From the official wedbiste: The Frisco Sunrise Rotary has been working in your community with Lochrann’s Irish Pub & Eatery located in Frisco Square, to promote a 2 Mile run and Kids’ 50 yard dash to benefit FFSC. In keeping with the St. Patrick’s Day weekend theme, we are calling the event the PADDY DASH! The two mile run will start in beautiful Frisco Square on March 14th, 2009 at 8:30 a.m., on a challenging but scenic course. More than just a run, this event is intended to have something for the whole family. There will be bounce houses for the kids, a silent auction, face painting as well as a dunk tank. We will even have an Irish Beauty Queen for Grand Marshall!
