I’m volunteering as a (Trikke-riding) course marshal/sweeper for the Delta Harvest Run. Would you believe they may have some 1,000 people running it!

Barbara Cowan, please share any activities in Antioch or elsewhere with me. I love sharing all of the amazing activities that are happening in our community. And Susan Morgan, the Delta Harvest Run has exploded with runners! Our local food banks and pantry will be stocked with food. I’m going to have to write a follow up article about the bounty that they will be donating!
