Back to School Bash Collecting School Supplies

Some local people want to help Six Mile Elementary with their school supply needs – so they're throwing a party.

The Back to School Bash, a celebration of music and arts, will be held from 2pm until early evening Saturday, August 24 at Ponderosa Park in Six Mile.

The bash is being sponsored by Mt. Olivet Wesleyan Church with help from the town of Six Mile.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket out to the park and enjoy music, art, bounce houses and fun!

Performers include 10 Cent Cotton, the Sweet Potato Pie Kids, Mark Webb and Russ Chapman, The Near Death Experience, Mount Olivet Wesleyan Church Band, Tony Tidwell and The Wobblers.

There's no cost to attend, but organizers suggest a donation of school supplies (construction paper, hand sanitizer, paper, pencils, notebooks, folders, tissue, 3-ring binders, glue sticks, colored pencils, etc.)

Creekside Bar-be-cue will be selling BBQ during the fest, and have pledged ten percent of profits toward the purchase of school supplies for the supply drive.
