Nebraska Autism Society Puzzle Walk, 5k, and donut give away

We only got one donut this year. There were vouchers.
Here is a photo of my voucher:











I didn't use the soft drink portion of it.
I forgot to ask where the donuts were from. Maybe hyvee? I had a chocolate frosted cake donut.
Here's a picture of that too:
















So if anyone was wondering what the Nebraska Autism Society Puzzle Walk is, it's a fundraiser for the Nebraska Autism Society in the form of a 5k and a carnival/fair type thing. This year it was held at the Ralston Arena and started off with the 5k at 8:30am around downtown Ralston. If you are confused as to where Ralston is, as most people probably should be, it's a small town basically in Omaha and its downtown is SUPER HILLY. I did not run the 5k this year. I ran it last year when it was at the University of Nebraska at Omaha's campus. Maybe next year I'll be ready for the hills. My cousin ran it though and came in first in her class. She got a medal. She's pretty amazing.

Anyways, after the 5k you can hang out in the arena and there are bounce houses for the kids and a bunch of stands set up around the arena. Some are carnival games. There's face painting. There are some informational tables for services catering to families affected by autism. TD Bank was handing out tons of stuff with their logo on it, including a super spiffy post it note set. I'm not sure what it had to do with autism, but I like post it notes organized into a small box with a pen and ruler included.

After you hang out in the fair part for a while, there is a fun walk that is super short and doesn't go very far, but all the kids who do the fun walk get medals too! There's are pretty cool, laser cut pieces of plastic in the shape of a puzzle piece.

And then we all went out to Chili's where my cousins' son ordered possibly the most expensive thing on the menu. No biggie.It was salmon and ribs. He's got good taste. I should have asked him what he thought of the donuts earlier.
