NORWICH – Norwich Dollars for Scholars will be presenting a week of fun activities to further its scholarship program for students living in the City school district.  Come on out and do your part to support educational opportunities for local students, and have some fun at the same time.

 The highlight of the week will come on Saturday, May 17 in East Side Park in downtown Norwich with a Golf Ball Drop, car wash and Brooks Chicken barbeque. If you haven’t seen two thousand golf balls dropped from the fire department’s tallest ladder truck, it’s worth the trip down. Of course, it’s even more interesting if you’ve purchased one of the $1 raffle tickets and your numbered golf ball falls closest to the pin.  The grand prize winner takes home $500.

 While you’re in the park you can pick up some famous Brooks BBQ chicken cooked right on site … always delicious! Carter Brightman will be providing DJ services for the afternoon and there will also be face painting offered. The golf balls will be dropped at 3pm sharp, and remember you need not be present to win - but it sure is fun to watch!
