SEE THEM RUN Come out to support Girls on the Run of the Golden Isles and witness the thrill of accomplishment and pure JOY! The annual GOTR 5K will be held at Blythe Island Regional Park on Saturday, May 7, starting at 8:30 a.m. This is a trail run that is open to the public. Because Girls on the Run focuses on self-improvement and achieving goals, the race is not chip-timed (there will be a clock at the finish). Girls who are currently participating in the program are already registered for the 5K and will receive their race materials the morning of the event. For all other 5K participants, packets can be picked up starting at 7:30 a.m. on race day. Register online at gotrgoldenisles.org/5K. SPRING FESTIVAL AT THE FARM Come meet Blossom and Poppy! These sweet new additions to The Farm at Oatland North will be happy to greet you along with Mr. Wonkey Donkey, and the many other rescued horses, goats, pigs, and cats at the annual Spring Festival. This free event that includes games, snacks, and lots of family fun will take place at 70 Cannons Point, SSI, on April 10 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. There’s always a wonderful turnout of island children and their families, as well as the volunteers and donors who ensure loving care is provided to over three dozen animals at The Farm. All donations to the non-profit Farm at Oatland North benefit the care and feeding of the animals. thefarmssi.org
SINGING TO SAVE LIVES Local “legends” will be grabbing the mic for a cure on Friday, April 22 as part of the ACS Victory Board CUREoke event presented by Parker’s. Come out to The Tree Bar at Bennie’s Red Barn from 7:00-10:00 p.m. to enjoy an evening of food and fun performances hosted by local 80s cover band Squirt Gun. Proceeds from this musical extravaganza benefit the American Cancer Society. Thanks in part to ACS contributions, more than 1.5 million lives have been saved in the US in the past two decades. Surely that’s a good reason to come out and celebrate! Tickets are $50/person and include dinner and two drink tickets. They can be purchased online at acsvictoryboard.org. Follow American Cancer Society Victory Board social media accounts for updates and performer reveals.
