Here are a few pictures of the 5K race that was held prior to the parade that was held here in the town of Grand Island, New York. The weather was lovely, and there were many people outside to watch the festivities. This 5K run/walk was named for a man named Dick Bessel. My sister participated in the race. She ran and she walked. Well, I am far too lazy to run a 5K so I walked to the site to take pictures of the people who go go go. Today’s post is part one, featuring the 5K.






Tomorrow: pictures from the parade!
