The annual Farm 5K Benefit Run/Walk has always been a pillar of support for our local volunteer fire and rescue squads. This year, in the aftermath of the March wildfires that struck Hardy County, our support for them is more essential than ever. Many of our Junior Crew and staff worked alongside the volunteer fire + rescue crews, attempting to save homes from the quickly spreading fires. The footage seen in this video was taken by several of our staff members. We're calling on YOU to get involved and help us support our first responders. Help us make a big difference in our small community! Share this post and visit farm5k.org to donate and register today.
