Hello All,

The Logy Bear 8K, Gummy Bear 5K, and 1 Mile Fun Run - September 26 - Join us for a beautiful day of running! All proceeds benefit the LL12 Foundation in memory of Logan Koontz, one of three Tabb High School students who was killed in a car accident leaving the homecoming dance this past October. The foundation raises money for scholarships for student athletes, helps with camp and equipment fees, supports the ROTC program, and educates teens on the importance of safe riding and driving precautions. Both the Logy Bear 8K and Gummy Bear 5K start in New Quarter Park, continuing on to Lakeshead Drive, then looping through the Queens Lake neighborhood, and finishing at New Quarter Park for the 5K. The runners in the 8K will continue on the fire trail and back to the main road to finish. T-shirts, raffle/door prizes, post-race snacks and refreshments will be available to racers. Official times will be tracked for the 8K, which is also a CRR Grand Prix and Hampton Roads Super Grand Prix event. The first run will begin at 8 a.m. For more information and to register, please visit their website: https://runsignup.com/Race/VA/Williamsburg/TaketheCrownatYorktownTheLogyBear5KandGummyBear1MileFunRun.
 
Movie in the Park - September 26 - The movie starts within 15 minutes after sunset (7 p.m.). This program is a great way to get the family outdoors for a fun event while practicing social distancing. Movie-goers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating. Concessions are available at each movie showing. This month's movie will be The Lion King (2019). A young lion returns to reclaim the throne that was stolen from him and his father by his treacherous and fratricidal uncle after spending his childhood in exile under the care of a friendly warthog and meerkat. The movie will be shown in the softball/multi-purpose field area close to the NQP Park Office. Limited parking spaces close to the field.

See you at the park,
Michael Wilcox
Recreation Supervisor I
