Thursday morning I came in and set up for the seniors right away, and then I went and got all the supplies ready for the summer programs. Then it was time for running club and the kids did not let me forget that I promised them that we would go “exploring today”. Their goal was to get lost in the trails, but little did they know I knew the trails very well and there was no way that we were going to get lost. We took off and I let my group of kids pick which trail and direction in where they wanted to go. I’ve really enjoyed the group of kids that did running club this year, and I was really impressed cause I never had any problems with them. Thursday afternoon I sorted the 5k registrations and then went around Winona and collected the door prizes that were donated. On Friday I got the programs ready to go and went and picked up the golf cart since we had a lot of running around to do. In the park vendors were setting up, Holly & I drove around and made sure they got what they needed. Friday at 5pm was parade registration and this year’s theme was Solute to Our Heroes. Once again I was in charge of registration for the parade. Saturday morning came very quickly. I was at the park by 6:00 a.m. and setting up tables for registrations, prizes fruit and water. I was in charge of registration for the Firecracker 5k & then after the race had to hand out the awards for each age category. KRA does our timing for our Firecracker 5k and this year they tried a new program, which didn’t work correctly after the first 2 racers finished. It recorded everyone’s times, but it didn’t match up with the correct person. So we had to write down everyone’s number in the order that they crossed they finished line. We then had to go through and make a list of each age and gender category from 1-6. As well as going through each age registration form to see who they were and what category they belonged in. For example we had numbers in order like 2106, 4078, 334 so we had to find that number on their form and find out whom that person was and their age/gender. That delayed the results for a while.
