5K Black Hills Little Battles 9.9.2023

 


With temperatures in the mid 60's, several members of the RCWA gathered at Old Story Book Island Park today to support the Little Black Hills Battles at Monument Pediatrics.  This is a  fundraiser to assist young people (and their parents) battling diseases at Monument Pediatrics.

Attendees (12) included Rick, Ed, Frank, Lon, Maggie, Keith, Denni, Grant, Tony, Tyler, Bob and Kathie

Giraffes were designed and tested by Jerry.  All  55 giraffes were made by Jerry using 1" poplar.  Thanks Jerry!

Frank, Bob and Kathie assisted the little folks with the coloring of giraffes or love bugs  or vans.  Tony and his friend Tyler glued and installed wheels.  Rick, Ed, Grant, Lon, Keith and Denni helped the little folks test out and race their vehicles of choice.  Over 45 giraffes were colored by kids of all ages ranging from a few months to teens.  Twenty love bugs/vans were colored, wheeled and raced.  Many parents and lots of kids were very excited about the wooden toys today!
