Hundreds of neighborhood
residents turned out for the third annual event during which
bicycles were also given away to some of the lucky
youngsters in addition to well over 500 bookbags. The
weekend featured live performances by the KGB Band on
Saturday and Dazz Band on Sunday.
T-Bonds also presented
certificates of appreciation to five individuals who have
been so instrumental in the success of the event – Mayor
Paula Hicks-Hudson, Terry Crosby, David Fleetwood, Willie
Knighten and Robin Reese.
“It was awesome,” said
Tina Butts of T-Bonds and the organizer of weekend’s
festival.
Sponsors also included
Laborers Local 500 and CareSource.
