They were reminded that Terry Fox, who ran through Gravenhurst in 1981 and celebrated his birthday here at huge public celebration, weathered the same kind of conditions on his journey from the East Coast to Thunder Bay.

Orgnizers were happy with the turnout, led by almost two dozen Anglers Jr. A hockey team members.

And a lot of kids, parents, and a large group from the Wood Mill who wore yellow T-shirts and plastic bags over them.
