Description:
The mission of the March of Dimes is to prevent birth defects, infant mortality and premature birth. This is done through research, education, community programs and advocacy.
WalkAmerica is the oldest and one of the most popular walking events in the nation. It joins friends and neighbors who have fun while supporting research and programs to help babies in your community and across the nation get a healthy start.
To ensure success, this year we are having our first ever WalkAmerica Festival. We are providing vendor spaces in a designated area for a very nominal fee. We invite vendors to come and participate! WalkAmerica begins at 9:30 a.m. with the festival to take place following. Vendors should be set up no later than 10:30 a.m. and ready to leave by 2:00 p.m. We welcome arts, crafts, food, children’s fun and sponsors to set up. Fee to participate is $50 for your space; vendor must supply any equipment (tables, chairs, tent, etc). Sales tax must be paid to Sportsplex prior to leaving for the day.
If you would like an item can be donated to the March of Dimes for silent auctions taking place later in the year.
