Good Luck Perianne!

We have an Olympic hopeful from the town of Almonte, just about 10 minutes down the road from here. Perianne Jones is a cross-country skier heading for Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics, and the town held 5K and 10K fund raising races for her last weekend, on September 27th. It was a cool and rainy morning, but over two hundred runners showed up and braved the weather. The photo to the right is just after the start of the races, and it made the front page of the local paper as well as being chosen as a featured photo by WeSay.
