HMEA 5K Road Race - photos

The 13th Annual HMEA Independence Day 5K Walk, Run and Stroll took place on Sunday May 18th. I helped as part of a group that coordinated the road race pre-registered runners, day-of registrations, and then managed the course with water stops, etc. Once the race was underway, I was positioned at the 2 mile mark to provide the time as the runners came by. I managed to see the runners on their way out to the turn around point before reading them their time. I captured a bunch of photos as the runners passed by and then photos from the awards ceremony after the race.

Ben Burgess lead Brad Highcove early on but Brad eventually won

1st female winner overall = Mary Cole

The Estate at Franklin - an Emeritus Senior Living community

The construction fences are down and finishing touches being applied to the new building at 656 King St.

This is the promise that the staff at The Estate at Franklin – and throughout all Emeritus Senior Living communities – live by. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful – a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for their home. 

The Estate at Franklin is a brand new senior residential community. This community is being specifically designed and built for seniors who need some assistance with daily living, such as medication management, dressing, or bathing. The Estate at Franklin also includes a Memory Care Neighborhood for those who are experiencing some memory loss. As we get ready to open our doors, we invite you learn more about us!
