Sherman Student Entertained at CollegeFest

More than 100 Sherman students, plus many students from other local colleges and members of the Spartanburg community, gathered at Barnet Park on October 25 for CollegeFest, an outdoor music concert for area college students. The event was hosted by College Town, a consortium of the colleges of Spartanburg and the City of Spartanburg. More than 1,500 people attended.

CollegeFest featured three bands -- Seven, Five & Dime, and Dezeray’s Hammer. The event also featured games, door prizes and refreshments. Admission was $5 at the gate with a college ID.

College Town’s first official event was the South Carolina Humanities Festival, held in April 2003 on the campuses. During that event, Sherman sponsored a health fair and a panel discussion about the roles of the mind, body and spirit in overall health.

Plans for other college events, such as joint service projects, a leadership summit and intramural sports activities, are under way. More information about the College Town consortium and upcoming events can be found at www.collegetownsc.org.

The web site features information about all six Spartanburg colleges, a list of upcoming events at each college, and student profiles.
