5 Fast Facts for Saturday’s From The Heart Run
Hundreds will take to the trails and streets around Owatonna Saturday, May 5 for the 10th anniversary From the Heart Run. The community effort will raise thousands of dollars to support five local families in their journey with cancer.
The event begins with a spaghetti supper, silent and live auction, and bake sale Friday at the Owatonna Middle School from 4:30 - 8 pm. Advance tickets are available at Kottke Jewelers, Washington Elementary and Profinium Financial. They will also be purchased at the door. The cost is $7 in advance and $8 at the door.
Meet the benefiting families on Friday. Tanya Powell has worked as a Steele County social worker for about 15 years.
