Literacy on the Lawn

The Troup High theatre department is spearheading a big community event we are calling LITERACY ON THE LAWN. All proceeds are being used to purchase programs and/or supplies for our elementary schools. FOR $15, YOU CAN JOIN ANY OF THESE EVENTS! 5K ZOMBIE RUN - WE NEED RUNNERS! (Zombies along the trail will inspire runners to go faster. It’s a no-touch experience, but should be lots of fun for both the zombies and the runners! There are medals being awarded.) 1K BUBBLE FUN RUN for children up to age 12 (Race to the bubbles! There are medals being awarded.) DOG SHOW (Enter your pets! Lots of prize categories: cutest, largest, smallest, best dressed, most talented, etc.) OPEN CAR AND TRUCK SHOW. Trophies for winners! We need participants! Spread the word to neighbors and friends! ARTS AND CRAFT FAIR/BUSINESS EXPO - We have booth spaces for everything from fine art to jewelry to small businesses. Come sell or promote what you do! Let the community know what is available. If you make or build things or want the community to know what you do, bring it, set it up, and sell it! You keep all of your profits! YARD SALES - Personal yard sales, group/club yard sales…However you want to do it! If you make or build things or have a bunch of old junk that someone else would look at as treasure, bring it, set it up, and sell it! You keep all of your profits! TALENT SHOW - Mrs. Karen Cagle is running this event for elementary and middle school students. If you know talented youngsters, spread the word! SILENT AUCTION - We are gathering donations, so if you know of any person or business who would like to give, please spread the word! There is no charge for participating in the auction beyond the $1 admission and whatever offer a person makes. In addition to all of the above events, there will be... FREE KIDS CONNECTION FUN ZONE where children can come to play games, earn tickets, and trade those for prizes. LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRST RESPONDERS will be onsite. Lagrange Police Department, TCSO Department, Georgia State Patrol, Lagrange FD, TCFD, and AMR will all be onsite. Kids can check out patrol cars and firetrucks, and hang out with our local heroes! FOOD TRUCKS are coming! The more the merrier, so if you know of anyone who operates one of these, let ‘em know it’s only $15, and they keep their profits! COMPETITIVE YARD GAMES are sure to get the blood pumping and provide fun for the entire family. BLOOD DRIVE. Obviously free to do, and we would love to have lots and lots of donations for Life South. They are coming and bringing the big bus! As you can tell, it is going to be a big day, and we would love to have you involved somehow. Come run in the 5K, enter your vehicle in the car show or your favorite canine in the dog show! You can open up your own booth or one for your club or organization. Easy to register online!
