2023 Color Run!

​This is a family event.  Strollers and dogs are welcomed!
HOPE is real.  RECOVERY is real.  September is National Recovery Month.  During this month, we salute and celebrate everyone living in recovery and the loved ones who support them as well as the businesses, churches, schools, and other organizations who help end the stigma that could potentially keep them from living their best lives.  We also thank the Wilson County Board of Commissioners for supporting those in recovery by signing the Recovery Proclamation seen below.  RECOVERY is possible!
