CHILDERSBURG, Ala. – The idea started as a Childersburg First Methodist Church cookout, but blossomed into a full community block party over this past weekend, filling church grounds with vendors and visitors.
“We wanted to create a fellowship activity,” explained Childersburg First Methodist Church Technology Leader Tison Pearson, “and it just kept growing into what we have here today.”
Church Event Coordinator Jessica Smith said, “We wanted to involve the community, adding ways to engage local citizens. We organized a school supply giveaway and invited candidates for the upcoming city elections. We figured we needed to feed the crowd and invited popular food trucks, then added more craft vendors and community exhibitors.”
There were lots of fun things going on, as well as a crowd that provided hope that the event will become an annual happening and continue to grow.
