Kewanee had quite a weekend with multiple events happening everywhere all at once.
While treasure hunters shopped the numerous sales held for the inaugural K-Town Yard Sale, others got their BBQ fix at the Flemish American Club to support the restoration of the iconic windmill sign. And dozens turned out for the first Cinco de Mayo Festival held on Saturday in Northeast Park.
Here’s some photos of the events:
K-Town Yard Sales
Over 35 residents held yard sales throughout the weekend from Thursday through Saturday, May 1-3. The citywide sale marks the first of its kind and follows other towns such as Geneseo and Annawan who hold similar sales.
On Saturday, food trucks Azteca, Top That and Uncle Bud’s Apple Cider Slush joined in the event to offer lunch for hungry shoppers. Over at the Flemish American Club, PhatBoys BBQ served customers and part of the proceeds benefited the windmill sign restoration.




The First Presbyterian Church, which holds an annual garage sale and bake sale in April, held the event a week and joined in with the K-Town Yard Sale.

Cinco de Mayo Festival
Residents turned out on Saturday, May 3, to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. The festival offered music and vendors selling food and other items, as well as a Children’s Entrepreneur Market, where young vendors between the ages of 8-17 showcased and sold their goods. Other fun activities included bouncy houses and crafts.
