WEST GLOVER — On Sunday, October 8, Fly to Pie’s 6-mile run, bike, or hike from Irasburg to West Glover will be dedicated to supporting the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

The $25 fee for the walk, run, or bike will be dedicated in its entirety to the Red Cross.

Parker Pie is offering up all the pizza you can eat, with Hill Farmstead beer on tap. Music will be provided by Hardwick Granite.

Fly to Pie also offers 13.5, 17, and 26.2-mile distances for running and biking on dirt roads through “the gut” of the Northeast Kingdom, starting at Lakeview Aviation in Coventry and also ending at Parker Pie.

Normally, Kingdom Games donates a portion of its proceeds to local charities. However, organizers say this year it seems the right thing to do to support recovery efforts in Florida and Texas.

Runners and bikers are coming from California, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, and around Vermont to savor the fall foliage, fine pizza, excellent beer on tap, and great music.

Online registration for all courses is open at www.kingdommarathon.com.

  1. Would anyone and everyone reading this be kind enough to walk to the back of the Walmart store in Derby and check on the condition of the tropical fish in the mixed tanks, and the BETA fish in the individual plastic containers. Distressed customers report seeing dead and dying fish choking in dirty cloudy water, many of the fish are suffering from fin rot (parts of fins rot and break off due to parasitic infections caused by fetid/unclean water). The suffering is unnecessary. The manager of Derby Walmart (Nicole Besse) has been informed of the situation. However, little seems to have improved. The fish are still dying through the neglect of the staff, a movement is underway to encourage shoppers to the store to spend a few moments walking through the pet food section to the live fish area where they can see the condition of the live fish for themselves. Please spend a few moments to check on the welfare of the fish and if you see signs of neglect and/or filthy water / dead fish please call for the manager or Walmart sales associates Giselle or Peter, thank you. Bob.
