The whole family is invited to join in the F.R.E.S.H. Project’s 1st Annual 5K Scrabble Fun Walk/Run during the first Shawano Farmers Market of the season on Saturday, June 15, at Franklin Park. Everyone participating in the Walk/Run will get a free F.R.E.S.H. Project t-shirt and have a chance to win a grand prize! The event starts at 9 AM from the Project’s booth at the Farmers Market. But participants can begin at their own time and set their own pace, with the event wrapping up at 11 AM.
The 5K route is all in town and includes five booths where walkers and runners can learn about the F.R.E.S.H. Project and collect Scrabble . Once someone completes the 5K the route, they’ll place their letters on the Scrabble board and try to spell a word. The person with the most points from their word will be the grand prize winner!
“Everyone had such a great time at last year’s event and we were asked to bring the fun run/walk back again to start off this year’s Shawano Farmers Market.” said F.R.E.S.H. Project Executive Director Barb Mendoza. “Everyone comes out a winner with a great walk or run through town, a free t-shirt, and fun playing a game together!”

Registration is $15 for adults 18 years or older, $10 for youth 17 years old and younger. To learn more about the F.R.E.S.H. Project and to register for the event go to
