Every year at the Valparaiso, IN Popcorn Festival they have a 5K run. This year was the first time we have gone to watch, mainly because my son (Matthew) and his wife (Caitlyn) were in the race. Also in the race was Rick Trapp a long time friend who has been running for quite a while now. This was Matthew & Cait’s first run but the amazing thing was that Cait had just had hip surgery about 8-weeks ago. Anyway it was a great time as the Popcorn Festival always is. If you live around the area and have never been, make plans to go next year. Hope you enjoy the images.

I thought the image above was interesting. I can’t tell if the lady in the lower right is happy or upset.




Walkers with a nice steady pace!
