Today, on Patriot Day, we remember the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We remember the first responders who ran toward danger. The citizens who helped strangers down stairwells and out of buildings. The volunteers who opened their homes, provided food and shelter, offered medical care, legal support, transportation, comfort, and countless acts of kindness in the days and months that followed.

We remember the families who left home that morning expecting an ordinary day and were forever changed.

And we remember the extraordinary courage, compassion, and unity shown by so many in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

Today, when we run, may we carry them with us — those who lost their lives, those who risked everything to help others, and the families who continue to carry their loss.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

You only have to do ONE leg.

Which are you choosing?

🏊 SWIM — absolutely, throw me in
🚴 BIKE — this feels like the safest choice
🏃 RUN — I know my strengths
🚫 NONE — I’ll hold everyone’s stuff and meet y’all at the finish 😂

And for bonus points: which leg are you ABSOLUTELY NOT doing?

Choose wisely. 👇

📚💕 DOLLY SHOULD 9 TO 5K 💕📚

This one means a little more this year.

For the past several years, we’ve gathered to run a few miles, celebrate our amazing Dolly, and support something she believed in deeply — putting books into the hands of children.

This year, we’ll run in her memory. 🦋✨

Join us January 9th at 9:00 AM with our friends at The Mockingbird Cafe for the annual Dolly Should 9 to 5K!

As always, this run is completely FREE. All we ask is that you bring a new children’s book or monetary donation benefiting the Hancock County Library Foundation, which supports Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library right here in our community. 📚💗

And OF COURSE, we’ll honor Dolly the way we always do:

✨ Costumes HIGHLY encouraged
💎 Rhinestones, fringe & big hair welcomed
🥂 Mimosas at the finish
📚 Books for local kids
💕 A whole lot of Dolly love

🏃‍♀️ Run it. Walk it. Dolly it.

📅 January 9
⏰ 9:00 AM
📍 The Mockingbird Cafe

Come raise a book, a mimosa, and a little hell in honor of a woman who gave the world so much. 🥂🦋💕
