As you can see Covington's Children's Classic is well under way. Its day 3 in the 7+ day event. Every year there is a HUGE publication in the town paper, The Leader (The Covington Leader); it's a brag book of sorts for the parents. In this event Richard and his son Phil photograph the children of Tipton County ages 0-6yrs. A new child every 8 mins for 8 hours a day. Needless to say, they are exhausted when they go home at night, but they both love it, and wouldn't have it any other way!!
___
By donating their session fee(s), the parents of each child partner with us to make a monetary donation to The Carl Perkins Center. In addition, each parent receives a complimentary 5x7 as a "thank you" from Richard and Phil for helping support this great cause. We all play a part in making our community a great place to live; and the Children's Classic allows Richard and Phil a way of being active in that endeavor. In this together, using the Children's Classic as a medium, over the years, we have raised over $100,000 for The Carl Perkins Center!!! But the most rewarding part of the week is the knowledge of knowing EVERYONE involved did something to help a child in need.
