This is a great way to do some marketing and to help kids with the supplies they will need to go back to school.
Recycle those old lunch boxes, backpacks , binders, pencils, pens, book covers and other other items that a kid can use.
Note: Last year free Shuttle bus service to and from the event was available from Amherst Street School, Sargent Ave entrance, and the front entrances at Dr. Crisp, Fairgrounds Elementary, and Ledge Street schools. Check with these schools to see if busses will be available.
