Pre-Race Pasta Party
2009 participants enjoyed live music with “The Boomers” on the Downtown Square as they loaded up on a delicious pasta dinner provided by Marina’s on the Square.
Held in conjunction with the Main Street Friday Night Live concert series, this was a perfect way to load up on carbs as we relaxed to some fun tunes. A special dining area was set up for the half marathon and kids fun run participants.
There will be a Pasta Party sponsored by Main Street Revitalization Program on Friday, October 15, 2010. Details will be posted here when available.
