The Peanut Butter and Jelly Kids Fun Run is back for a 7th year! Organized by YMCA of Greenville volunteers as a part of the Y’s Togetherhood Initiative, this initiative allows Y members to collectively give back to the Travelers Rest community.

This event will support the North Greenville Crisis Ministry. Each summer, hundreds of kids are not in school for lunch and there is a huge need for easily prepared meals for these children. One large need is for jars of peanut butter and jelly.

One jar of peanut butter and one jar of jelly per participant OR any two items of the following: canned soup, spaghetti sauce, condiments, toiletries.

The Greenville Zoo invites zoo-goers to tap into the wild at our 14th annual Brew in the Zoo. This event, set for Friday, May 17th from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., will provide attendees with the opportunity to sample an assortment of beer, lite fare, all while exploring the zoo after hours. Early admission and general admission ticket holders will receive a special souvenir shot glass, unlimited beer sampling, free food and Pepsi products. Designated drivers will receive free food and Pepsi products.

It’s a bit like “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”: you’ll see familiar games like ABC (if the first line starts with an A, the next line will start with a B, then a C, and so on …), New Choice (the host will ring a bell and the player has to replace their last line with something totally new), and Sounds Like a Rap (exactly what you’d expect).
