Last week at the Campbellsburg City Council meeting, Mayor David Gray updated council about the upcoming citywide celebration Campbellsburg Day set for Saturday, May 18 at 10 a.m.

“It’s going to be a good time,” he said. “It’s going to be as good, if not better, than last year.”

The mayor said the parking lot behind the town center is nearly booked full with booth vendors and food trucks have committed to the event. He also said Henry County musician Craig Cole will perform at the event in addition to musician Shayla McGuire.

The event also includes a parade, petting zoo, games for kids and bounce houses. The city has placed several roadside signs in the city to promote the event, which has now returned for the third straight year after a hiatus.

In council action taken during the meeting last week, council unanimously appointed Garold Price to serve with city council for the remainder of the term of elected councilwoman Aundrea Selter, who submitted her letter of resignation to Mayor Gray.

“She has moved out of city limits, so she can no longer serve on city council,” said the mayor. “She’ll be missed.”

Price said he previously served with council as an interim appointee under the mayoral administration of Bill Bell in the early 1980s when the Campbellsburg sewer system developed. City attorney Chelsey Brammell administered the oath of office to Price for his interim term that concludes at the end of this year.

Council also heard a complaint from Kenny Jones about a flag on property in Campbellsburg that displayed a profane four-letter word.

“I don’t think kids need to see that,” said Jones.

Mayor Gray said city police assistant chief Ricky Simmons asked the occupant at the property to remove the flag.

“He took it down,” the mayor said of the flag owner. “He actually put it back up a couple of days later.”

Mayor Gray added that Assistant Chief Simmons returned to the property to ask for the removal of the flag once again, but the owner refused to comply the second time.

Attorney Brammell said the city can research legal recourse to remove the flag.

“There may be an obscenity provision in the sign ordinance,” she said.

Councilman Bill Brown said the “sexually explicit word” used on the flag amounted to vulgarity.

Brammell added that council could pursue other legal recourse for removal of the flag.

“If it’s bigger than what is regular than what’s in the zoning ordinance, you can regulate that,” she said.
