The Vinton-Shellsburg High School students who are planning their trip to Washington, D.C., and New York City in April have been conducting a variety of fund-raisers, and are now planning a uniquely colorful one. Called a Color-A-Thon, the event will combine running, walking and lots of color. During this event, which happens July 29, runners will begin with white shirts that collect color from others as the runners/walkers complete the route. The event will take place at VSHS, at 6 p.m. Saturday, July 29. Registration begins at 5 p.m., but to be guaranteed a t-shirt and color pack, participants must register by July 20.
