Race Volunteers Needed

Alright I know most college students don't exactly "plan ahead" but there are exceptions to this stereotype.

Anyway-The Kent State University Running Club has been asked to assist with volunteering at the Towpath 10k, Half, & Full Marathon on October 10, 2010.

KSU Running Club in association with Grunt Girl Racing is planning on 'running' one of the water spots on the course. If you have ever participated in a road race event you know how much time, effort, and planning occurs to make it happen. If you appreciate that, give up a few hours in the morning and give back to the community!! :)
If you need more incentive...volunteer hours LOOK GREAT on a resume!

Sherlock Holmes Scavenger Hunt to take place in Kent

Sherlock Holmes Scavenger Hunt to take place in Kent

Grand prize is a week stay in a Florida condo..... HOLY SHIT? And THIS is FOR REAL GUYS

The popularity of mystery movies and mystery novels is growing into a worldwide phenomenon. People enjoy watching crime shows on television and they get excited when they solve the mystery before it is revealed.

Main Street Kent is proud to present “The ABC Mysteries” Sherlock Holmes Scavenger Hunt on Saturday, September 25th from 2 p.m. – 6 p.m. Teams of four will race through downtown Kent to find clues throughout local businesses. The clues will lead teams to a downtown Kent business to receive their next clue. Once a team collects all of their clues and reaches the finish line with the “final puzzle” solved, or time runs out, they will be eligible to win a variety of prizes.

Ron Burbick has generously donated the event’s grand prize. It is a week’s stay at a beautiful condo overlooking the water in St. Pete Beach, Florida!

All ages are invited to take place in this event. The event will be held despite the weather. If you’re a detective or you want to take a trip to Florida, this event is the way to go.

As Sherlock Holmes once said, “Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot!”
Cost per team of four is $50. Live music will play from 5 p.m. – 6 p.m. while the winners of the event are being reviewed. Space is very limited. The registration deadline is September 19. Registration forms can be found on Main Street Kent’s website (www.MainStreetKent.com) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/MainStreetKent).
About the grand prize: It is a week’s stay at a condo located in St. Pete Beach, Fl. The development is called Sunrise Resort). It is a two bedroom condo (sleeps four), has a full kitchen, a living area and a balcony overlooking the water. No pets allowed. The condo must be booked by October 31, 2010 and used by June 1, 2011. Kent State spring break dates are available.
