Included in our Stuff the Bus  drive, Chick-fil-A will be sponsoring Family Night/Back to School on July 26 from 5:00 to 8:00. Face painting, a bounce house and more will be there and you can bring 5 school supplies and get a FREE Chicken sandwich!

IHOP is proud to be supporting the Kids of Gilmer County with a special, if you bring in school supplies on July 21st and you’ll get a short stack of pancakes for $1.00.
