The annual Beginnings Care for Life Walk & Run is Aug. 7, with registration opening at 7:30 a.m. at First Baptist Church, Coldwater. At 8:45 a.m. the one-mile walk around Heritage Park and the 5-K run begins.
Walkers and runners may pre-register and, if they choose, set up their own fundraising page at BeginningsCare.com. Incentive gift cards will be awarded for every $100 each participant raises, said Jane Ford, Beginnings Care executive director.
The event is more than just a race. They also offer children’s games and activities, drawings for prizes and refreshments.
And a silent auction.
Their extensive silent auction of goods and services donated by the community could almost be its own event. And an option for those who want to support Beginnings Care for Life in ways beyond walking and running.

As farmers worked in their fields early this spring, plumes of dust rose from behind their equipment. It looked like the dust bowl for good reasons.
Eric Anderson, field crop educator with MSU Extension, said this area of the state was rated a D2 drought severe drought. It started when then snow falls were below average during the winter.
But at least they could to get crops in the field, said Bob Mayer of Mayer s Great Lakes Glads, Bronson.
This season, Mayer’s planted roughly 550 acres of corn, 900 acres of soybeans and 300 acres of flowers. Typically, they plant nearly 1,000 acres of gladiolus, but due to pandemic-related challenges they changed things up this season.
