Neewollah 2022 kicks off this week in Independence. The annual event has been going on for a long time according to this year's Generalissimo Denise Hines who is in charge of organizing the event.

Neewollah includes four parades, a carnival, a medallion hunt, a chili cook-off, and bandstand entertainment plus an annual musical which Hines selected herself.

The first performance of Peter Pan this Friday marks the beginning of the event. A full Neewollah schedule is available here.
