Plans are in the works for the 4th annual community-wide “Back-to-School Block Party”, set for Thursday, August 1, 2024. You’re cordially invited to enjoy free hot dogs and pick up some free school supplies, clothing and more while you play games and claim cool prizes, all courtesy of local businesses and civic organizations. Organizers are excited for the event because it’s been proven to bring the whole community together, as a vital avenue of support for students, and as a source of major fun for the entire community.
The annual event will take place once again on the HSC Courthouse lawn. Local businesses, civic organizations, church groups, municipal offices and others will have tables and tents set up where they will be handing out their free gifts to the crowd as attendees make their way among the tables stocked with free supplies, tasty treats and various games set up in multiple areas. Essential school supplies and added extras will be handed out starting at 5 p.
m. while supplies last, or until 6:30 p.m.

Past events featured free gifts and benefits including food, school supplies, toiletries, haircuts, shoes, clothing and lots of great items. It’s all done in an effort to support local families during the first weeks of the school season, when costs add up quick, and every little bit of help famil.
