Last fall, the Cultural Arts Center partnered with Dothan City Schools to launch a naming and art competition to decorate and name the bus.

The Dothan City School’s Summer Food Bus will now be called “The Groovy Grub Bus”, named by Dothan High School student Amara Menefee from the Dothan Technology Center from Ms. Gina Burdeshaw’s graphics program. In addition, the Groovy Grub Bus will now have works of art by two students who are in 1st elementary school with their works of art shared on the bus.
