Tangerine Blues Fest Receives Sponsorship
Expect more seating, food trucks and more on Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Tangerine Greenway in Gulfport.
The 5th annual Tangerine Blues Fest will feature a few "upgrades" this year including a presenting sponsor.
Tyrone Square Mazda has agreed to a $5,000 sponsorship for the event. Organizers say this is great news because that means they'll be able to spend less to put together the free event and give more to All Children's Hospital this year.
Last year So49 donated $5,000 to All Children's Hospital. The money more than quadrupled its donation from $1,200 in 2010.
