Good Morning Hartland (8-22-11)

Happy Monday. I'm sorry my slow start today, but without further delay — here are five tidbits of news and information that we hope you'll find useful or entertaining.

And remember always included in this Monday through Friday feature is a video (at right) from someone wishing every one "good morning" as part of a message to our community.

4. Melon Run Results

There were at least six Hartland area finishers in Friday's Melon races. For complete results, click here. If you also competed but we missed you, feel free to add your results in comments and I'll put your name on a list to check in future results. As Friday's trivia question shows, it's hard to find local racers based on address. Congrats to the runners.
