George I. Theisen Family YMCA PB + J Kids Fun Run
May 17 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
George I. Theisen Family YMCA

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.

King of the Mountain: Competitive Short Form Improv Games
May 17 @ 7:30 pm – 8:45 pm
Alchemy Comedy Theater at Coffee Underground

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).

The Alchemy Comedy Theater is back and running shows every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night at 7:30 and 9pm. Downtown Greenville has street parking available as well as several nearby parking garages.
