park. Inboden’s will be preparing a dinner that includes chicken or pork chop and sides at a cost of $15 (or $25 for two). Meals will be conveniently available for pick up at the Hopkins Park shelter from 4:30 to 7:00 pm on August 3rd.
