CLARKSVILLE, TN – Manna Café founder Kenny York is being honored on Saturday, May 20, with an event that is truly in the Kenny spirit. Screaming Eagle Ready Mix is hosting an afternoon of live music, food trucks, a silent auction, and great fellowship. The Kenny York Memorial Fun Day is the first event of a weekend of recognition for Kenny and the contribution he made in serving the hungry and homeless in Montgomery and Stewart Counties.
“We want to celebrate the man Kenny York, who has done more to help his fellow man than the majority of churches in this town. Instead of just lip service, he bolted into action to assist the needy,” explains Duane King, Screaming Eagle Ready Mix general manager.
