[RP TownTalk] Monster Mash Race

[Anne Blein-Zuk]

I will be taking a number of kids from our neighborhoods to attend this race and Health Festival. I hope to reciprocate this type of event in PG some day. If only we had mountain bike trails nearby...

In the meantime, please consider bringing your kids to this event. It's a tone of fun.
