The first annual Pumpkinfest Fun Run had only nine participants, but they came in spirit, dressed in orange shirts, orange hats, faces painted and one, Tammy Schiavi, came dressed in costume. The event was sponsored by the CLC YMCA.
Sophie Stafford of Alna won the one-mile fun run in eight minutes, and Riley Cushing of Newcastle was second in 9:34. Angela Russ won the 2.5-mile run in an impressive time of 14:57. Michelle Walsh was second in 18:43, Bill Avery third in 19:19, Alex Dobrowolski fourth in 19:21, Susan Schiavi fifth in 19:43 and Tammy Schiavi sixth in 19:21. Phyllis Guss was the only walker.
