Happy Easter Everyone!

Hello friends of the fawns! We want to thank everyone who attended our Fawn 5K event today. It was a great turnout, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. We are grateful to our volunteers who supported us and helped make the event so successful. Our sincere thanks!

To all of our runners/walkers who attended, this was our first event of this kind, and while we feel it was very successful, we would love to hear from you! Your suggestions, no matter how small, will contribute to making future events better for all involved. Please feel free to comment to this post, or message me separately. We would love to hear from you!

Thank You!

A big Shout out to Amy Chalice – Chalice Winery for hosting our Wine Tasting Event. It was so much fun and everyone was having a great time. If you were there – Thank You! If you couldn’t make it, we will do it again in the fall – so no snow-storm! We also want to thank EG Nick’s for donating their amazing salad and breadsticks – So Good!
