Burke's Run


MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 

By Kathie B. Anderson, Reporter
Rich County Times

    On Saturday, August 2, 2013, Burke Christensen accomplished his goal of running 67 miles around Bear Lake.  Christensen, who turned 67 years old in December, used this goal as a fund raiser for the Garden City Library, raising more than $750.00.  Blistered and Exhausted, HE DID IT!  Mayor John Suppler presented Burke a handmade frame and photograph of Bear Lake, and the Garden City Librarian, and the Garden City Library Board of Directors presented a letter to Christensen, thanking him for his tremendous kindness and generosity.  Every patron of the library will benefit from his run!
