Great Pumpkin Race

     This fun run was started to benefit Northwest Children's Home and Syringa House. It includes a 5k and 1 mile run or walk. The 1 mile race is designed for kids. The parents are encouraged to run with their kids, but they can watch from the middle of the park.
     Everybody has a good time with their kids. There are healthy snacks and activities for everyone. The kids from Northwest Children's Home and Syringa House learn more about community service (and enjoy it). It is also a way for both homes to thank the Nampa community for all the great support they receive throughout the year.
     The last couple of years have included a steak feed provided by Outback Steakhouse as a fund raising activity for the race. Mmmm good!
