The annual YMCA Firecracker 5K was started with a bang on Saturday, thanks to a miniature cannon supplied by Mayor Brian Wyndham. YMCA Executive Director Nicole Fry did not have the registration numbers at hand but said she was pleased with the turnout. The event's main sponsor was Riddell National Bank, who sponsored a series of races at the YMCA this year. Other sponsors include Britt Aero, Ace Hardware, PDF, Emmert Realty, Margaret Berry Attorney At Law, A+ Printing, and Miller & Stewart.
