Special to IFN

After consulting the weather forecast, park staff, and attending community vendors, organizers of the Iredell Walk for Recovery have decided to move Saturday’s event to the South Iredell High School Performing Arts Center.

The conditions are expected to be too wet for vendors to stake tents safely, to drive vehicles onto grassy areas to load in equipment for the band, and to move grills in place.

All of the fun activities are still planned.

This free, family-friendly event is a celebration of the hope and healing that comes with recovery from substance use and mental illness with words from three inspiring speakers as well as community leaders.

The Uptown Party Band will perform. Kids activities, including magician Mr. Marvel, a balloon artist, a splash pad and playground, petting zoo, face painting, martial arts and dance performances, photo booth, art exhibit, and games and crafts, will also add to the fun.

A free dinner of hotdogs, water, and side items will be served. Other treats will be available from onsite vendors.
