Our second WEP weekend starts with one of our most beloved community events—our annual Fun Run. Come along with friends and family to run, jog or walk for the fun of it. All ages are welcome. We can’t wait to see this year’s costumes!
Another highlight of the weekend is the 2016 WEP film Festival. Be sure to head to Discovery Theater and the Building 20 Auditorium to catch this year’s fantastic and broad selection of award-winning features and documentaries.
