4H Fair - August 7-9, 2013

Every August, Middle Earth hosts a burger stand at the 4H Fair, encouraging volunteerism among our youth and raising funds for our agency.

"Run from Winter" 10K Race

Middle Earth hosts a 10K run through Duke Island Park on the third weekend in March. The event raises funds for Middle Earth and fills a void in the local area for races that are longer than 5K but not a half marathon. Prizes for top winners and t-shirts for all racers are distributed. Get more information by visiting our event page.
