MILTON — The 2018 "Walk for Mommy and Me" will take place 10 a.m. to noon April 21 at Carpenter’s Park on Munson Highway in Milton.

We encourage everyone to come out and have a good time."
The walk around the park will feature booths with information of interest to parents, including nutrition and car seat safety, activities and games for children, the Crash Test Dummies and other local mascots.
