Soldier Attempts Second World Record at Go Commando
August 15, 2011
Montgomery County, TN – To say Marc DiBernardo runs for a reason is an understatement. On Saturday, October 15th, this Fort Campbell Soldier will run in the Go Commando Half Marathon presented by CDE Lightband in hopes of breaking his second world record. His mission is to bring awareness to Team Red, White & Blue, a non-profit organization committed to wounded veterans and their families.
DiBernardo began running when he joined the military in 2002. However, he soon took running to a new level. Each time he enters an event, DiBernardo wears a unique piece of racing equipment, a gas mask. What started as a lighthearted approach to fitness turned into a passion. DiBernardo has participated in several military challenge competitions, including Fort Campbell’s ‘Toughest Air Assault Competition’ in 2007. Now he has set his sights to Go Commando and he’s bringing the mask with him.
Fort Campbell Soldier Marc DiBernardo will attempt a second world record at the Go Commando Half Marathon Saturday, October 15th.
Pooch Pool Party was a wonderful event for pets and their owners
August 15, 2011
Clarksville, TN – The City of Clarksville held their first Pooch Pool Party this weekend at the Swan Lake Swimming Pool. Around 60 pets participated in this ground breaking event for the City of Clarksville. One reason that Swan Lake pool was chosen was due to the fact that the kids wading pool is the only zero-entry swimming pool in our area. Both of the pools at the facility were open to the pets. Special ramps were attached to the hand rails to allow easy entry and exit from the main pool.
In addition to the swimming, there were several games held including a big splash contest. Liz McGraw’s Malti-poo (Maltese and Poodle mix) McKenzie won the contest for animals for 30 pounds and under. Door prizes from the various sponsors were also given away.
