Today was Tiffin's Color Run.  It was a 5k run where at different stations throughout the path there were volunteers throwing color into the runners/walkers. Our day started at 8 at Hedges Boyer park.  First thing we had to learn the course, it was a little tricky because it overlapped in places and after two laps around one spot they had to go a different way.  After we learned the course we had to start setting up the stations with color, tarps (for easy clean-up), water for the runners, and we had to teach volunteers the course as well as how to throw the color without getting it all over everyone's faces. About 15 minutes before the race started, we had to go set up the road blocks.  This ended up being a huge issue because there were still a ton of people trying to come in but obviously we couldn't have people driving on the race course.  So that was a bit of a challenge for a while.  All in all, it was a pretty cool event and a fun way to kind of kick off my internship.

Little league opening day at Oakley park! 

The morning was full of excitement from all the kids ready to start the season and the honoring of Dan Waters, who had been extremely involved in helping with little league for many years that was retiring.  

Unfortunately for me, it had rained the night before and there were big puddles all over the fields.  We did our best beforehand to work up the fields but I eventually had to go on a mission for turface so we could adsorb the water as much as possible. 

I got back, we laid out the turface.  After that, I joined Hannah who was taking pictures of everything and then the games began!

LESSON LEARNED: Do NOT drop a 25 pound bag of turface....especially not into your car....
