Tampa Police Department and se- curity will be present to ensure the safety of the community. This is a family oriented environment. With eighteen month of pandemic, isola- tion and an increase in death, Mrs. Lewis said, she wants to see every- one happy. “You don’t know if you will see the person next to you today or tomorrow. Love ye one to another.”
Mrs. Lewis said the supplies will be distributed on a first-come first served basis while supplies last. “Right now we have enough for 1,900 kids. Supplies are still coming in and we’ll receive them up to the day of the event. An adult must accompany
every child and a child must ac- company every adult. Parents should bring own lawn chairs to enjoy festivities. Mrs. Lewis added, “do not block surrounding neighbors’ driveways or mailboxes. We’re not re- sponsible for your cars.”
This year's event will be awe- some!!! This event attracts hundreds of children and their families from across the Bay Area for a day of old school fun activities, good food, cus- tom caricatures, face painting, music, and a lot of dancing! There will be plenty of games that will give the kids and adults a lot of physical exercise. To ensure the safety of others, we are following the CDC Guide- line and social distancing.
