Burkettt Tire Center, Magistrate Rick Postalwaite, Mayor Curtis Garretson, Minnie Hamilton Health System, Mom's Place Too, Road ID, Specialty Graphics, and State Farm agent Tim Moore.

When a community comes together good things can happen.

Not only did we raise awareness for our beautiful park, but we also raised some money to help keep it nice. Last but not least, thanks to all of the participants below and their family and friends that came out to show their support.
