Get Ready for 'Sharknado,' Donate School Supplies and More

We've put together this list of things going on in Irmo to help make your week a little brighter, easier and more fun. For a full list of things to do this week, look at the Patch calendar of events.

1. Sharks. Tornado. Enough said.

What's been described as the best worst made-for-TV movie in history will have a special showing at Columbiana Grande Stadium 14 in the Harbison area. Get ready for "Sharknado." 

The SyFy channel original will play at midnight Friday. Good news if you missed the two showings on SyFy this month. 

2. Get Those Babies Moving

Head to the Irmo branch of the Lexington County Public Library Wednesday morning for "Music & Movement" for the little ones. The session for children from birth to 2 years old starts at 9:30 a.m. The session for children ages 3 to 5 starts at 10:30 a.m.

Can't make it today? Catch "Music & Movement" at these times next Wednesday, August 7. 

3. "How to Eat Like a Child"

Have you forgotten how to loosen up and be a kid? Let these kids give you a few pointers. 

"How to Eat Like a Child," performed by the Chapin Theatre Company and directed by Tiffany Dinsmore, is a "musical romp through the joys and sorrows of being a kid." 

The show opens Friday night at the Old Chapin Firehouse at 102 Lexington Ave. in Chapin and continues Saturday and Sunday. Get your tickets here.

4. The Final Countdown

Lexington-Richland District Five Schools are back in session in 20 days.

What happened to the summer?

On the plus side, it means we are closer to football season! Have you checked out your 2013 high school football schedule.

5. Donate School Supplies

Speaking of school starting back, some children in the Midlands are in need of school supplies, and you can help! 

The S.C. Bar Young Lawyers Division has teamed up with The Cooperative Ministry to collect backpacks and other school supplies for donation to schools and students throughout the Midlands.
