Ninety seven participants gathered on the East side of the court house lawn Saturday morning, eager for the Mayor to fire the pistol signaling the start of the Lions Club Warpath. Haskell School Homecoming brought folks home and many enjoyed the beautiful morning walking or running the 5 K, starting and finishing at the gazebo. The Haskell Lions Club has been sponsoring the event the last three years, raising money to support the many projects that benefit our community, our country, and even people with needs in other countries. Look soon for an article with information about many of the projects Lions International carries out.
The top three overall winners were (first) Samantha Burgess of Ballinger, (second) Jim McTasney of Haskell, and (third) Joseph Lopez of Haskell. Female winners in their age group were: 0-10 Tylee Bevel, 10-19 Kaley Mathis, 20-19 Jessica Reiger, 30-39 Michelle Gilbert, 40-49 Kristi Stewart, 50-59 Fonda Newton, 60-69 Mary Rike, and 70 plus Mary Kaplan.

Thank you to all who performed the necessary jobs that enable us to have this event. We appreciate those who helped the runners sign in and get their numbers pinned one, those who controlled traffic, the businesses who advertised on the T shirts, the businesses who donated the great door prizes, the city/chamber for allowing us to use the great new sound system, AND ESPECIALLY all those who participated!!!
