Thank you, Cedar Valley Chasers!
 Cedar Valley United Way would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who made this year's Cedar Valley Chase event a success!
Fifty teams battled it out on Saturday racing from location to location around the Cedar Valley. Competitors tested their skills by riding tricycles, dressing mannequins, and competing in other crazy challenges. The winning team took home a $200 prize, finishing in 2 hours and 10 minutes.
Sarah Pauls, Kristin Kline, Alan Simmer, Jennifer Miller, Mike Barrett, Maureen Burum and Kari Jansen made up the event's committee, and forty volunteers gave their time and talents to help with registration and at each of the challenges.
