Heart of the Ozarks United Way is inviting families across West Plains to kick off the school year with a night of fun at the Back‑to‑School Family Festival. The event takes place Friday at the West Plains Civic Center from 4 to 8 p.m.
Families can enjoy camel and pony rides, a petting zoo, bounce houses, and a variety of food trucks. Admission is free for all children 12 and under. Organizers say the festival is designed to bring the community together and create lasting memories as students head into a new school year.
