The Lovington Library hosted a Back to School bash Friday with the help of area churches to give local children the opportunity to play games and enter a raffle to win a pizza while they listened to music presented by A-Sharp DJ Service.
While the unexpected heat wave kept attendance to the bash lower than expected, the 80 children and adults who attended enjoyed the festivities and entered the raffle by bringing school supplies to donate to Lovington Grade School.
Local churches provided snacks, hot dogs, and drinks as well as the games, such as bowling and a bag toss.
Candi Fultz, a rural resident, came into town to attend the bash.
“We don’t come out often,” she said. “We live in the country, but it’s fun for him.”
