We are all tired and happy this afternoon, after our incredibly successful and fun experience yesterday with the Great Farm Trek. If you weren’t able to make it, these shots will give you an idea of the energy and excitement that was flowing all afternoon. (Mine are just from the Farm, where Trekkers ended up, but more of the march will be posted soon.)
We can’t say enough ‘thank-you’s’ to those who helped in endless ways, but we’ll keep trying! Enjoy the first batch of photos!
