No doubt there will be more locations where magazines will be dropped for folks to grab a copy. I need to get some copies to central and north Louisiana. If anyone in from central and north Louisiana who would be in South Louisiana soon for runs, rides or Mardi Gras, let me know. I could use help spreading some Louisiana Multisport Reports up north. Thanks.
This Saturday is the Sweetheart Run in Thomas Park on Geraldine Street in Acadiana. Sure hope the rain stops. It should be one of the few days with sun, so grab your honey and see if you can catch her. It starts at 8 a.m. and it’s a relay for two miles. For info write Todd Delahoussaye at boardmember@... .
