"Putt for Prizes" is our brand new feature for all our live broadcasts, so make sure you come out and see us and, well, Putt for Prizes. We'll be all over the Twin Tiers this spring and summer ... and fall and winter, too. Another part of March for Babies is the duck race. The first video is the beginning of the race; the second is the end. We have a couple of pictures, too.

The March of Dimes annual walking event, March for Babies, is this coming Sunday, April 19 at Callahan Park in Bradford. Registration begins at 11 a.m. with team photos taken until the Duck Race. The Duck Race is at 12:30 p.m., with winners announced after the walk. A DJ, along with children's activities and live remote by WESB/WRRB will take place before and after the walk to Pitt-Bradford and back. Lunch, hot dogs, chips and water, will be offered walkers when they return to the pavilion. We ask all team captain's to please turn in their donation envelopes on Friday, April 17 at National City Bank, 71 Main St., Bradford. If this is not possible, envelopes will be collected at the field but, it will be easier for the bank volunteers plus you won't have to stand in line if you do it on Friday. See you at Callahan Park, 11 a.m. April 19 for lots of fun in support of the March of Dimes efforts to make every baby be born full-term and healthy!
