Sunday- mass, crazy fun with the running of the
Red Springs Express Bed Race
Youth and the not so
youthful, pushing their
specially prepared
racing beds up over the
bridge on Inspiration Ave.
and down toward Gibson
Street in a 100 meter dash.
The race is runs in heats and
the good natured
competition between teams
of students, organizations
and service groups gets everyone excited.
Who will take home the trophy plaque in 2009?
As the 2006 official race starter, Governor Janet Napolitano did a great job. We wish her good will as the new Director of Homeland Security. Who will be this years starter?
