(Plenty has been written and said about the good work that Konnected Clothing Co. and its founder, Tommy Hall, do throughout the year, including their charitable and generous annual back-to-school backpack giveaway. I wasn’t able to attend this time around, so this year, I thought I’d let our granddaughter, Kennedy Webber, report from a child’s perspective and get her first by-line. – John and ViAnn )

This was very cool!

There were a lot of backpacks, like a thousand, and there were a lot of helpers.

There were a lot of kids getting backpacks, fishing poles, haircuts, sno-cones, and donuts… Yummy looking donuts!

There was a DJ with a lot of loud music.

It was cool that some people brought their dogs. I wanted to hug them all.

I was really impressed with all the people working. Tommy does a really good job at helping people create a better life for themselves.
