The city of Independence will be celebrating MLK Day next weekend, with a food fight at center stage.

 

There will be a Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Community Celebration on January 14th. Independence Chamber of Commerce President Lisa Wilsa says the food fight allows for students to have some friendly competition.

 

Adults can also contribute to the food collection, bringing donations to G&W Foods or the Chamber of Commmerce before January 12th.

 

The food fight will not be the only thing to do during the celebration. Wilson says there will be other ways to get involved as well.
