Our next event will be the “Public Enemy Fest” on Sunday, June 23rd from 10 am to 2 pm.  This event will kick off with the Public Enemy 5K Run/1 Mile Walk.  Whether you participate in the timed 5k run or in the non-timed 1 mile walk, participants will be able to vote for the school, church or charity they wish to see benefit from the event.  Organizations that receive the most votes and those selected in a random drawing will share in the proceeds.

You can register for the Public Enemy 5K Run/1 Mile Walk HERE.

After the Run & Walk, enjoy the rest of the festival which will feature costume contests, live music, food and merchandise vendors, and activities for the kids.

Sponsors Needed!

Because this event helps so many local organizations, it offers a unique opportunity to reach a wide audience of potential new customers.  Rates to sponsor have been made very reasonable to encourage as many in the business community as possible to take part in this event.  For more information about becoming one of our sponsors, please email me at Tim@yourhometownevents.com

Hometown Happenings Sponosrs Elite Runner

by hometownhappenings on March 25, 2013

Hometown Happenings is very proud to announce its sponsorship of Lindsay Hattendorf  in her second attempt to qualify for the Olympic time trials for the marathon distance.  Lindsay hopes to reach this goal at the 2013 Chicago Marathon this October.

In her very first marathon in 2009, Lindsay finished with a time of  2:48.46.  This means only 17 women – and only 8 American women – finished ahead of her.   Since college she has wanted to qualify for the Olympic trials.  Her first attempt was only a minute off from the time she needed.

Lindsay accomplished all of this knowing, just 3 weeks prior, that she had been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.  For the 2013 Chicago Marathon, she has taken on the extra challenge of raising funds for Diabetes research.  Diabetes affects 26 million Americans and, unfortunately, these numbers continue to increase.

While we may not be able to keep up with Lindsay at the race, we can all join her in funding this critical research.  To find out more and to make a donation, please visit her page HERE.  A donation in any amount will go a long way towards making a big difference in this fight!
