A group in Knoxville, Iowa, is continuing its work to gather funds and support to renovate a local stadium that was built during the Great Depression. 

Ken Locke Stadium, built in 1938, has hosted local football games for decades. Pennie Sommar, co-chairman of the Save Our Stadium group created to advocate for Locke Stadium, told KNIA/KRLS News radio on Thursday that the group expressed their interest in continuing efforts to renovate the stadium, and are still working plans for it to be used as a multipurpose facility for athletics and community events and activities.
