Grand Opening and Heritage Day, so the Colour Run
had to compete with each of these for participants and
attendees. Its too bad in a way, but its also nice that
the town is doing so much as well, said Mailman.
One suggestion that Mailman has, is for each of the
aforementioned committees to meet up and create a
plan, all of our committees could get together at one
point, and have an idea of when our things are going
on, and we could let everybody know so that somebody
doesnt plan something, Mailman said.
With so few participants, Mailman worries that the
three committees that put on the Colour Run will not
actually make any profit this year. The three commit-
Artist In tees involved are the Beach Enhancement Committee
(which Mailman sits on), the Rotary Club and the Li-
Our ons Club.

themselves at the Colour Run, which started and ended
at the Ag Grounds in Minnedosa. There was also a Kid-
die Run, which allowed some of the youngsters to run
around the Ag Grounds, getting coloured with the paint,
before the rest of the group set offfor the 5km run around
Scam Skate town. As the rest of the group started running, volunteers
sprayed them with various colours of paint, and by the
Longboard end, the colour white was afraid to show its face.

plaints about the run. Last year, there were comments
