Arriving at Oktoberfest
Lots of Lake Highlands High School seniors will be opening scholarship envelopes in May thanks to another successful Oktoberfest sponsored by the Exchange Club.
You can see my photos from Saturday’s event here.
Light rain fell on Flag Pole Hill just as the gates were opening, but the clouds quickly parted, and children played happily on bounce houses and the new All Abilities Playground by lunch time. The playground, recently dedicated by pro golfer Jordan Spieth, was one of many LH community projects funded in full or in part by previous Oktoberfest fundraisers.
If you’d like to donate to Exchange Club, it’s not too late. You may email Fundraising Chair Jimmy Conway at fundraising@lhexchangeclub.org to learn how to become a sponsor.
