POPS AT THE POINT

This year, Scout Troop 14 families will again be popping and passing out popcorn at this weekly music event at Mill Point Park on Thursday evenings from 6-8pm during the summer. The popcorn popper is located in the new concession stand! This is a fun way for your scout to earn some community service hours! We still have a few nights open: July 5th, August 16 and 24; plus, we will need two more families for a special night on Friday, August 24th when the Symphony is playing. See the newsletter for more information.
