Willie's 10K for Farm Aid to raise funds for American farmers
August 12, 2002

Willie's 10K for Farm Aid Training Programs

This ain't no picnic!

It's the national run and "mosey" with Willie that will raise big money for a great cause: our American farmers.

And the 10K run at 8 a.m. on August 25 is just the beginning. Let's just say, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., it's "wall to wall Willie!"

After the Sunday morning 10K run, special musical guests, including Corey Morrow and Kevin Fowler, will start a blow-out concert on on Austin's Auditorium Shores. At 6 p.m., Willie Nelson & Family will take the stage and play until 8 p.m.

Then the Willie concert is followed by a free, exclusive premiere of the first in the upcoming PBS American Master series, "Willie Nelson: Still is Still Moving". The 90-minute documentary, produced by Thirteen/WNET New York, profiles the iconic musician who has toured almost non-stop for 40 years, logging millions of miles and thousands of nights. The film's rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into Willie's life on and off the bus. Austinite Turk Pipkin is a co-writer and producer.

Make sure to bring the family out early to enjoy the Farmer's Market, produced by Austin's homegrown Whole Foods. There'll be an all-comers BBQ cookoff contest where you can judge who has the best BBQ in Texas. Food, beverages, kids activities and a FREE Krispy Kreme Donut Dipping Station add to the fun.

The national Willie Nelson Farm Aid 10K has chosen the fitness mecca of Austin as its centerpiece, to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and gathers funds to keep farm families on their land. Runners from across the nation will descend upon Austin to enjoy the 10K run with Austinites and other national running enthusiasts and "mosey-ers".

Farm Aid has raised more than $24 million to promote a strong and resilient family farm system of agriculture. Farm Aid supports national, regional and local efforts to promote sustainable agriculture, fight factory farms, advocate for fair farm prices, and provide credit counseling and direct assistance to farm families.

To make a donation today, folks can call (800) FARM-AID or visit www.FarmAid.org.
