Williamsburg City School said: The Williamsburg family mourns the passing of Nannie L. Hays. Ms. Hays spent her entire educational career teaching music at Williamsburg City School. She served all of her career as the Band Director, but also served throughout her career as High School Choir Director, Elementary Music teacher, High School Health teacher, and Jacket Yearbook Sponsor. Nannie was very active in assisting with countless important events at our school like the all-sports athletic banquet, hospitality rooms, and all of the elementary school plays to name just a few. Nannie was a WHS graduate and played a vital role in the WHS Alumni Association.

As a seventh grade student I walked into the band room at Williamsburg City School with my mind made up. I intended to join the marching âjacketâ band like my dad had in the late 70s. Dad had played the trumpet, my uncle Greg had played the drums, and my aunt Monica had played the clarinet and flute along with being a member of the color guard. My mother was on the rifle team while at Whitley County High School.
I had no idea how to play a woodwind let alone a brass instrument but I knew I wanted my picture framed in the hallway like all the rest. There was something special about those framed still shots of the band.
Life in the COVID-19 era will be getting a lot more like normal this summer in Williamsburg with the return of community yard sales, summer block parties, the Fourth of July celebration, and Old Fashioned Trading Days.
“We are basically going to try to get things back to normal this summer as much as we can,” said Williamsburg Main Street Manager Nannie Hays.
The first planned event is a craft show planned for May 8 at the Williamsburg Tourism and Convention Center.
Hays noted that the tables will be spaced at least six feet apart, and social distancing rules would be in place, which means that there won’t be as many vendors as might ordinarily be the case.
