On Wednesday, March 21st @ 3:00 kids were invited to the library to have tunnel races. The library was going to have an obstacle course in the park, but it rained on Tuesday, was windy on Wednesday and was suppose to rain also on Wednesday. So instead we have tunnel racing inside the library.

About 10 kids showed up for this event. But those that did really had fun. The kids raced in two age groups and were timed to see who won. Winners were Riley Roll who made it in 7 seconds, and Abby Adams who made it in 5 seconds. Each young lady beat out a brother by only 1 second.

After the race was done the kids were allowed to just play in the tunnels. The really seemed to enjoy it. A small snack snack was provided. Trophies were given to Riley and Abby.
