The event will include a parking lot festival with 22 booths and food trucks. 300 backpacks will also be distributed for free, and every booth will have school supplies to give to kids.

“The business is family owned and our family understands the cost associated with getting kids ready to go back to school. We help by giving kids free haircuts in exchange for a smile,” said Neon’s. “It’s a family-supported event.”
