500 people showed up on Saturday to run in the 5K Elf Yourself event sponsored by the city, the chamber of commerce, Panasonic, Soroptimists International and other groups. Young kids, people with dogs, and dozens of senior citizens were part of the event. On hand was Mayor Voigts, Parks Commissioner Loretta Herrin, and Col. Tom Cagley. Jeremy Olsen (from the chamber) and I were there to run the cowbell and greet each person as they finished their laps. Mary Visconte (from the chamber) coordinated the event.
Also on hand were more than a dozen exhibitors, including Bowl of Heaven, Patch Coffee, the Pet Adoption Center of Orange County, the Boys and Girls Club of Laguna Beach, Tito's Burritos, and Kiwanis International of Lake Forest.
We had perfect weather and it was great fun.
