Saturday morning, one of the
first bright spots of the day was the 5K Harvest Run that took place
in conjunction with the Harvest of Talents event going on at Lincoln Christian Church.
The run began on Hamilton
Street at the corner of Pekin and made its way around the town.

fun with this run.

The event was open to runners and walkers. It was a crisp morning, which led to many coming inside at the church
for warm food and drink after their morning of exercise.
