Businesses and citizens in Russellville will show their Arkansas Tech University pride by participating in the second annual Paint the Town Green and Gold celebration in September.
The program is co-sponsored by the Russellville Area Chamber of Commerce and ATU.
Activities will begin Sept. 7-10 with exterior window and interior decorating at local businesses. Judging of the Tech-themed decorations will take place Sept. 11-12, and the business that displays the most Tech spirit will receive possession of a traveling trophy that will be presented during a 5:30 p.m. pep rally at ATU’s Hindsman Tower on Thursday, Sept. 14.
Entry forms for the window decorating contest are available through the Russellville Area Chamber of Commerce at 708 W. Main St. For more information, call (479) 968-2530 or send e-mail to sbeerman@russellville.org.
