This is such a unique run/walk event for Fulton for several reasons: because it occurs a fter dark\, AND along the top of the levee\, AND follows along the riverfr ont in Fulton\, AND the levee is lined with luminaries...it makes for a be autiful backdrop to this special event. \;  \;\n \; In years p ast\, the 'Annual Illuminated 5K Run/Walk' has always been held on Friday evening and would kick off the Fulton Christmas Walk held downtown Fulton.  \; This year will be a little different. \; The run/walk will sti ll be held on Friday night\, December 6th\, 2019\, but this year\, the Chr istmas Walk has been moved to Saturday\, December 7th\, for several reason s\, the most prevalent one being for the safety of the run/walk participan ts. \;\n \; The Christmas Walk \; itself has always drawn a pr etty large crowd of people\, most are looking for a parking spot\, and man euvering along the streets in that search. \; The drivers aren't expec ting or anticipating having a pedestrian\, runner or walker in their path so there has been quite a few 'close calls' over the years. \;  \; Because the race begins on the street downtown Fulton\, there has always b een a concern for the amount of traffic\, the runners and the compromised visability of nighttime for the drivers. \; Jean Roeder is the race or ganizer. Once she has all the event details arranged\, registrations will be available at www.Getmeregistered.com\, sometime closer to the event.\nS aturday's fun will start off again this year with 'Breakfast with Santa' h eld at the Fulton Fire Station first thing in the morning. \; It is a benefit for the Fulton Volunteer Fire Department and is held from 7 - 10AM . \; Fulton is all a-buzz! \; \;\n \; Next\, Wierenga's He ritage Canyon with the help of the Early American Crafters comes to life a t Noon until 7:00 PM for 'Christmas in the Canyon'. \; Carolers\, craf ts and activiites for all ages! \; They have the fireplaces in the hea rths of the buildings all stoked up and it makes for a perfect place to wa rm up\, listen to the stories of life in the 1800's and enjoy the sights a nd sounds of the season. \; \;\n \; Finally\, downtown Fulton\ , the annual Christmas walk with a theme of 'Old-Fashioned Hometown Christ mas' \;will begin at 5:00 and go until 7:30 PM. \; It will start w ith the official 'Welcome to Fulton' presentation by the Mayor of Fulton\, Mike Ottens\, followed the \;'Lighting of the Tree'. \;  \;&n bsp\;\n \; This is just a tiny sample of all the activities that will be going on in Fulton the annual Christmas holiday 'kick-off' on December 6 and 7\, 2019. \; The (Boy) Scouts will most likely be serving up the ir Soup Supper\, too. \; FREE cookies and treats will be offered at do wntown businesses\, and community organizations\, carolers\, 'live' nativi ty\, hot cocoa\, coffee and cider\, decorations\, and LOTS of lights!  \; \;\n \; This is just a start of what you can expect \; to f ind in Fulton the first Friday and Saturday in December this year. \; Come check it out for yourself and prepare to get 'in the mood' for Christ mas and the holidays! \;  \; https://www.cityoffulton.us/event/211 -annual-illuminated-christmas-5k-run-walk.html DTSTART:20191206T230000Z DTEND:20191207T010000Z LOCATION:Fulton\, IL (Fulton\, IL USA) SUMMARY:Annual Illuminated Christmas 5K Run/Walk URL:https://www.cityoffulton.us/event/211-annual-illuminated-christmas-5k-r un-walk.html END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
