Along with the Art Walk, Saturday was also the day for the Griggs Hampton Memorial Fun Run, which had a good turn out. 


 
The fun run ended at Donna's Barber Shop....

There were bouncy houses for the kids to play in...
 
and don't forget the adults too!

...and games for everyone to play...

Here the cooks are grilling up food for donations...

It was great seeing everyone enjoying their day and all for a good cause...Griggs would have been proud!
