A local family that lost their son over two years ago is carrying on his legacy by bringing joy to other children through a donation-based festival.

A former pharmacy technician at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Kerrville has been arrested after federal authorities say he stole hydrocodone and oxycodone prescriptions.

KERVILLE, TX In a statement on social media and its website, organizers of the Kerrville Folk Festival say the rescheduled folk festival will not be held in October and is now taking donations to stay afloat amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Then we begin sales for RV spaces, and Season Tickets to fund our off-season operation for the coming Festival. Not having a festival in May changed everything for the organization, according to the statement. The KFFF Directors have donated their entire purchases back to the Festival and are hopeful that our community will do the same. Details of the foundations about the October virtual festival will be published when they become available.
