Run - Walk - Slide.....your way to fun!
Come on out to Center Grove Orchard and join us for our 4th annual Pumpkin Relay on Saturday, October 22! Whether you are a runner, walker, or kiddo, all ages and abilities are welcome and encouraged to participate in a fun, family-friendly, and non-competitive event. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Scott & Joy Andrews family from Huxley. They are the proud parents of four children. In 2015, their son Josh, then 5 years old, was diagnosed with leukemia. Since that time, he's had extensive treatment that involves time in the hospital. Joy is a past employee of Center Grove Orchard and oldest son Joe is a current employee. Through all of this, they remain steadfast in their faith and are grateful for the support of their family, friends, community and school. All proceeds from the event will go to the family.
