Pasta Party Friday!

Colton and I are hosting a pasta party on Friday evening to carbo-load our runners and celebrate a great season. I hope your runner will be able to attend! Younger runners can carpool with older runners that drive if rides are needed. Runners should be picked up between 8 and 8:30 p.m.

Your runner doesn't need to bring anything but their appetite! Please email me at whsxc07@gmail.com and let me know if your runner will be attending so I can ensure we have enough food.

My house is about 15 minutes south of WHS. Please email whsxc07@gmail.com if you'd like the address and directions.

I hope your runner can attend!
