GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - Fun and entertainment for all ages is planned for "Pack the Park for Education" activities surrounding this Saturday's Tusculum College baseball game against Bluefield State College. The fun begins at 3:30 p.m. at Pioneer Park.

While providing a fun weekend outing for local families is one reason for Tusculum College to sponsor "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. Throughout the event, Tusculum College will be expressing its appreciation to all those involved in the Greeneville and Greene County school systems whose efforts are preparing the leaders of tomorrow.

A free concert featuring recording artists Austin Baze, Michelle Leigh and Greeneville's own Step Cousins will be performing starting at 3:30 p.m.

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 which begins at 6:30 p.m.

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 Orthopedics, will immediately follow the game to conclude the day's festivities.
