Thank you to everyone who joined us for Let’s Light the Way 5K! It was a beautiful evening to experience the lights. The frosted fields and impressive sunset added to a pretty awesome evening! Enjoy the pictures, and thanks again to everyone who participated! Thank you to PCHS for use of the bus, Tim Bishop for safely transporting our runners to their starting point, to Walmart for donating the 1 mile prizes, Nate Schwanebeck for making sure we always have what we need, and to the Sis family for hosting such a fun and unique event. You’re all appreciated!

The Sis's have outdone themselves! It's well worth the drive to see the magic they've created. A friendly reminder that the race is Sunday, but the lights are available for viewing throughout the holiday season, ending New Year's Eve.
