Rooster Run/Walk A Success

To the Editor:

On Saturday, June 7, the 29th Annual Rooster Run/Walk was held. We had a great turnout and the weather held out for us. This event attracted our area’s fastest runners to walkers with their children and babies in strollers. This is not only a very worthy cause as it benefits the Newtown Scholarship Association, but it was also a fun and rewarding time.

This worthwhile race could not have happened if it were not for the sponsorship and volunteering of so many.
