This past weekend I had the opportunity to help at the Javalina Chase Cycling Event. This was a successful economic development event for our county. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It brought money into our area for food, gas, and hotels. The cyclists saw our charming little town and loved it.
I was asked to be the Master of Ceremonies for the awards ceremonies and other activities throughout the day.
At the beginning there was a 5K run/walk.
Here I am with the Hupps after the race.

Helping with the awards was our own Greenlee County Rodeo Royalty.
An awards ceremony was held after the Saturday events.
We had a large group of racers from Nogales. There were also other teams from other towns. They all seemed to have a good time.
A big thank you goes out to John and Pam Lieberenz who planned and organized this event. They did months of planning to put this all together. There were also many, many others who made this possible working at different locations throughout the race.
Way to go Greenlee County!!
