Community Care Lakefield changed it up a bit this year and held their annual Walk-A-Thon last Friday and departed from the Rabbit Street location. The walk was led by Jodie Mulder and even the heavy downpour of rain could not stop the group from walking the streets of Lakefield. To make the walk more interesting participants were given clues for a scavenger hunt made up of Lakefield questions.
