City of Hickory Police Department issued the following announcement on Aug. 2.
August is here and it’s almost time to head back to school for some of our residents. Two upcoming events are designed to help kids and families get ready for the new school year.
Hickory Police Department will host its annual Ridgeview Community Block Party on Friday, August 12, from 5-8 p.m. at Taft Broome Park! This free back-to-school event will offer food, music from ‘Nita B, and free school supplies while they last.
If you can’t make it to that event, there is another great opportunity to get ready for the school year.
The following week, the Back to School Bash presented by Modern Nissan of Hickory, in partnership with City of Hickory Parks, Recreation & Sports Tourism will take place on Saturday, August 20, from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. at Taft Broome Park. Come out and enjoy free food, face painting, balloon artist, music, free haircuts, school supplies, and so much more for families!
