Hopkinsville native Sherria Hester has organized an event this weekend that she hopes will help people of the community heal both physically and mentally following one of the toughest years in recent memory.
The “Healing at Peace Park” event will run from 8 to noon and is free to the public. With racial unrest and a worldwide pandemic dominating people’s lives in the past 15 months, Hester said people need to recharge both their physical and mental batteries.
