Run/walk is new to slate of events
A weekend full of music, food, fun and competition is on tap Friday-Sunday at the 2012 Fall Festival at St. Mary Catholic Parish in Burlington.
New to the festival this year is a 5K run/walk set for 8 a.m. Saturday on the grounds of the St. Francis Center at highways W and 36. The entry fee is $25 per person or $60 for a family of up to four participants.
The festival will again sponsor a bean bag toss tournament for up to 32 teams on both Saturday and Sunday. Play begins at noon both days.
