Walk To School Day

This was Walk To School Day, and I went along to help out. Wendy and I met the walkers at a local bank, where the kids each got a ticket making them eligible for prize drawings (the grand prize is a new bicycle). After everyone assembled, off we went on the 7-minute perambulation to the school. It had rained yesterday and during the night, so we were lucky all we had were overcast skies.

I was surprised by the number of kids participating; one estimate put the number of students walking our route at about 200!

Here are four photos I shot of the event:

You can see that Fall has fallen onto the town. Well, that's all for now. Have a good one!
