Hey kids! What a great summer it has been, and it's not over yet! Bowfest promises to be fantastic this year, and the Rotary Run for Rwanda is on just before the parade. If you are nine or under and sign up really soon, you may be in line for a free Bowfest ticket, which means more spending money for the day! Your registration for the run costs only $10 and if you like, one of your parents gets to run or walk the 1.5K with you. It all starts at 8:30 on the ferry dock. At the end of the run you get a great medal, then fruit and muffins to reward you for all that hard work; what's more, at the prize giving at 10:15, you may win a draw prize as well.
By the way, you don't have to do the kids' run. You could do the 5k or 10k run with your parents or friends or on your own. You won't get lost because there are people to guide you along the way. The long runs start as soon as the kids' run is done at 9 a.m. So hurry off to Phoenix or First Credit Union and hand in your registration forms, or your parents can do it online if they don't have time.
Pick up your Komera bib with your number on it on Friday 22 between 4 and 7 p.m. at the tent on the library lawn to avoid the crowd on Saturday morning. And if you forget to get your registration done before Saturday, you can do it at the last moment, but then you certainly won't get the free Bowfest ticket! But you and your parents can buy advance tickets to Bowfest right there anyway. That saves standing in line at the gates later on.
See you on August 23! By the way, the library lawn is the best spot for watching the
