The 1st Annual Fort River Pumpkin Run and Pancake Breakfast was a tremendous success! The weather was sunny and brisk, perfect for the mile dash around the beautiful fields at Fort River. The volunteer crew of flapjack makers flipped some tasty treats for everyone to enjoy after their morning exercise. Most runners were adorned in charming costumes and everyone took home a mini pumpkin courtesy of our sponsors Karen and Jeff West of Maple Street in Hadley. Many, many thanks go to our flapjack flippers Seny Salvon, Bill Leonard, and Aaron Osbourne, and to alumni family Bob and Sally Fitz from Small Ones Farm in South Amherst for the delicious apples! Finally we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Deb Christakos for making this inaugural event go off without a hitch. Congrats Deb on the success of this beautiful community celebration!
