KCBD-TV (NBC channel 11, Lubbock) will bring its 20th Annual Community Coverage tour to Spur Tuesday, July 26, 2022.
Plans have been in the works for some weeks, with the City of Spur working closely with KCBD staff on event, news and advertising fronts.
Each summer since 2002, KCBD has visited five different towns in the 23 counties they report on in their broadcast coverage. In 2017, the station brought their tour to Spur for the first time ever, and many folks recall it as one of the most enjoyable occasions in recent memory. The event was held on the football field at Spur’s Charles A. Jones Memorial Stadium.
Anchors Abner Euresti and Karin McCay, the longest serving local anchor team in the U.S. and now in their 42nd year at KCBD, will return for an evening of food, fun, games, prizes and news coverage.
As in 2017, they will be joined by meterologist John Robison and sports anchor Pete Christy.
The KCBD news team will broadcast their 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts live from Jones Stadium and will interview key figures from the Dickens County area. Several Dickens County organizations and other sponsors will have booths at the event, and the public is invited to the live broadcast. Booths will be set up from 5 to 8 p.m. Free hot dogs, Pepsi and lawn games will be available.
KCBD will also sponsor Beat Pete Bingo following each broadcast—an opportunity to beat sports director Pete Christy and win prizes.
Downtown will be the focus of the broadcast as well, and some downtown segments have already been filled.
Any community organization or vendor wishing to set up around the field that evening is welcome to do so, according to Spur City Hall.
