The 13th annual Van Buren County Back to School Bonanza was held Monday at the Van Buren Intermediate School District’s Technology Center in Lawrence. Families lined up waiting their turn as more than 1,300 backpacks were given away during the three-hour period. Area agencies also were on hand during the event to hand out information to parents and guardians and their children. Representatives from large sponsor Entergy Palisades were on hand to help.
