The 7th Annual Penny Stashick Ugly Sweater Walk takes place Saturday morning from Robert Simpson Park in Arnprior.
Derek Stashick is Penny’s son, and he’s impressed that the contingent of regular participants grows year-by-year.
If you’ve never heard of the event before, Derek’s late mother Penny is the inspiration.
Derek says most all you need to know about the Ugly Sweater Walk can be found online.
The Penny Stashick Ugly Sweater Walk is not for Sleepy Heads.
Prior to registration you can grab some free nourishment, inspiration- or both.
Derek Stashick says when his mom was ill, the family logged a lot of miles getting the needed CT scans out-of-town.
In addition to the CT Scan Drive, which is at the 95 percent target for funds raised, the Ugly Sweater Walk itself has its own goal of contributing 20 thousand dollars annually.
Derek Stashick extends a warm welcome to all of the new participants he hopes to see tomorrow.
Registration begins at 8AM Saturday at Robert Simpson Park in Arnprior.
