With the support of our local Special Olympics, we successfully hosted our inaugural County Wide annual track and field day this week. We were excited to share the experience with local school districts, including Cannon Falls, Goodhue County Education District, Red Wing, Kenyon-Wanamingo and Goodhue. We are grateful for the support of our staff and students, who helped facilitate the event. It was truly an unforgettable day!
