"On your mark"...looks simple enough, the start of the Dolly Dash 5K/Fun Run at ONU on Saturday.
What makes it a Fun Run? Something to do with Oreos, balloons, and eggs.
See the photos below for the fun part of the Dash. Proceeds from the event go to the Dolly Pardon's Imagination Library, which is located in the library in Kenton.
