Back to school giveaway and health fair

School is right around the corner and what better way to celebrate than visiting the fourth annual Dr. Christopher Bennett Memorial Back to School Giveaway and Health Fair.

The event began to honor the legacy of event organizer Dr. Kinyatta Bennett’s late husband Dr. Christopher Bennett and his work in the Harrison County School District.

The fair will give a way a variety of necessities such as school supplies, groceries, and COVID-19 vaccinations.

The event will also host many fun activities such as bounce houses, ATV rides and live animal shows from the aquarium. Dr. Kinyatta Bennett said, “So, we started from the beginning of the very first year we held the event here at the office. The very first three years the event was held here at the office. This will be our first time venturing off and going to a larger location because we’ve actually outgrown this location.”

This free-to-enter event will take place at Orange Grove Community Center at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 31st.
