We Love Homewood WEEK

Loving Homewood is easy to do.  Everyone who is a part of our city can easily find something that is reason to celebrate.  Anyone who knows anything about our city understands that a HUGE part of what makes Homewood easy to love is the school system.  A great way to celebrate that success is We Love Homewood Day.  I've been promoting the We Love Homewood 5K for a few weeks and YES.. there is still time to register online through Thursday or on site at packet pick-up from 3PM to 6PM at Homewood Recreation Center.  Hopefully, you will decide to start your day with the 5K walk/run.  Even if you don't make it to the 5K, you should make an effort to check out the We Love Homewood Festival in the Park.  Arts and crafts, food and beverage, entertainment from HHS band, a silent auction, a parade, a street dance and a free concert near Edgewood Creamery by Chevy 6!

Don't miss out..
