Though school will have already

started, area children are invited to have one last fling before settling

down for the school year. The Peachtree City Parks and recreation Department

will present the 13th annual Last Fling on Saturday, Aug. 17 at Shakerag

Knoll in Peachtree City from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

Last Fling is a combination

of games, entertainment, rides, treats and prizes and best of all, admission

to the event is free. There will be carnival games, giant slides and obstacle

course, a moonwalk, hockey lessons from the Atlanta Thrashers Outreach

Hockey Team, train rides and more. The 24 foot high Climbing Rock Wall

is back for children to climb at $3 a try, as are spin-art booths, dancing

exhibitions and fun treats like cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and pizza.

The food vendors are non-profit youth groups who use the event to raise

much-needed funds.

New to the Last Fling this

year is a demonstration of extreme art from some local students and performances

from local bands Gravel undertones and Brazen Angel from 2-4 p.m. There

will also be an appearance from Doodle the Clown at this year's event.

The Peachtree City Parks and

Recreation Departmernt invites volunteers to participate in the Last Fling

be 14 or older and agree to volunteer for a minimum of 2 hours. Come out

to meet your community, get involved, receive a free t-Shirt and a lunch

ticket. For additional information call 770-631-2542.

School may have already started

but there is a little fling left in everybody. Head on out to Shakerag

Knoll on Saturday and have a ball.
