Grab a friend and your favorite pair of heels and join Hometown Happenings for the “Walk a Mile in Her Heels” on Saturday, August 9 at 4 p.m. at Carriage Court Pizza, 211 S. East St. in Crown Point.
The event consists of a 1 mile walk through historic downtown Crown Point. Pre-registration cost is $15 if you wear heels and $18 if you wear comfortable shoes. Cost is $25 on event day. Participants in the walk will vote for a local women’s charity with the top vote getters sharing in the proceeds. Find a golden shoe hidden along the route and in participating stores and win a wrap bracelet from D2E Gallery. Participants are also invited to bring a decorated shoe that will be auctioned off with auction proceeds also benefiting local women’s charities. After the walk, enjoy light snacks from Smokey’s Basement BBQ and live music from American Idol participant John Fister.
The walk is also being used to bring attention to ending the five-year statute of limitations on sexual assault in Indiana. More than 3,000 signatures have been gathered. For more information about the event and the petition, go to hometownhappenings.net.
