The Whitefish Community Foundation’s Great Fish Color Run and Nonprofit Fair drew hundreds of folks to Depot Park last week. The Color Run was turned into a color toss Saturday due to poor air quality, but that didn’t detour participants who rolled in, ran through and flung the powdered color on themselves and their friends.
The 45 nonprofits participating in the Great Fish showed off their work with booths at the park.
The Great Fish Challenge 10-week giving campaign ends on Friday, Sept. 15 at 5 p.m.
