To the Editor:
Rotary is hosting two more events in September and we invite everyone to participate! The Rotary/Mahoosuc Kids Association 5K and 1-mile event is on Sunday, September 17, with the Presenting Sponsor being HealthReach Community Health Centers; T-shirt Sponsor, Blair Industries; and Prize Sponsor, The Glen House. Registration for the 5K and 1 Mile can be done online at www.runreg.com/bethel-rotary-5K.
Everyone ages 18 and under participates for free, and adult registration is only $15. The first 100 registrants are guaranteed a commemorative t-shirt, and there will be lots of prizes and refreshments for all. The event is held at the Valentine Farm Conservation Center of the Mahoosuc Land Trust, at 162 N. Rd. in Bethel. Check-in and post-registration begins at 7 a.m. The 1-mile run starts at 8:30 a.m. and the 5K run/walk begins at 9 a.m. Day-of registration goes up to $20, so please register before Friday, September 15.
On Sunday, September 10, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., you are all invited to the 3rd Annual Mahoosuc Art & Agriculture Tour. For $20 per vehicle, you can enjoy a tour of local farms, with an added bonus of the opportunity to purchase their products and potentially lunch, visiting with and potentially purchasing from area artists and artisans who will be at each farm location, and talking with Rotarians who will serve as hosts at each farm.
The tickets/map will be for sale starting at 9 a.m. on that morning at the Rotary tent set up on the lawn next to the Gem Theater on Cross St. This event is held in partnership with BAAM (Bethel Area Arts & Music), the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce and the Local Food Connection.
These events benefit the community, with all proceeds of the 5K/1 mile earmarked for after-school and enrichment activities for the youth of the SAD #44 area. Many thanks to the following businesses and individuals for sponsorship support!
