AX THROWING, FUN RUN AND SHADE
Michaela Bierman, director of the city’s Tourism and Visitor’s Bureau, told Beneath the Surface News that one of the biggest things the city has added this year is shade.
“We will have a giant tent set up and that’s where cornhole, ax throwing and mini golf will be held,” Michaela said

Runners competing in the 10K will start at 8 a.m.; walkers/runners in the 5K will start at 8:15 and the one-mile fun run (strollers welcome) begins at 8:30.
