Santa Run 2015

Have you always wanted to run a 5K race dressed as Santa? If so, here’s your chance-- the Crystal Lake Kiwanis Santa Run for the Kids on Sunday, December 6th! The Crystal Lake Kiwanis put on a great 5K with all the proceeds benefiting several organizations, including Main Stay. The race begins at the Raue Center in Crystal Lake and all participants receive a Santa suit to wear during the race. It’s a wonderful and healthy way to kick off the holiday season!

Special Olympics

Fun was had by all at the recent Illinois State Equestrian Special Olympics event held on Saturday, October 24th and Sunday, October 25th. The weekend was a wonderful time to showcase our riders’ skills and celebrate their accomplishments which included 2 gold, 3 silver, and 4 bronze medals as well as a 4th place and two 5th place finishes! It’s a joy to see how proud the riders and their families are as they compete in their various equestrian disciplines of showmanship, dressage, trail class, English and western equitation.
