The “Walk in the Name of Love” was held Saturday at Hope’s Fair Park. The event began with a balloon lift-off. Magigor Love stated she had hoped the weather would be good and the rain held off.
A prayer was said, balloons were released and the participants were off to an eager start. High school cheerleaders were there to offer encouragement. An ambulance rode behind and a gator in front showed the way. The event was a 5 K – walk/run held in honor of the late April Love.
