Food and libations are available from vendors and from restaurants and cafés along the eight-blocks of upper Main Street. Many Uptown Village merchants are offering samples of their wares and discounts. Three stages will offer a variety of entertainment from rock’n’ roll, jazz, soup, pop and funk music, to folk dancing and cultural presentations. A classic car cruise-in, sponsored by North County Cruisers, runs all day Sunday. More than 300 cars and trucks are expected. Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21. East Town Fest

YWCA needs back-to-school supplies Families arriving at the YWCA of Clark County SafeChoice Domestic Violence Shelter often have no more than the clothes on their backs, according to Annie Gannon, YWCA spokesperson. The YWCA SafeChoice Domestic Violence Program serves victims of domestic violence by providing a 24-hour crisis line, shelter, a children's advocacy program, legal advocacy, counseling, support groups and community education. The YWCA is collecting school supplies for children in the shelter. There is a special need for backpacks, Gannon says, and, in addition, pencils, pens, erasers, glue, crayons, colored pencils, notebook paper, scissors, three-ring binders and calculators. Last year, SafeChoice served 1,982 victims of domestic violence, including 168 children, and provided 8,744 bed-nights at the shelter. Program-wide, SafeChoice had 54,415 contacts with individuals seeking help with domestic violence. Donations can be dropped off weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. at the YWCA, 3609 Main Street.
