Members of the community will gather at the Adams County Courthouse. There will be a few comments made, and then we will start walking toward the park. The first stop will be at The Mercy House, a male recovery home, for water and to sign a banner explaining why you walk. From there, the walk continues down the street to the Center for Youth & Community Development. There, you will receive a small reminder about the walk. Afterward, the walk proceeds to the park. A small memorial service will be held, along with a display of those lost in Adams County. Naloxone and other information will be provided.
