Hike For Kids 2018

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.
