Saturday, July 13 we headed to Gresham High School for the Hershey Track and Field Games. Hershey has funded these games all over the country for over 30 years as a way to promote fitness in kids ages 9-14. Gresham Parks and Recreation organized the event for Gresham kids and Return Serve volunteers were there to help with registration, record event results, chase after runaway softballs and to cheer on the participants. The day was cloudy and cold and there were not many kids who came to play, but the fun news is that most of those who did were able to place for the regional games in Salem! It's good for everyone to get out and run around a bit, and it's great for the City of Gresham to keep looking for ways to have more programming for not a lot more money. The Games definitely accomplished both.
