The Mercantile was honored to be part of Candler Park's 2008 cheering section for the ING Marathon on March 30. This year, Candler Park cheerleaders succeeded in winning the first place prize of $10,000 to benefit the park. What a win! It's no wonder, however. Participants gathered at 6:00 am with their cowbell noise makers in the midst of wind and rain to display orange hats, orange balloons, orange tree wraps, orange tee shirts, orange shoes, and a cheery banner encouraging the runners on past mile 8. And let's not forget the biggest surprise hit of the cheering section; our own crew of professional belly dancers clad in orange! Thank you, ladies!
The planning committee for the cheering section included Mary Alice Bray, JoJo Ross, Carla Key, Crystal Budd, and Janea Boyles. Also, a great crew of enthusiastic neighbors joined us to make it a robust crowd. The runners really seemed to love it and we can only imagine what momentum Candler Park can ride on for next year's contest.
Congratulations Candler Park!
