2. Citizen Articles There were two articles of interest in the local Citizen newspaper. The first was about the author involved with the 5K/8K run. Chairperson Branch submitted this information to the Citizen and will also submit a press release to other newspapers. The second was about the hole in the ground discovered at Hidden Spring Park and speculated on its original purpose as it was brick lined, so possibly for ice storage. Four of these have been found in Centerville. 3. Festival of Lakes The race begins and ends at Hidden Springs Park with registration from 7 am to 8 am. Small water bottles purchased for runners, the Rice Creek Regional Park mileage signs need to be covered to avoid confusion for runners, the in-line skating event has been dropped for this year, t-shirts purchased only for those who have signed up for the event and there has been communication with the police department regarding traffic control, runner assistance, porta potties, emergency vehicles stand by and emergency weather shelter.
