‘Fall Fest’ event, including 5K run will be Oct. 26 in Wayland

Anthony Winters, founder of the “This Is Wayland” web page, is spearheading an effort for a special “Fall Fest” day and 5K run Saturday, Oct. 26.

Plans are for a five-kilometer run that day that starts at the City Park and ends there. Included in his plans for a fun-filled day are food trucks, a 5K walk, craft show, disc golf, a cornhole tournament and a visit from the Grand Rapids Drive basketball team mascot.

The 5K run will traverse city streets, mostly on the northwest side of town. Winters said he’d like to start early on that Saturday morning and wrap things up in the afternoon.

He said he has notified Wayland Union schools to encourage a student artist to design a logo for a T-shirt, which a small scholarship as a prize. More than 100 entries have been received. Another small scholarship could go to a club, program or class.
