CROPWALK 2002

An apologetic Mother Nature provided perfect weather for this year’s16th Annual CROPWALK, making up for the cold and wet that canceled last year’s event. Under sunny blue skies and seventy degree temperatures, nearly 700 civic-minded people from Chapel Hill and Carrboro talked the talk and walked the walk in order to benefit the Inter-Faith Council and Church World Service. After a 10 kilometer march through rich and poor neighborhoods of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, the walkers returned to the Carrboro Town Commons for food, music, and certificates for free bread from Great Harvest Bakery.

If you admired the CROPWALK t-shirts this year, this is your chance to get in on the action! Submit an original design for next year’s 17th Annual CROPWALK and if your design is chosen, your family/congregation/organization will be the official CROPWALK Grand Marshall! You’ll walk at the head of the pack, receive free t-shirts with your design, and enjoy the pride that comes with having your artwork displayed on hundreds of sweaty people! Send designs to Leila Dillon, Inter-Faith Council, 110 W. Main Street, Carrboro, NC 27510. Deadline: December 31, 2002.
