Received the following note from Rev. Elizabeth:
Perhaps the biggest sporting event here in town, the Fairfax Relays, will be held at the school on Tuesday, October 3rd. Teams arrive around 3; there are usually at least nine schools competing. It is a series of relay races made of different teams (all boys, all girls, mixed) and different age levels.
Winners receive prizes of--home made cookies! I think there will be some sort of costume contest, too.
There is a bake sale, (though I don't think maple donuts will be available. )
Parents of the runners all come together to set up the stadium, do the timing,scoring, greeting arriving teams, etc.
It is an amazing event to see/participate in.
