Fulfilled a lot of my HIGHLANDS COALITION obligations today but then again everything is part of the same BIG PICTURE. Luckily part-time WATCH photographer, TRIPPY was on hand to document the event at COOK STREET PARK today (i"'ll post them later after I download them). Probably about 100 people showed up to enjoy various activities.
The vast majority of the 100 were little kids, current or future FORD SCHOOL students. DR. CRANE, the principal at FORD stopped by to show her support for the community. OPERATION BOOTSTRAP'S "EARLY LITERACY:LYNN READS" program was there giving out free books to encourage the youngsters that life exists outside of video games. When one reads, they are taking responsibility for their own learning.
Some kids sang, some kids read aloud, there was even a little ZOOMBA dancing. I even saw CHOMPS from the NAVIGATORS working on some new moves.
From there,we went up to HIGH ROCK PARK to help sell NAVIGATORS tickets for an upcoming HICO fundraiser that were packaged in a NEAT combo packet with a snazzy LIMITED EDITION FREDRICK DOUGLASS t-shirt, sure to be a collector's item, for an insane $15.
The shirts are so special wearers have been assured they will be able to see fireworks!
HICO was there offering this deal to patrons of ARTS AFTER HOURS special production of HENRY V.
SHAKESPEARE and SUMMER go together like FLUUF-N-NUTTER.
