Rain or Shine!

Well, for 7 years we've been dodging the testy weather, let's hope we can do it again! 

We plan to hold the event Rain or Shine...  Currently the worst of the weather appears forecast for late afternoon... if it remains that way, we may tighten up the agenda, and shorten the walk distance. 

Please plan to come and be part of this great fundraising event Rain or Shine!

Here we go!

The 8th Annual Roll & Stroll is upon us!

Lots of great additions this season... amongst the greatest of which is 27 new teams!  TWENTY-SEVEN!    Wow!  

Additionally, Hy-Vee is on board catering a picnic lunch of hotdogs and chips.... be sure to hit registration before heading to the food truck.   We're also taking less chances with the wonderful weather we've had in the past... this year we'll have tent to tuck under, just in case!  

You may have already seen this PSA... but check it out, as Robin Wolfram and Alan Reed will be with us... which means, FUN!
