Last Saturday (the 3rd), The Salem Sesquicentennial Committee held the Firecracker 5K fun run/walk and IT WAS AWESOME!  More than 120 people gathered first thing in the morning, stretched and started running, walking, and generally having a great time all around downtown Salem.

The best part is is that the proceeds from the $10 entry fee will support the Back Pack program that provides food for Dent County children!  This is a great example of how our church, and organizations throughout the community can make a big impact.  Well done!

Our own Pastor Doug and Ken McGrail helped make this wonderful event happen (we’re so proud!)  Thanks to everybody who helped.

Come and support the Dent County Backpack Program.  There will be a 5k Fun run/walk starting at the Salem Fire Station, starting at 8am on July 3rd.

The entire $10 entry fee will go to the backpack program for Dent County children.

Each participant will receive a 2010 Fun run/Walk T-shirt. (Deadline for entry to ensure T-shirt availability is June 21st)

This event is sponsored by the Salem Sesquicentenial Committee. for more information, please call 729-0029/4551.
