Founders Day Celebration Now Saturday, August 28
Rose Run Park Dedication, Healthy New Albany 5K among other activities
T
he Founders Day Parade & Festival, one of New Albany’s most popular community celebrations, has been tentatively moved from mid-May to Aug. 28 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Given where the world is with community celebrations, we felt like the best thing to do was move the Founders Day 20
celebration back, with hopes that social distancing restrictions will ease by then,” says Linda Honaker, the Founders Day co-chair. “Although we won’t know for sure until later this summer, we are tentatively looking forward to a great Founders Day, along with the other events that will make the day even more fun.”
Rose Run Park Dedication Following the Rose Run 5K, Healthy New Albany will sponsor various family activities around Rose Run Park, the Marx Library Garden and the Heit Center parking lot as a lead up to www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com
