Mary Thompson Community Day set for Sunday

Jul. 10—The City of Danville Human Relations Commission and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Committee (MLK Committee) will sponsor the 30th Mary Thompson Annual Community Day on Sunday, July 14, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. The event will be held Downtown Danville at the Temple Plaza.

The name change, Mary Thompson Community Day, was made by the MLK Committee to honor Mary Thompson's service to the MLK Committee, which includes over 25 years serving as the MLK Committee Chair.

The program will feature "As One Gospel Singers," a gospel group from Indianapolis. Delaine Robinson, the winner of Danville's Got Talent, will also perform.

Free food, such as barbeque, beverages and ice cream will be served. There will also be activities for children, ages 4-12. The event will include free prizes. This event is open to the public, and there is no admission fee.

In case of rain, Mary Thompson Community Day will be held at the Masonic Temple, 109 West North St.
