BBBS 5 Year Celebration

I got up at 5am to shave my legs in preparation for the big event this morning....so you know it had to be something important to me! I am on the board of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Utah and we have been planning a 5K fundraiser for the past few months...Today was the day. It was a fabulous day. We held it at Highland Park in Coral Canyon and watching the sunrise from the top of the mountain was magnificent. I'm impressed that they put a park right on the edge of the mesa, valuable real estate, but it makes for a very scenic run along their path. While there weren't as many runners as I would have hoped for it was a great event and I hope we will make it annual and the attendance will grow. We had a band- the Scott Emett band, they were great. There was a bounce house and a 1k for the kids, it was so cute to watch them race and see how excited they were to tell their parents what place they came in!
As an added bonus I bought some of the raffle tickets and I won an acoustic guitar! It is beautiful and I am going to have to hit up Braxton and Kurklan (my nephews) to teach me to play!
