We are excited to have several supporting organizations come out and celebrate History on the Hill for America's 250th Birthday at the birthplace of Macon.
Come explore local history organizations, the history of the American flag, and the customs surrounding the stars and stripes 🇺🇸🇺🇸

*depending on the state of the burn ban and our ability to light our fire pit, we may or may not be able to hold our flag retirement ceremony at 1pm.

Super PROUD of each and every boss that graced the hill today!
We snagged some amazing sweet treats, purchased some awesome 3d fidgets, crochet items, and refreshing lemonade that hit the spot once it got hot!
This was definitely an event to remember!

But we have to toot our own horn a bit and show off the booths of two of our Junior docents...
Emma showcased her rainbow of glitter body gel through her company- Level Up Glitter Co and Sara showed off her own original artwork through her company- Little Spin Studio.

Thank you so much to Janesa White of Little Sweeties Cakery for always being the most amazing boss babe and encouraging the next generation of Little Entrepreneurs.

Thank you to every business that sponsored these amazing kids. This event would not have been as successful without your support!
