Earth Day labyrinth walk planned

Article Image Alt Text

EARTH DAY 2020 is Wednesday, April 22. The Heart in the Park began celebrating the day in 2008, a year following the completion of the labyrinth. In the past, we’ve had music, style shows of recycled fashions, plant giveaways, and music on this special day. This year, we ask that you observe Earth Day’s 50th anniversary by joining in a walk on the heart-shaped labyrinth. From 12:00 noon until evening, grab a green ribbon, “tie one on” our metal heart, and take a walk! We will be there together in spirit! The theme of Earth Day 2020 is “climate action.” It will be celebrated with “The Great Global Cleanup,” a day dedicated to removing trash from green spaces and urban centers alike. After your labyrinth walk, join the effort to cleanup this part of the world!

Take Charley Adams of Youngstown, OH. His mother, 80 year old Julie Adams, resides in the Windsor Estates Assisted Living facility and her doting son was anxious to visit her. But, alas, the pandemic had caused the residence to “lock down” due to the threat of contagion. So, Charley -- used his ingenuity -- and received an okay to use a bucket truck to lift himself up to her third-floor window for a visit with Julie. Talk about social distancing.
