Summerville Downtown YMCA manager Jan
Parsons gives directions to a festival-goer at a previous Flowertown
Festival.
Whether you’re looking for that commemorative T-shirt, struggling to figure out the booth layout or just have some general questions about the festival or the Y, staffers can provide assistance.
Information booths will be set up at the corners of West 2nd and South Main streets and West 5th and South Main streets. There, Y staff members and volunteers can give you directions and even provide a map of the festival grounds free of charge. If you have any questions about the festival, either one of those booths is the place to go.
Assistance is also available at the Y camp, which this year will be located at the Cuthbert Hut, located at West 5th Street. Just look for the two big white tents and the YMCA logo.
The Y camp is also the place to go to purchase official Flowertown Festival merchandise, to find out all about the numerous programs the Y offers and to take advantage of special YMCA membership discounts being offered only during the festival.
“This is the third year we are offering a discount in an effort to entice people to become members,” Summerville Y Downtown Branch Director Jan Parsons said. “The monthly rates for membership will be the same but the registration fee is only $25 for anyone joining during the festival. The discount is good for membership to any of our facilities.”
That compares to the normal $40 fee for seniors, $60 fee for adults and $85 fee for families.
T-shirts, posters, pins – all the YMCA and Flowertown Festival merchandise will be available at the Y Camp. Handicapped transportation for those needing rides back to their car will also be provided at the camp.
