The People Have Spoken!
Today while at BMR for the craft fair, we held a vote to choose the t-shirt design to be used for our 1st Annual 5K Road Race & Relay Walk that will take place on May 5th. We had 6 design's present and all received votes, there were 140 votes placed and 93 votes went to this winning design. All that took the time to stop and talk with us and voted were entered into a raffle. 3 winners were chosen during our board meeting following the craft fair. 1st prize was a Cory's Crusader hat and it went to Sam Houle, 2nd prize was a Cory's Crusaders Sweatshirt and went to Sarah Alves and the 3rd prize was a Cory's Crusaders t-shirt and that went to "the original or first" Robin Gautreau! We thank you all for helping us decide on the t-shirt design that will represent our first event!
