With school right around the corner for Putnam County families with students, Bainbridge's Lifespring Church is doing its part in making sure students and families are prepared.
Lifespring Church, 1700 W U.S. Highway 36 in Bainbridge, will hold a Back to School Fair on Aug. 5 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event features a bounce house, cotton candy, school supplies, food, prizes, crafts, obstacle courses, door prizes and Bible stories.
According to Melissa Brewer, Lifespring Church's children's ministry leader and organizer, this is the first year the church has hosted the event and notes it is open to Putnam County families, as well as those in surrounding counties.
"This is an event to welcome children. We are a small church and have less than 20 children. While trying to get the word out, I thought a fair would get the word out, offer some fun, school supplies and concessions. Everything will be free for the children, except the concessions," Brewer said.
Students will receive pencils, a ruler, crayons and a pencil bag, as well as other items.
