The last weekend of this busy month is even more busy, if that is possible. Hike for Kids, a fundraising event for the Blue Sky Fund, is this weekend and it has grown in stature. The purpose of the Blue Sky Fund is to increase the number of Richmond City Public School students that connect with nature.
From the event’s webpage:

Enjoy the challenge of our
3-mile (family-friendly!), 8-mile, or 14-mile
loops, each starting and ending at the Virginia War Memorial. Soak in unforgettable river views and the crisp autumn air while hiking for a good cause – celebrate the end of your hike with beer, food and fun festivities for the whole family!
