Alumni and friends of the College, mark your calendars to attend “Pack the Park for Education,” which will feature fun and entertainment for all ages on Saturday, May 2, at the Tusculum College Pioneer baseball game at Pioneer Park.
Festivities will begin at 3:30 p.m. outside Pioneer Park on the Tusculum campus with a free concert featuring recording artists Austin Baze, Michelle Leigh and Greeneville’s own Step Cousins.
A “fun zone” for kids and those young at heart will feature inflatables, corn hole, face and body painting and other free activities outside Pioneer Park during the event.
Concessions will be available and an area will be open to all who want to bring a blanket or chairs and tailgate prior to the baseball game against Bluefield State. At the game, member of the 2005 championship baseball team will be recognized.
While providing a fun weekend outing for local families is one reason the College is sponsoring “Pack the Park for Education,” its primary goal is to honor those who are dedicated to providing a quality education to the community’s young people. Through this event, Tusculum College wants to express its appreciation to all those involved in the Greeneville and Greene County school systems whose efforts are preparing the leaders of tomorrow.
Admission to the baseball game will be free to all students, teachers, teacher assistants, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians and maintenance personnel, school board members, etc. Throughout the game, local educators will be honored in a variety of ways.
A fireworks display, sponsored by Watauga Orthopaedics, will immediately follow the game to conclude the day’s festivities.
