Even though Corey Mirabal had only lived in Hugoton since 2006, he had made many, many friends. Better known as “Pepsi Man”, he later worked for John Deere, 7-Up and Sara Lee. Corey was always helping everyone, and he didn’t know a stranger! Because of that, after he passed in 2008, the Mirabal family decided to begin a Scholarship Fund in his memory so everyone could remember Corey and his big heart.

This will be the second year to have a dinner and concert with Barry Ward performing. Barry is a family friend of the Mirabals who is originally from Copeland. He is a well – known performer. Barry has won many awards and performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City. He is currently one of the top five nominees in 2015 for Male Performer of the Year by the Western Music Association. Barry was inducted into the Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame in 2014. He has written and performed many songs and has also recorded his own albums.

The Scholarship Fund awards several scholarships to Stevens County students. If you would like to come out to support the Stevens County community, eat a great meal and meet an awesome entertainer, the dinner and concert will be at theMemorial Hall, 200 E. Sixth, Saturday, October 24 at 7:00 p.m. To
purchase tickets prior to the event, contact Tom Mirabal at 620-453-0063. You may also purchase tickets at the door.
