In the spirit of Halloween, the Alzheimer Society of Huron County hosted their 2nd annual fall run with a 5k, 10k and kids run on the trails of Central Huron. "We had an awesome turn out and the weather cooper- ated as best it could," said Brittany Williams, events coordinator. "Overall it was a really fun day. People really got into the Halloween spirit and had a great time, despite the mud everybody had a good run." The Veenstra family gener- ously offered use of their trail behind the One Care and Alzheimer Huron offices, allowing runners to enjoy a course packed with beautiful fall scenery.

"It's in it's infancy stages now, but it's a program we're working on that we think will really benefit families." For sisters Samantha and Maranda Klaver of Seaforth, the day's event was not only a chance to get out and enjoy a run, but help raise money for an important cause. "You don't see a lot of 5k or 10k races around here," said Samantha. "So, to be in our home community of Huron County, it's pretty awesome and it's great to support a local organization, especially something that affects pretty much everyone:' For more information on the Alzheimer Society of Huron County's event and programs, as well as how to donate, visit www.alzheimer. ca/huroncounty.
