SBAWP Annual Summer Festival

presented by Seubert and Associates

Mark your calendars now for the 2012 SBAWP Annual Summer Festival presented by Seubert and Associates, which will be held Saturday, August 11, 2012 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Blueberry Hill Park in Franklin Park. 

This year's event promises to be bigger and better than ever - more music, more food, more activities for all ages, and more fun than ever.  The live concert will play throughout the event this year, featuring headliner Midlife Crisis (classic rock), Southern Comfort (smooth jazz), and other local bands.  Also new this year - you can fulfill your own fantasy of performing with Karaoke in the Community Center.

As always, all proceeds will benefit SBAWP programs, which help people with spina bifida and related disabilities to live happy, healthy, productive and independent lives.
