The city of La Vergne has agreed to co-sponsor a free concert designed to raise money directly for residents of LaVergne affected by the flooding earlier this month. Where FEMA has been able to help many home-owners, some have been left out because their damage hasn’t been extensive enough to merit government aid. However, help is also needed for these families as well and they - along with others being served by FEMA - will benefit from the concert.

Called “LaVergne’s Party in the Park,” the concert is scheduled May 29th from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park off of Murfreesboro Road and Floyd Mayfield Drive. The day of helping will feature performances by musicians and bands from the area, local vendors will have the opportunity to set up information tables about their businesses, and other activities are planned including a dunking booth for the mayor and other dignitaries, face painting, and more.

The concert is also sponsored by The Tanning Boutique, a new local business that was started in part because of the community helping owner Stephanie Tellez. As she and her family were preparing to open, many friends and neighbors came to help paint and decorate so she could open the doors on time.

Donations may be made to “LaVergne Party in the Park Flood Relief Fund” at Regions Bank in La Vergne. The money will later be given directly to the LaVergne victims to help with their recovery efforts.
