More than 10 churches have partnered for an inaugural Talbot Goes Purple outreach event next month in Easton, with family fun and education on standing up against substance abuse.
The free event, called Purple in the Park, is scheduled from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 16, in Idlewild Park.
Along with information on Talbot Goes Purple, the event is set to include lots of family fun, such as face painting, corn hole, fire trucks, a giant sling shot water balloon contest, free food and music. Talbot County sheriff’s deputies also will attend with K-9 demonstrations.
Talbot County Sheriff Joe Gamble will kick off the event with updates on the project and how the community can stay involved.
