Our PTC is hosting a Color Fun Run on April 20th at 6 p.m. It will be a mile track with the option to run or walk two miles. We hope that all members of the community and beyond will attend this fun event. Dress in clothing that can get colorful. White works best. Also, please bring a towel or change of clothes to avoid getting color in your car. If you would like to participate but can’t run or walk the course, we need volunteers to throw color and to work water stations. Please let Regina Randolph, Kari Owen, or Cecilia Langston know if you would like to help out.
