All proceeds will benefit Hope Ministries programs and services to homeless men, women and children. Unlike any other walk-a-thon, we are offering an interactive experience! Along the 1.2 mile path, you will see cardboard testimonies from once-homeless individuals and families who are current shelter residents or recovery program graduates. We will also post statistics about homelessness along the path, and we'll have prizes for participants who complete our fill-in-the-blank stat sheet. NEW THIS YEAR: Help us "Loop the Lake!" With enough participants, we plan to surround Copper Creek Lake to form a "circle of hope" of compassionate men, women and children who will stand together in solidarity for people who are homeless in our community.

Description

WOMEN were crying their make-up off and people’s face and sides were aching from uncontrolled laughter as they watched THE SANDMAN get volunteers from the audience on stage and made them do things they couldn’t believe!!! MAYBE YOU OR ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE THE NEXT STAR OF THE SHOW! From Nashville, TN to stages throughout the U.S., and with over 30 years of stage performances, THE SANDMAN has been crowned the "Copperfield of Hypnotists". Not only do the volunteers on stage become the stars of the show, but THE SANDMAN is using the entire audience now as well. He's got them singing and dancing too! Seems like everyone becomes part of the show! This sure ain't your dull "Hot then Cold" hypnosis show. It's definitely a hip, in your face, take it to the edge performance. Hilarious inbred's from the neighboring state, people smoking illegal "giggle" weed,

men realizing cherished body parts have disappeared, a special trailer park version of the Springer show and much more combined with an astounding and spectacular show finale’ that leaves even the most skeptical witness in awe,THE SANDMAN is virtually unforgettable!
