The 11th Annual Town and Gown Connection will take place on Aug. 13 from 4–6 p.m. at the Meadows on the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College campus. The event gives local businesses and churches an opportunity to welcome new and returning ABAC students to Tifton.

Businesses can participate for $25 for one table or $50 for double occupancy.  Churches can take part for $10, and all other non-profit organizations can join in free of charge.  To register visit http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/Ch5981P11Y7tD5fns.  All participants must register by Aug. 6 at 5 p.m.

Participants are invited to bring samples, freebies, coupons, or even job applications. One table and two chairs will be provided for each participant.   Businesses paying for double occupancy will be supplied with extra space.

ABAC will set up a large tent for the event with space inside the tent available on a first come first serve basis.  Businesses are encouraged to bring their own tents.  Community participants should bring door prizes for a drawing that will take place near the end of the event.
