"Things are going to be quit*
a bit Miupier this year than in
the paat two yearn,' said Ay era
'As the planning has progreaaed,
H seems that almost everyone
on the committee, especially the
youth, are more interested in
the rally itself than in the other
ev« at* '
Competitive game* were a
rneior part of the first two youth
jallies, but 01 garnieru have de
cided to eliminate that pert of
the program,
"Last summer, we had Inar
ginal attendance for the gamea,
and then a lot of kids showed up
for tiie evening rallies," com-
mented Ay tit "Frankly, we're
excited that tins is where their
real interest lies They want to
be spiritually fed rather than
entertained, and that's great1"
, The rally oummittt* has aiao
staled down the food prepara-
tion Instead ufa full meal, there
will be a "coke wagon'
by rfpreetgitaUve* from venous
•vdiu/ches linnks popcorn and
snow cones will be among the
snacks provided tor partanpants.
Another change is the loca-
tion 'Hie entire event will be
staged 10 the bank Park area in
downtown Albany In the past,
tiie rallies liave been held at the
football field
"With the shade trees, the
park will be a lot cooler as well
as being more visible," explained
Ayers She added Uiat partici-
pants should bring lawn chair*
or blankets to sit on.
The speakers for the evening
rallies will be Kick BlRckington

appeared at several Albany ser
vices and other events
The evening rallies will beat
tally follow the same format as
the first two, with drama. praise
and worship skits and speak-
ers
Although tiie emphasis is on
youth, everyone in the commu-
nity is invited to attend
