Youth program FUNdraiser to be held in High Springs

Press release from Campaign to Re-elect Ross Ambrose
HIGH SPRINGS, Fla. – The kids take over the lawn of the High Springs Brewing Company, 18562 NW 237th St, High Springs, on Sunday, October 15, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. to raise funds and awareness for two important local programs featuring the arts and sciences.
For science, enjoy meeting members of the Swampbots, High Springs’ own robotics teams spanning grades 1 through 12. The middle and high school robotics teams will race and display their best including a large robot built and controlled by the high school team.
Good News Arts has the arts covered with complimentary hands-on art experiences for all ages to create and play. Donations are welcome. In addition, a silent auction will be held of five quilts made this summer by students at GNA’s Summer Arts Camp. All proceeds support GNA’s educational programming.
Live music by Santa Fe High School student Trevor Ellis will complement these activities, featuring favorites in southern rock, reggae, and country. At 15, Trevor is already accomplished. His credits include an appearance on PBS. Trevor excels at the drums, piano, and guitar, challenging himself with the most intricate compositions of John Mayer and Zach Brown on guitar and Vince Guaraldi on piano.
For hungry kids and parents, the Swampbots teams will also team up with High Springs’ own Prohibition Pizza (located across the street from the brewery, for those who need their own pie), selling pizza by the slice as well as kid-friendly drinks.
“Investment in our kids is an investment in our community. In just a few years, these two programs have provided solid success for our kids,” said Ross Ambrose, a High Springs City Commissioner who has personally supported both programs since they were launched.
This event is sponsored by the Campaign to Re-Elect Ross Ambrose. Commissioner Ambrose will be on hand to talk to voters and their families and friends about these programs and other issues facing the community. Visit rossambrose.com for more information.
