The 2012 Peshtigo Historical Day events on Saturday, Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. are announced.
The day begins with the 24th annual Peshtigo Fire Tower Run/Walk at 8 a.m. at Bulldog Stadium near Badger Park. Participants can choose from three different events, a 10K run, 5K run or 5K walk. Entry fee is $15 before Sept. 20 or $20 on the day of the race. Registration will take place from 6:30-7:30 a.m. with both the 10K run and the 5K run/walk start in front of Bulldog Stadium. Volunteers attend the well-marked course, with time splits given at each mile marker. The 10K (6.2 miles) course follows along the Peshtigo River, through wooded trails to paved country roads and returns to the stadium where a lap around the track completes the event. The 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk course also follows along the river, circling back around Badger Park, and finishes inside the stadium.
A new promotion this year is the Green Sneakers Project. Volunteers are asking for help to obtain 1,000 pair of gently used sneakers in their efforts to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Green Sneakers will pay up to $.50 a pound for the shoes. With an average pair of shoes weighing in at about 2 pounds, that’s roughly $1 a pair. Eventually the shoes go to a sorting facility where Green Sneakers staff process the collection, keeping them from the local landfill, and making them ready for distribution to people in need. Shoes must be of the gently used variety, though they may contain holes no larger than a dime, must have the soles and backs intact, and must include the laces. Shoes should be tied together to be sure they stay together throughout the sorting process. They can be taken to the Marinette Civic Center or the YMCA in Menominee. Other future locations will be at Marinette High School and there will also be a location at Bulldog Stadium the day of the race.
Every participant who finishes the event will receive a medal and the overall male and female winners in each event will get a custom plaque. The top finishers in each age group of the 5K and 10K races will receive a homemade apple pie, courtesy of Grandma Ginny’s kitchen. Participants will receive a navy blue dri-fit long sleeve shirt. Availability or correct sizes for the shirts cannot be guaranteed for late registrants. Tortoise and Hare Timing Inc. will provide chip timing and immediate results for all race participants. All participants entered in the event will be eligible for over 60 raffle prizes donated by area businesses.
Sponsors are Berth & Rosenthal Funeral Home, Burger King of Marinette, Country Inn & Suites of Marinette, Culligan Bottled Water, George Webb/Eagle Express, UTC Aerospace Systems previously known as Goodrich, Lee’s Family Foods, Marinette Marine Corporation, NorthReach Peshtigo Family Medicine, Peshtigo Times, Rennes Health & Rehab Center, State Farm Insurance-Rick Thill, Agent, Brothers Three, and Waupaca Foundry.
Additional information or flyers can be obtained by visiting the “2012 Peshtigo Fire Tower Run” Facebook event page or by contacting the race director, Douglas Polomis, 715-735-5249.
Units are expected for the parade starting at 10:30 a.m. Units start lining up at 9:30 a.m. with the route beginning on Oconto Avenue, turning onto Green Street by the Fire Museum to Emery Street and ends in front of the Peshtigo Elementary School. Entry forms can be downloaded from the Peshtigo Chamber website or by contacting Zahn.
Due to some technical difficulties, not every past participant in the parade was mailed an application. Those who still wish to enter the parade can find an application at all of the banks in Peshtigo, Lee’s Family Foods, City Hall, or on the Peshtigo Chamber of Commerce website. Applications have also been printed in the Peshtigo Times and Times Saver. The cost for commercial entries remains at $25 and non-profit, school, community, service or political entries are free. Entries will be received up to parade line-up.
Zahn also announced this is his last year organizing the yearly parade and he is willing to work with whoever wishes to take over the responsibility for next year.
