The family-friendly event will feature local organizations, churches, clubs, agencies, and volunteer groups from across the community. Organizers say the goal is to help residents learn more about available services, volunteer opportunities, and ways to become involved in the community.

The event also coincides with the arrival of the Tennessee Valley Railroad steam engine passenger train, bringing visitors and tourists into downtown Summerville.

Food vendors and informational booths will line East Washington Street throughout the afternoon. Community leaders say the event is designed to connect people with resources while showcasing everything Chattooga County has to offer.

Groups interested in participating or setting up booths are encouraged to contact the Chattooga County Chamber of Commerce or the City of Summerville for more information.
