What a beautiful day for the Optimist Club of Hernando Laurie Wiley 5K!

Thank you to all the runners, walkers, families, volunteers, and guests who came out to support this special event. The race was a great success, and participants were able to enjoy the 52nd Annual A’Fair afterward for a full day of shopping, food, and fun on the historic Hernando town square.

We truly couldn’t have asked for better weather or a better community turnout. Thank you for supporting the Hernando Optimist Club and helping make it such a memorable day!
