BERLIN, CT — Democratic Berlin mayoral hopeful Brian DeLude has announced a Labor Day walk through town on Monday, Sept. 1, with folks encouraged to join him.

It is called a “Walk Across Berlin,” and DeLude, a current Berlin Board of Education member, said it will bring neighbors, businesses, and community organizations together.

The walk will begin in South Kensington, continue through the center of Berlin, proceed into East Berlin, and finish with a town hall event at a yet-to-be-determined venue.
