An Open Letter from the Spartanburg Southside Lions Club
The Spartanburg Southside Lions are proud to announce our 5thAnnual Sparkle City Rhythm & Ribs Festival to be held on Saturday, June 4, 2022 at Barnet Park in Spartanburg, SC. Each year our focus is on bringing you one of the best musical entertainment experiences you can possibly have. The first three events were very successful and we have you to thank for that. We also appreciate all the positive comments you made on social media.
All proceeds from this event goes back into the community as we do our community service projects. A few of our service projects include, providing free eye exams and free eye glasses to those who are less fortunate, and Backpack Buddies which helps to combat hunger among children by providing food packs to take home on the weekends. This year, we will also make financial donations to The South Carolina School for the Blind, Miracle Hill Ministries, Upstate Stand Down for Veterans, and the Adult Learning Center.
The Spartanburg Southside Lions are dedicated to making this event the best it can be. Your presence at this event means the world to us. We want to thank you for your support in over the years and we look forward to seeing you again this year. We also ask that you share our website and this event with your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn friends.
With sincere thanks,
The Spartanburg Southside Lions Club
