Jettie Rhodes Day helps build a stronger community


The Urbana community has the chance to come together and enjoy a free afternoon of fun at the 27th Annual Martin Luther King Jettie Rhodes Day celebration, June 28, from Noon - 4 p.m., at King Park

Martin Luther King Jettie Rhodes Neighborhood Day was founded by the late Mrs. Jettie Rhodes. Mrs. Rhodes had a famous quote: “Who’s your neighbor?”

This day is all about giving back to the community with fun, family, networking, and a diverse atmosphere. Enjoy free food (while supplies last), live entertainment, kids’ activities, raffle prizes, and a wealth of resourceful information provided by various local nonprofits. In addition, you may recognize some of our public officials and community members who volunteer for this event each year.

The event goes on rain or shine. Call (217) 367-1544 for more information.

We hope to see the entire community out at King Park on June 28!
