Beautiful day… Color everywhere… Smiles, laughter, friends, fun. What a great start to a Saturday!
I participated in my first Color Me Rad event last Saturday, April 26, at the Mid America Center in Council Bluffs. My niece joined me as we power-walked along the 5K course. Many people jogged, some brought strollers and wagons, and a few dressed in tutus and special costumes.
We began wearing white, which quickly became speckled with color from the color bags we were given to begin the fun. As we proceeded around the course, we encountered several sections where volunteers covered us in color. It was fun to see some people rolling around in the colors, or throwing it at each other to see who could become the most colorful.
We made our way to the last color spot (purple!) and then to the finish line, with more color and celebration. Everyone was so energized and happy, something about color and being outside that does that to people. The Color Me Rad was so much fun, and I look forward to participating again in the future!
