Jim,

Just a note that once again we will be manning our Gummy Bear Station, at 28th
and Guilford. This is approximately mile 23 (mile 10 for the half marathon).

With 400 pounds of Gummy Bears, up from 320 last year, we promise to be there
until the least-fastest marathoner passes.

For those that don't yet know...
Gummy bears are a great late marathon snack. Here's why:

* You can hold them in your hand and they won't melt.
* They are chewy, and give your mouth something to do.
* They give you the carbs you need and crave.
* They are small enough that you wont choke on them.
* If you do inhale one, you won't die.
* They taste great.
* You can bite their little heads off.


Say Hi as you go by.

Stuart
