Mayor Randall Weddle, with London Police Department, KY, and London City Fire Department met with the community to show their support to residents.

Meeting with people in their environment encourages open communication about their needs and gives residents an opportunity to talk about any concerns they have.

We were also able to interact with some of the children in the area, with the Fire Department giving out fire safety bags and an inside view of first responder vehicles.

Having the chance to serve through positive interactions is emphasized by city leadership. We must ensure every day that we remember why we are here and what kind of community we want to leave to our children. Thank you everyone for having us!

What a great weekend!

It takes a lot of groups working behind the scenes to make the World Chicken Festival possible. Everything from setup, operations, lost person searchers, security, safety, tourism, and cleanup must be thought out and provided. Everyone did an amazing job.

Mayor Randall Weddle would like to thank all involved.

Smash Mouth stepped on the gas Saturday night and didn’t let up in front of a massive crowd at the World Chicken Festival. The popular 90’s band quickly ran through all their favorite hits including “All Star,” “Then the Morning Comes,” and “Walking on the Sun.” Col. Sanders even joined the party on the stage and showed some impressive chicken festival moves.

The rousing concert was a perfect finale to what has been a great summer of live music at Town Center Park. Headlining acts at the WCF Stage of Stars were presented by London Tourism and Parks.
