"Everyone is talking about Volunteers for Literacy’s (VFL) upcoming Duck Race. It is one of the coveted events of the Moutain Laurel Festival at Pitts Park in Clarkesville, GA. on May 18th. VFL is hosting its 2nd Annual Family Fun Fest to add to the excitement. Last year, Bob Brooksher, a volunteer for VFL, coordinated a time to bring families into the park to have a great time leading up to the Duck Race. “For the past three years, I have been on ‘duck patrol’ with my kayak. We wanted to do something to get children off their screens and share fun and excitement as a family,” Brooksher said. “With the help of many volunteers and businesses, we created the Family Fun Fest. It was a success.”" |
