WALNUT– The City of Walnut is seeking nominations for our “L.A. County Fair Community Hero 2016” who will also serve as the 2016 Family Festival Parade Grand Marshal.
A Community Hero is someone who works determinedly to make a difference in the community without thought of recognition or reward. They volunteer at local hospitals, schools, churches and organizations such as Relay for Life, American Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity. This is your chance to nominate an individual whom you feel contributes to the quality of life in Walnut.
Selected heroes will be honored at the L.A. County Fair during a special presentation that will take place on Walnut’s Day at the Fair on Thursday, September 15, 2016. The Walnut Family Festival will follow on Saturday, October 8.
