Today's the day! Swing by River Bend's indoor yard sale from 9am to 4:30 for some new-to-you treasures. We're also open from 10:30am-to 3:00pm on Saturday. We have everything you know you need, everything you don't know you need and honestly- some things you probably actually don't need but don't let that stop you. 😀

It was a beautiful day for the maple syrup fun run and pancake breakfast! After a slightly frosty start, temperatures warmed into the 60s. We had 234 runners participate, and even more people come to cheer them on and eat pancakes with River Bend syrup!

Congratulations to the top finishers for each distance:
5K - Clara Wopata and Wiley Derby
10K - Brent Krocak and Lauren Allin
25K - Cory Jensen and Erin Ellefsen
50K - Jayden Brutsman and Tyler Susienka

Thank you to all of our volunteers who helped throughout the day with registration, water stops/course marshals, and brunch. We couldn't do it without you!
