Concert to benefit Seymour family

SEYMOUR - A Concert for a Cause will be held starting at 4 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Community Center, 20 Pine St. 

In addition to several local bands, the event will feature food trucks and craft vendors.

It precedes the annual Smoke in the Valley Craft Beer & Chili Festival that will run from noon to 3 p.m. Oct. 4 at the same location.

The concert will benefit the family of Mark Condo, a board member of Smoke in the Valley and of Seymour Tradition.
Condo died in June at age 45. He is survived by a wife and two children.

Smoke in the Valley follows Seymour Pink's 3rd annual Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K, which starts and ends at the community center. 
The walk/run to benefit the nonprofit Seymour Pink will start at 9 a.m. Oct. 4.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I'll be walking and "pounding the pavement" with other members of Griffin Hospital's  'Circle of Friends,' a breast cancer support group. 
Several of us walked last year - after being treated to breakfast and given goody bags full of fun stuff - and had a great time and a lot of laughs.
We may have brought up the rear, but we finished the walk and that's what matters!
