Saturday event to honor babies who have died

A community gathering and a 1-mile walk to remember babies in the community who have died will take place Saturday morning Downtown.

The first Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Remembrance Walk in Columbus will take place at Genoa Park to remember babies who have died because of miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS or any other cause in pregnancy or infancy.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., and a presentation starts at 10 a.m with readings, music and speakers. Babies are honored by having their names read aloud, and by a butterfly release. The 1-mile reflective walk follows.

Registration is $40 for adults and $35 for seniors; children 15 or younger are free.

Participants can register at Genoa Park on Saturday.
