About the Celebrate A Life 5K Walk
The route runs through the fairgrounds and features color blast stations along the way, where volunteers toss colored powder on participants as they pass. It is a walk, not a timed race, and the mood reflects that. The event is tied to a hospice and bereavement organization, so many people carry someone specific in mind.
After the walk, the fairgrounds stay open for a while. There is a memory wall where families can bring a photo of a loved one to be displayed, and memorial markers line the route for those who fundraise. Vendors set up around the area, and the atmosphere is unhurried.
