SANFORD – Check out the free food, door prizes, games and – most importantly – spring semester registration and financial assistance information at Central Carolina Community College’s first Education Celebration Friday, Nov. 16.

The college’s Lifelong Learning Center at the W.B. Wicker Business Campus hosts the event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the campus, 900 S. Vance St., Sanford. The Celebration is open to all current and potential students for Continuing Education and Career and College Readiness (formerly Adult Education) in Lee County.

Booths will be set up with information on spring registration in both Continuing Education and Career and College Readiness programs. Representatives from agencies that offer financial assistance to students will be on-site and visitors will be encouraged to talk to them.

Anyone interested in registering for spring classes in Continuing Education or Career and College Readiness is welcome and encouraged to attend.

Various areas of the campus will be open for tours, including the Career and College Readiness classroom with the first SmartBoard at the LLC; the nurse aide, phlebotomy, and EKG labs; computer labs; and the art room.

CCCC’s Emergency Services Training Center will be on location with a fire truck, Emergency Medical Services vehicle and a police car. ESTC representatives will provide information on how to register for the various training opportunities at the Center.

A cornhole tournament pitches off at 11 a.m. and a three-point shooting contest, at noon. Register for these games at check-in at the event registration table. Prizes will be awarded to the winners. Enjoy the moon walk, as well as the popcorn and other treats.

Come and cheer on your favorites as the Continuing Education/WIA staff and instructors challenge Career and College Readiness staff and instructors in a kickball tournament that kicks off at 1 p.m.

The first 100 people who visit at least 60 percent of the vendors will receive a gift card from Chick-fil-A for a free chicken biscuit.

Education Celebration is sponsored in part by Triangle South Workforce Development with donations from Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, and other area businesses.
