From the Organizer
On the front campus of PHS. A great way to start the weekend with a run across the Parkersburg High School campus. Kona Ice will be there along with the Parkersburg Fire Department to keep us cool with a steam of water over the lawn. Parkersburg Police will be there to show the kids what first responders do for us everyday. Bring a change of clothes! Parents welcome to join us in the water fun too.
