Hundreds of Vestavia Hills residents celebrated the new school year at Back 2 School in the Hills. This was the event's third year, and attendees had the chance to enjoy bounce houses, games, balloon animals and to chat with local vendors. Candidates were also able to rent out booth spaces and chat with the community.
Back 2 School in the Hills started three years ago when Vestavia Hills Chamber of Commerce members Birmingham Parent, Deborah’s Party Rentals, JAMM Entertainment and Oliver Square approached the chamber about hosting a back-to-school event. The chamber agreed and worked to make sure the event had activities for everyone.
