We were positively gruntled by the Craving for a Change organization’s “Let’s Get It Right” fair at Carver Park in Texas City on Saturday.
The free event brought together youths and young adults for an afternoon of practical education, where community residents could get information intended to help ease the transition from high school to college and employment — information about entrepreneurship for example, as well as help with resumes and college applications, employment guidance, outreach opportunities and more.
