...serving up your daily dish.
Lots of Happenings in Baristaville this weekend, including the The Goodwill 5000 Meter Run/Walk, this Saturday at the Montclair Art Museum. The 5K race, presented by Goodwill Rescue Mission of Newark, generates funds for the Mission's programs -- to provide food, shelter, and counseling to poor and homeless people.
*Heads up: South Mountain Avenue will be closed to traffic from 7:30 am to approximately 8:45 am.
Registration for the Goodwill 5000 is available on race day from 7:00 a.m.- 8:15 a.m. inside the Art Museum registration hall. The run begins promptly at 8:30 am; a one-mile fun run starts at 8 am. The two-turn course proceeds along South Mountain Avenue, and includes one water station. Participants get custom-designed T-shirts and race bags while supplies last. Bring a can of food to donate to Goodwill Rescue Mission's food bank; for more information, contact Aubrey Blanda

I will be there as a volunteer since I have a long race on Sunday. Chris, are you going to be there, either as a runner or a volunteer?
This is a for a great cause, everyone.

I'll be running the Goodwill, Martta.
The Swamp Devil too, though it might be a run-walk affair!

Good luck to you! Tom will be working the finish line.

I'm running in the Goodwill. Hopefully, they'll keep the street closed long enough for me to finish the race.
