On Friday, September 18, J Baer and Associates, an accounting firm in Jackson, held their first 5 Mile Run, Walk, or Crawl Event. Participants were asked to run, walk, or crawl their way to the finish line. The event was held on the LaCroix Recreational Trail at the Shawnee Sports Complex Friday afternoon. The firm expects to host it again next year and make it an annual event.
The event was held to raise money for the local Special Olympics. Co-sponsors for the fundraiser were United Land Title and Capaha Bank. All together, a total of $800 was raised for Special Olympics.
