Scottville, Michigan, June 18, 2014 – The Scottville Optimist Club will sponsor a kids’ carnival and patriotic performance from the Scottville Clown Band on Tuesday, July 1.
The carnival, which will be held from 4-6 p.m. at the Scottville Optimist Clown Band Shell, is open to the public and will include games, food and fun. Tickets are $.50 each or 12 for $5.00.
The Scottville Clown Band will perform its annual patriotic concert starting at 7 p.m. While there is no admission charge for the concert, goodwill donations will be accepted to benefit Hospice of Michigan.
