ROCKINGHAM – Morning showers didn’t put a damper on back-to-school at Falling Creek Park.
The annual event, sponsored by the Rockingham Housing Authority, moved mostly to the gym.
The video game truck and petting zoo stayed outside, while vendors set up their tables around the basketball court. There were even two bounce houses inside.
Richmond County Commissioner Tavares Bostic and his group Brothers Leaning on Another Creating Kings, with the help of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, were in their eighth year partnering with RHA to provide backpacks to students.
Other vendors included Richmond Community College, Children’s Association of Richmond County, Rockingham Fire Department and Sisters Of Unity and Love (SOUL Stand Up).
