The Kimball Event Center was put up for bids following a special Kimball City Council meeting on Nov. 8, 2016, with the caveat that it be used in a similar fashion to its current use – as an event venue and community center. “The price was set to encourage a buyer (at $10,000). They would receive almost everything in the building, such as kitchen equipment, dishes, tables, chairs, and fitness equipment,” council member Christy Warner said. “That makes it a good deal but the buyer would have a true investment in making the Event Center succeed...

Originally it was a pagan tradition to light candles in reverence of the coming of s...
