The city of Phoenix will host the 2010 Census Portrait of America Road Tour at Maryvale Baseball Park from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on March 15. Maryvale Baseball Park is the spring training home of the Milwaukee Brewers, who host a home game at the park at 1 p.m. on March 15.
The Census Road Tour is part of a massive outreach and awareness campaign that has stopped at more than 800 events nationwide. From local parades and festivals to major sporting events, the Road Tour attempts to motivate America's growing and increasingly diverse population to complete and mail back the 10-question census form when it arrives in mailboxes March 15-17.
At each Road Tour event, attendees have the opportunity to learn about the 2010 Census and understand the benefits a complete count can bring to communities everywhere; view a sample 2010 Census form and learn how the collected information is used; and contribute stories and photos to the Portrait of America project to explain why "I count!" and view messages from other road tour participants.
