Ms Fest! MS'issippi Walk - N - Roll

Walk, Roll and Rock Your Way to Clinton IA

On September 18th Clinton, IA is the place to be with two walks for two great causes and music all day long!

The day starts at 8 AM with registration for the Walk to End Alzheimer's at NelsonCorp Field, a vintage ballpark that's home of the Clinton LumberKings. The two mile walk is at 9:30 following a 9:00 AM presentation. Registered participants who generate $100 in pledges four weeks in advance receive a free T-shirt. Contact Megan Olsen 563-293-8056 or email mkolsen@alz.org for details.

The 1st Annual MS Fest to support area victims of multiple sclerosis at River View Bandshell begins at 9:00 AM with registration for the MS'issippi Walk "n" Roll, a 3k/5k walk which begins at 10:30. Both walks are on Clinton's beautiful Discovery Trail along the Mississippi. Take a rockin' stroll at the Walk-n-Roll!

MS Fest combines a walk with some of the area's best performers from 9:30 -2:30, with The Beez, followed by Brooke Byam and the Daymakers, The Unidynes, and The Mamiltons. These groups will play a delightful mix of original and covers ranging from alt country to blues to indie rock.

The MS'issippi Walk-n-Roll promotes awareness of MS. Proceeds from the MS Fest go to The Finch Fund (for local MS victims) with a portion donated to the Upper Midwest Chapter of the National MS Society. Funds are raised through sponsorships, commemorative clothing sales, donations, and the Jan Ottens Memorial silent auction, a rummage sale and 10 for $10 sales. The MS Fest is FREE to the public.
