When we got back to Green River on Friday we had the good fortune of being in the middle of the Green River Melon Days. The biggest thing that goes on in this little community …

Wanting to delay our return to “reality,” we/I decided it would be fun to run/jog in the Green River Melon Days 5K early Saturday morning. Nothing more than spending a couple dollars to support the local high school which includes Grades 7 – 12 and has only 77 students and 9 teachers. Crazy, considering my graduating class alone was 535 students! The principal of the school was handing out the t-shirts and manning the booth on Friday and then was in charge of officiating and running the race … talk about multi-tasking! I think every teacher at the school had at least 4 – 5 different roles.

After the run we went to one of the melon stands and loaded up with 53 lbs of melons to be distributed through our neighborhood. YUM!
