TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) – The Tallahassee Community College African-American History Planning Committee will host the Community Connections Fair on Saturday, February 22, 2014, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., on the first floor of the Student Union on TCC’s main campus.
The event will showcase the arts by providing the area residents with a greater knowledge and appreciation of local artistic achievements. Organizers hope to inspire more active patrons of Tallahassee’s cultural offerings. Several local agencies that provide health or prevention/intervention services will also be on hand to share information.
“One of our goals is to present a concrete vision of Tallahassee as a healthy and cultural community where people want to live, work, go to school, visit, and do business,” said Dr. Brenda Anthony, associate professor in TCC’s Business program.
The schedule includes an authors’ showcase, dance, spoken word, music and much more. These events are intended to further enliven TCC’s African-American Month celebration activities. Among the confirmed authors, artists, and organizations:
