Red Ribbon Drug Prevention Walk Brings Free Family Activities to Nomahegan Park

Union County, NJ – Union County’s annual Red Ribbon Drug Prevention Walk features a full slate of free children’s activities, all in the cause of raising awareness about preventing drug and alcohol abuse. This year’s Red Ribbon Drug Prevention Walk will be held on Saturday, October 18 at Nomahegan Park in Cranford, including free family activities and a family fun walk. The rain date for the event will be Saturday, October 25 at the same time and location.

“Red Ribbon Day helps you talk to your children about positive, healthy choices while they are still very young,” said Freeholder Chairman Christopher Hudak. “It helps you lay a good foundation for family communication, which will become all the more important as your children grow older and encounter new challenges.”

The Red Ribbon Drug Prevention Walk is held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and will include free activities such as a petting zoo, field games, face painting, and a helicopter landing.

The Walk portion of the event will begin at approximately 10:30 with the Formal Ceremony taking place immediately after.
