THE  MAYORS'  WALK

The afternoon will kick-off with "The Mayors' Walk." The mayor of every town in southern Illinois (or their designee) is invited to leisurely walk one lap on the track together. It is suggested they wear a cap or shirt with their town's name and colors. This walk symbolizes the solidarity of southern Illinois - not just a geographic region but an interconnected community. Additionally, the Mayors' Walk will speak volumes about their town's commitment to fitness and children's health.

These southern Illinois mayors plan on attending June 9 and participating in THE MAYORS' WALK:

Mary Jane Chesley of Mt. Vernon
