Lilypad Festival to have bands, women’s groups

The Women’s Resource Center will host the Lilypad Music Festival from noon to 6:30 p.m. today at Frog Fountain.

The festival will include live performances from local bands, free food and representatives from community women’s organizations who will set up booths to offer information about their services and volunteer opportunities.

“The festival is a student program,” said Marcy Paul, director of the Women’s Resource Center. “Women and men across the university are encouraged to attend,” she said.

The festival will continue at the TCU vs. Stephen F. Austin State University women’s volleyball game at 7:30 p.m. in the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum. Sara Hickman, one of the concert performers, will lead the crowd in saying the national anthem, she said.

Polly Wright, senior radio-TV-film major and chairwoman of the Women’s Resource Council, worked with three other TCU students to plan the event, Paul said.

Other local artists performing are TCU student Heather Morgan, Baby Jane Hudson, Tifffany Shea, and Lucy Loves Schroeder, Paul said.

KTCU-FM (88.7) will broadcast live interviews with performers and attendees, Paul said.
