Boone Pioneer Festival 5K

DODD DIXON AND SYDNEY MILLER ARE HERE TO TELL US ABOUT THIS YEAR’S DANIEL BOONE PIONEER FESTIVAL 5-K.

THE DANIEL BOONE PIONEER FESTIVAL STARTED WITH A SMALL GROUP FROM THE WINCHESTER ART GUILD IN 1978. THE EVENT WAS HELD DOWNTOWN AROUND THE COURTHOUSE FOR LOCAL ARTS & CRAFTS. TODAY THE EVENT HAS OVER 150 VENDORS THAT ONLY SELL HANDCRAFTED ITEMS AND WAS MOVED TO COLLEGE PARK FOR MORE SPACE.
IN ORDER TO PROVIDE MORE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT A 5K RUN/WALK WAS ADDED ON SATURDAY MORNING. THE GEORGE ROGERS CLARK HIGH SCHOOL TRACK & CROSS COUNTRY TEAMS HOLDS THE RUN AS A FUNDRAISER AND THE GRC CHEERLEADING TEAM HOLDS THE WALK. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR GRC TRACK & CROSS COUNTRY HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE RUN AND THEY ARE VERY EXCITED!
