It was time for fresh haircuts, hotdogs, ice cream and fun at Crenshaw Park Sunday afternoon. Oh yeah — and school supplies too.

It is the fourth year Desirae Lewis-Jackson, Diane Elmore, community churches and organizations came together to have one last hoorah for children before school starts on Thursday. As the Back to School Bash at the Crenshaw Community Center, so do the surprises.
