A memorial ride and candlelight vigil will be happening in Barrow County this Saturday to honor the victims one day after the one-month anniversary of the tragic Sept. 4 shooting at Apalachee High School.
The event organizers, Kris Llewellyn and Stacy Sims said in their Facebook event posting that all are welcome and that their Jeep club, “Jeep Girls Mafia” will lead a police convoy from the Target in Bethlehem to Apalachee High School.
The meeting time is set for 7 p.m. and the convoy will leave at 7:30 p.m.
They are also inviting students and participants to create signs in honor of those affected.
Upon arrival at the high school, a spot will be marked to leave signage and flowers to build a memorial wall for the students and staff to see when they come back to school.
Candles will be provided for everyone who attends and a short moment of silence will be held.
As of 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, over 500 people have responded to the event.
The Facebook event posting can be found here and the address of the Target is 916 Loganville Hwy., Bethlehem, Georgia.
