Sheriff's Posse and 4-H Members ride in Bonner Superfund Run

On April 18, 2009, the Bonner Superfund Run drew over 160 runners aged 4 to 80. With perfect weather, the runners participated in 1-mile, 5K and 10K events. From the Rocky Mountain Packers 4-H Club, Sandy and Allysa Morris, and Michelle and Morgan Tucker put on their running shoes to compete in the 10K race. Morgan and Allysa placed 1st and 2nd in their age division. Congratulations!

Local sponsors and volunteers were generous; providing money, support, food and prizes. Rocky Mountain Packers Vyonne Moran, Jacob Moran and Lori Zeiser manned a water station on Rustic Road. The event was closed by a horse-mounted Color Guard consisting of riders from the Missoula County Sheriff's Posse and a few 4-H members. Austin Patterson proudly carried the 4-H flag, and Hope Sands, Cherrokee Sands and Kole Swartz rode in the grand community display of nearly 20 uniformed riders. What a great way to celebrate and show appreciation for the new bike/pedestrian and equestrian trails in the Bonner/Turah area!
