Organizers outline Day in the Park schedule, including a Color Run to benefit Children’s Hospital
Summary
Council and community organizers described the Day in the Park event on Aug. 15 with a Color Run, national anthem, cheerleader performances, a car show, wrestling at 5 p.m., a band and fireworks; volunteers and golf carts were requested.
Council member Sexton and community volunteers detailed the Day in the Park schedule and volunteer needs for the Aug. 15 event. The day will begin with a Color Run (sign-ups 8–8:45 a.m., start 9 a.m.), followed by an 11 a.m. national anthem performance, youth cheerleading exhibitions, a car show, a wrestling exhibition at 5 p.m., a headlining band and fireworks to end the night.
"We will start the national anthem at 11AM. Vanessa Hughes... will sing," the council member said, and added a list of planned activities and volunteer roles. Organizers asked for volunteers to shuttle attendees with golf carts and said volunteer sign-ups and registration forms are available at local businesses and the courthouse sign-up location.
Why it matters: The event is a significant community gathering with fundraising (the Color Run’s proceeds to benefit autism programming at Children’s Hospital) and logistical needs tied to safety, mutual-aid coordination and volunteer staffing.
