Homewood’s Giant Block Party to offer sweet swan song to summer

Sweet treats will rule  as Homewood’s annual August festival lives up to its new theme, “Donut Daze.” The party will run from noon to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 19, on Martin Avenue in downtown Homewood. The party will feature fun family activities, including a doughnut toss. Winners will get doughnuts as prizes, and the event is sponsored by Krispy Kreme.
