Flaming Fall Foliage Fund Raiser

Each year the Lions Club helps out with the Flaming Fall Foliage Relay Race, as a fund-raiser for the club.

Preparations for the race started at 3:30 am. Here Lions Anne and Carolyn check in some of the first racers.

The racers kept coming, and Lions Anne and Carolyn kept checking them in. It's chilly up here in the mountains.

Of course, you can't have a race without a tee-shirt. Check-ins continue past dawn.

...and the racers are off!
