On Friday, November 29th, 2024 we held our 2nd Annual Black Friday 1K, benefitting Family Promise of Lycoming County Inc. The cold day did not damper the mood as many folks still showed up to participate in the charity "race." Most of us walked around the block with our beers, while some got their heart rate up for all of the 0.62 miles jog. The youngest member of the group was only a few months old and the oldest approached 90 years old. New this year was the "Sixth Street Sprint," which we held 3 heats: under 8 years old, 15-40 years old, and 60+ years old. No one got hurt in this friendly competition despite a few falls and barrel rolls, and, more importantly, many laughs were had. Also new this year was the release of "Beer Walk" Hoppy Blonde Ale, with $1 from every pint being donated to Family Promise.
