Child of the Sun Jazz Festival Returns to Lakeland Saturday April 16, 2011

     For the past several years the Lakeland community was missing the sounds of jazz coming from the Florida Southern campus during their signature Child of the Sun Jazz Festival. Jazz enthusiasts can rejoice in the Rotary Club’s decision to bring this event back. Those in charge have enhanced the original festival by adding an Urban Triathlon and they have added a real sense of purpose by making the day a charitable event. The primary beneficiaries for 2011 will be Central Florida Speech and Hearing Center and the Learning Resource Center.

     Local vendors will be on hand to sell an exciting array of food and drinks, and the proceeds from these sales will be the source of revenue to support the local charities, so no coolers are allowed. Check out the web site for this event to get all of the details for both the Jazz Festival and the Triathlon: http://www.cotslakeland.com/wp/
