5. 2021 Law Enforcement Torch Run For Special Olympics
It's been a couple of years since our area Law Enforcement Officers have gotten to run as one with last year's event being virtual.

Be watching for your fellow public servants this Tuesday morning and cheer them on! The run will start at 7:30 AM from the Walmart Supercenter on Zero Street.
