Celebrate PINK DAY!

Stop by the Dalton Green Space (corner of Thornton and Waugh) for a free gift, a cookie, and a cup of pink lemonade! Health and beauty vendors will be on site giving free chair massages and acupuncture and Mix 104.5 will broadcast live from the event. A free yoga class will be held at 11:30am.

Supporting breast cancer awareness, Dalton Mayor Dennis Mock will officially proclaim Oct. 19 as Pink Day in Dalton. The proclamation is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.

The event will include a free gift (while supplies last), cookies, pink lemonade, yoga demonstration (following the proclamation), chair massages, acupuncture and nail painting. Health and beauty vendors will be onsite as well, and Mix 104.5 will broadcast live from the event.

Regular breast self-exams, clinical breast exams and mammograms (based on age and health history) are recommended as the best way to detect breast cancer in the early stages.
