Wow!  Hard to believe we are down to the last Wednesday Night At The Races, where has the summer gone?  Plan on spending the evening this time because following the races it will be the end of the season picnic (please note location change).

The last week of this free race series with the Young Athletes Foundation and Grandma's Marathon  is tomorrow, Wednesday, August 31 at Wade Stadium,101 North 35 Avenue West.  These exciting races are always much anticipated, although this one is bittersweet marking the end of the season.  Times remain the same, registration is between 5:00 p.m. and 5:50 p.m. each race night, and the races begin at 6 p.m.  On average, 400 children take part in the races every week!
