Knox County Conversations August Roundtable

Are you interested in reminiscing about the past?

Do you remember the “old days” in Mount Vernon and Knox County? (Even if those “old days” do not seem all that long ago)? 

Do you like talking about—or listening to others talk about—local history?

Do you just enjoy lunch and pleasant conversations? 

If any of that interests you, please join us for a Knox County Conversations event at the Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County, on Thursday, August 20, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room.

This month, we invite participants to enjoy a light lunch as they share memories of county fairs, state fairs, world fairs, or any other fair or festival that comes to mind...or whatever else comes up.
