One of the last pieces of summer fun will take place in a co-ed three-on-three basketball tournament, starting at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Lincoln Heights YMCA.
The event is sponsored by Building Futures, a nonprofit youth group, dedicated to promoted youth activities.
The tournament is open to players 8 years and older, said Debbie Smith, director of Building Futures.
"We have about 20 kids from Lincoln Heights in Building Futures and they are just great," Smith said.
She said she thinks the Lincoln Heights community is coming together.
"We want to give everybody a reason to come out, meet their neighbors and have some fun," Smith said.
She said in between tournament rounds, One Stop Career Resource Center and the Hamilton County Job and Family Services will have booths at a community resource fair promoting services for Lincoln Heights residents.
