The New Glover Day Citizen Committee is planning a family-friendly Glover Day on Saturday, July 27. The event will include activities like various length road races and walks for all ages. The Glover Ambulance Squad is reviving the Tour de Glover bike race. There will be music by the Bread and Puppet band plus other NEK based musicians and the traditional B & P Runaway Pond Puppet show. There will be a CornHole, HorseShoe Tournaments, more food vendors and other activities for kids including a Bouncy House, Face Painting, Quarter Toss, Rubber Duck Race, Water Balloon Dart Burst and much more.
Registration for the 3 mile walk, the 5.5 mile run and 12.5 mile Tour de Glover Gravel Grinder Bike Race take place on the Glover Green Friday, July 26 from 4-7 pm and on Saturday, July 27 from 7:30 to 9:00 am. The last bus to Run Away Pond and the Glover Town Garage leaves the Green at 8:40 am. The walk and run begin at 9:00 am and the Bike Race at 9:30. The entry for the run, walk and ride is $20 which includes your famous Glover Day T-shirt, race bib, post race souvenir and post race refreshments. An awards ceremony will take place on the Green around 11:45 am Saturday.
The committee is offering Community Service Hours to students from LRUHS and NCUHS. Plus we would enjoy having any community minded person helping us run this great Glover tradition. There are lots of small jobs that will help take the burden off of the committee members. The famous Glover Day T-Shirt with all our sponsors on the back of course will be available for sale. If you would like to volunteer, call Randy at 525-4051.
