The Rock Springs Main Street/Urban Renewal Agency (URA) along with Rock Springs High School have finalized plans for the sixth annual Tiger Town Bash. Set for Thursday, September 5, the Tiger Town Bash will showcase our TIGER PRIDE as our students head back to school; it’s also just before the first home football game.
