            SMYRNA, Tenn. – Motlow’s Smyrna campus will host its Fall Festival on Oct. 31, providing plenty of activities to relieve midterm stress and accumulate Tennessee Promise service hours.

            Fall Festival will be held from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in the STAH Lobby and on the grassy areas between the two buildings on campus. Free activities such as pumpkin painting, a poetry session, cornhole, and volleyball will be available. There also will be a bake sale at the “Flavors of Fall” booth. Food trucks will be on hand to provide refreshments to participants.

            Despite the immense growth in the number of students attending Motlow, Fall Festival committee member Candace Grissom is confident that every student will have a chance to participate.

            “The faculty and staff have done an excellent job stepping up to help make this happen,” the English professor said.

            The Fall Festival is a great opportunity for students to earn hours toward their Tennessee Promise service requirements. Volunteers are needed for both set-up and cleanup of the four-hour event. Grissom says this will make it easier for the college’s busy landscaping staff. 

“We don’t want Motlow’s professional landscaping team cleaning up after the festival all by themselves,” she added.
