West Fest is tomorrow!

West Fest is an annual Music Festival sponsored by Greenway Medical Technologies and others in the community to raise funds for our local Carroll County Chapter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Our local chapter here in Carroll County houses more than 100 children daily in after school and summer programs. West Fest will raise money for the Carroll County Boys & Girls Club to support them with needs like transportation, facilities, teachers, technology and a safe and healthy learning environment for kids ages 6 to 18 years of age. The Boys & Girls Clubs teach life applicable skills while having fun and preparing kids for their future!
