BTSB A Success!

The 5th Annual Greater Lafayette Back to School Bash was held on Saturday, August 13 in the Trinity parking lot and closed off North Street!! After a rainy morning, a beautiful evening greeted guests who received free school supplies, haircuts, information; as well as enjoyed food, games, entertainment and fun!  Participants included the Lafayette Fire Department, DARE, Trinity Youth, Trinity Choir, Purdue Audiology, First Steps, Purdue Nutrition, Drug-Free Coalition, Lafayette Civic Youth, Purdue Boxing Club, One Size Fits All Comedy Improv, Public Schools Foundation of Tippecanoe County, LUM, Bicycle Lafayette, First Church, YMCA, Lafayette Children's Choir and many more. The Hernandez family with 3 children won the limousine ride to the first day of school, compliments of Lafayette Limo.
