BACK TO SCHOOL FLYER (002)

Students are getting ready for their first day of school with a Back to School Bash. Organizer Ben Phillips says years ago, he and his wife decided to give back to the community and bought school supplies to give out for free.

Years later, he's still doing that and giving out discounted haircuts. In 2018, the attendance grew to almost 200 kids. Haircuts cost $7, but the school supplies are free. The event's being held at the Rock Falls Community Building, 601 West 10th Street, across from the library. It starts at 1 p.m. Sunday, August 11 and goes until 4 p.m.
