CONWAY — After months of planning, the 100th anniversary of Kennett High School festivities will kick off tonight followed by events on Friday and all day Saturday.
“The weather is looking beautiful,” Saralyn Smith, chair of the 100th Anniversary Committee, said Wednesday. “The next three days are all going to be great. Everyone has been wonderful and wanted to step up to make this an event we’ll never forget.”
