The Fall Fitness Run was held on Saturday, November 17 at the Elementary Complex in Baxley. This year’s 30th annual Fall Fitness Run was dedicated to Baylee Brewer, the 9 year old daughter of Angela Murray and Caleb Brewer. The dedication was given at the beginning of the Awards Ceremony by Lee Fowler. Friends and cheerleading buddies, Laine Carter, Caitlyn Fowler, Rayanna Stipe, and Elisabeth Hale, assisted Lee with the dedication. Baylee has always been a dedicated participant in the Fall Fitness Run, enjoying running, walking and having fun with her friends and family. Her first Fall Fitness Run was in a stroller in 2004. By the time she was 5, she was jogging the mile. Last year, Baylee ran in the mile and 5k. In honor of Baylee, this year’s Fall Fitness Run t-shirt design bears her name on a heart, symbolizing our love for Baylee and her love of the Fall Fitness Run. [Full Story »]
