First Thursday returns with new events

Colfax Chamber of Commerce will add two events to the August edition of its First Thursday event today from 3 to 9 p.m. in Colfax.

Beginning at 6:30 a kids race inaugural popsicle fun run will debut. Participants will run, walk or jog a short distance along the race route, then traverse an obstacle course in Eells Park. They will race back to the start and chow down on a popsicle. Once the popsicle is gone, the next teammate will go.

Entry in the popsicle fun run will cost $15 per solo racer or $45 for a team of four. Each entry includes a popsicle, t-shirt and raffle ticket.
