In Person Flutterby Cincinnati Walk - One Mile
Please join us for this year’s Flutterby Cincinnati fundraiser on Saturday, June 10th at Miami Whitewater Forest & Harbor! Our day will kick off with a family friendly one mile walk at 9 am and will end in a BYOP (bring your own picnic) by the water with music, kid activities, split the pot, raffle baskets, and more! This is a rain or shine event, but in the case of severe weather, the walk portion will be cancelled for that day and we will relocate the rest of the event to 13 Below Brewery from 12-2 pm, and you can complete the walk virtually any time in the month of June. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR REGISTRATION: Please individually register each person in your family that is attending so that each person is listed in your cart as a participant, and make sure to include their dates of birth as anyone under 18 is free. All proceeds will go to organizations that benefit local pregnancy and infant loss families. Be sure to follow us on Facebook at Flutterby Cincinnati for walk updates, community sponsor spotlights, and future events! FAQs: Do I have to walk to attend the picnic/can I just do the walk? You can do whatever your heart desires! Believe us, we know summer schedules are packed, and you may only be able to make it out for an hour, or maybe you'd rather skip the walk and just hang out afterwards - all welcomed choices. This is a community event, both for and by our community, but it's also a fundraiser effort, so the registration fee for the walk, the raffle baskets, the split the pot, the tshirt sales, those are all ways for us to raise money for a cause that is so very meaningful and personal to us and so many others. We truly appreciate all the support we've been shown already, and thank you for whatever way you choose to support this event. I've never been to Miami Whitewater and it looks like a huge park; how do I get to your event? There are two entrances for the park; one off Mt. Hope Rd and one off West Rd. There will be signs guiding you at turns to get to the lake/harbor/playground area. You can use the address listed on this site for GPS directions. Do I have to pay to get into the park? Miami Whitewater is a Great Parks of Hamilton County that usually requires admittance fee, but for our Flutterby friends it's on us! Just tell them you’re there for the Flutterby Cincinnati event. Where specifically in the park is the event? We will have signs showing you the way, but we will be in Harbor Point, which is the big grassy area between the snack bar and the lake. You can walk right through the snack bar area or walk around the building towards the water. We will be meeting by the gazebo (if you're facing the snack bar building, its to the left on the sidewalk) to begin the walk, which will be around the inner walking loop (one mile), and the picnic party is back in the grassy area. There is also a playground, swings, restrooms, and an air conditioned gift shop/nature center right next to us! What should I bring? Blanket and/or chairs for the picnic party afterwards, a cooler for your lunch/snacks, bug spray, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, water bottles (especially if you’re walking, stay hydrated!), cash for the split the pot and raffle tickets (we will also be accepting Venmo). The event is rain or shine, so we’ll be sure to keep you updated if you'll need to pack a rain jacket :) Are dogs allowed? Yes, please! We love to see your furry family members, but please keep them on a leash at all times. Can we ride bikes/scooters? Since we are sharing the loop with the general public, and we’re sure it’ll be a busy day due to the beautiful weather (manifesting), we ask that no bikes/scooters are used during the walk, but feel free to zip around the park afterwards! What about strollers/wagons? Yes, strollers/wagons are an exception (we as parents know the changing moods of a 32 lb toddler who may insist on no longer walking halfway through the mile) What do we do for lunch/food? This is a BYOP event (bring your own picnic!) We will have cold drinks and cold treats available, but if you want to munch on something, you can pack your own lunch, or there is a snack bar located directly behind our event area, and there are also numerous restaurants located on New Haven Road and Harrison Ave ten minutes from the park. Options include Chandler’s Burger Bistro, Dairy Queen, Skyline, McDonalds, Subway, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Freddy’s, Ichiban Asian Fusion, Penn Station, Wendys, and Valle Escondidos. How's the wifi/internet/cell reception at the park? Honestly, our experience varies; some days it's better than others, so please keep in mind that the reception may be spotty in that part of the park.
