Congratulations to our lucky winners!

Thanks to a recent and very generous donation from the Fresno Grizzlies, two of this year's Walk to Mordor participants will be attending a game in style, for free, with a guest of their choice! 

Congratulations to those lucky winners, Lily L. of Auberry and Ben M. of Kingsburg!* 


Of course, everyone who took part in the challenge and committed to their personal goals is a "winner" in our book! 

Stay tuned for another post soon, revealing how far we traveled together this year--and more!

*All Fresno County residents who reached at least one milestone in this year's Walk to Mordor program (excepting Fresno County Public Library staff) were included in this random prize drawing.
