Celebrate Parsons/Katy Days Endowed Fund

Goal: $9,642.00

Specific Need

While there are some revenue generating activities at Katy Days, most of the events are free. Without donations from local businesses and individuals, the expenses for the festival could not be covered. The Celebrate Parsons Katy Days Endowed Fund builds an endowment to help provide funds for this wonderful festival year after year. Please visit our website for more information.

Profile

In 1870 the first Missouri-Kansas-Texas train rolled into a new town in southeast Kansas. This town would become Parsons, and the railroad would be remembered as the Katy! One-hundred fifty years later, over Memorial Day weekend, Parsons celebrates its railroad heritage and town history with the Katy Days Festival. Renew old friendships, rekindle memories and enjoy three days of food, fun, entertainment and railroad-related activities.
