Want to be a part of the best of Bowen Island? Sometimes our fair isle is not so fair with dissension knee-capping movement on issues and projects. Even Bowfest, our beloved annual summer festival, was almost paralyzed last year for lack of agreement. I am grateful to say Aaron’s Run is the polar opposite. Volunteers, sponsorship, and product are generously offered every year. It’s the Bowen Island we adore, the community we love that I see in spades. So thank you, Bowen Island for putting your best foot forward and helping to create Aaron’s Run. Once again, the finish-line refreshments are beyond fabulous thanks to the following businesses that donate their product every year: Village Baker, Savary Island Pie, McTaggart Water, and Artisan Eats. Heather Hodson, Katherine Gish, and Judi Gedye are choreographing all the fresh pie, muffins and fruit. Thank you! Phoenix is once again generously supplying 19 red and white balloons representing Aaron Sluggett’s 19 years.
So come walk, jog, shuffle, or shimmy for 10km, 8km, 5km or 2km on Saturday June 14 and embrace the best of Bowen Island, where the essence of our community is alive and thriving. Proceeds benefit the Aaron Sluggett Memorial Scholarship awarding this year’s recipient with $1000 for post secondary education. Check out: aaronsrun.com for routes, start times, and registration.
