Prizes will be given to the person with the most creative outfit and the individual who brings in the most money. Hospital officials and Dianne Smith, chairwoman of the Pike County WalkAmerica, encourage everyone to come out and see the latest and possibly the most absurd fashions. Smith reminds those who do attend to bring plenty of cash for that favorite contestant. Then, tonight, as part of Troy State University's St. Patrick's week-long celebration, a talent show will be held with proceeds going to the March of Dimes. The show will begin at 7 p.m. in the Adams Center Theater on the TSU campus.
Admission is by donation.
In addition to all the fund raisers going on today, pennants featuring the March of Dimes logo, are being sold and will be displayed along the walk route on March 31. Pennants are pink for girls, blue for boys, white for memorials and yellow for expecting parents. Plus, area schools will wind up their coin card collections this week, Smith said.
